Think it's drive-by check - but worth a check ....
Dan, it's a fast circuit, 102mph will be a pain, I did another airfield car in my first car and was topping out at 95, it drove me nuts...

Right, just tested with my really basic db meter and either it overeads [which I think it does] or my car is really noisy.
It was going over 100bd from about 2500 rpm. Is my car really that loud?
It passed SVA no probs with the same exhaust and the CVH engine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Stu

I've done Abingdon twice now.
Noise is metered at scrutineering and I think they have a drive by too but it can't be that accurate as the circuit is very very wide and
i've never spotted the meter as i've driven round.
They claim to be very strict on noise........and lap timing and driving standards and just about everything but that does mean the day runs like
clockwork and is probably very safe.

I've just tried my car with a an R1 can pushed onto the downpipe and it is much much quieter than the Westy on at the mo.
Just need to properly fit it now and reckon it will be fine.

Looking like a good turnout from Locostbuilders. Dan, as chief organiser could you order up some sunshine, but with maybe slightly lower
temperatures....
Just a thought, do they have any catering facilities on site?

Off to Switzerland for a few days (work) so I am packed up already.
I will be trailering and am bringing:
Fuel - 60 litres
Oil
Funnels
Water
Socket Set
Spanners
Assorted tools
Tyre Pressure Gauge
Foot Pump
Jump Leads (is Mark Chandler going )
Trolley Jack
Cable ties, tape, rags and other consumables
Crash Helmet
Seat
Light waterproofs for driving
Large waterproof coat for pit use
Big umbrella
Car rain hood thing
Fleece
Gloves
Drivers license - both bits
Money
Not sure we will need sun cream...
I won't be bringing a camera as I never use them!
I guess there will be catering there unless Bob has blagged his day off and fancies doing some catering - in which case Bob let me know what I need to
bring food wise.
Will try and persuade somebody to bring an easyup gazebo thing that we can use if it is raining.
Cheers

The weather forecast is looking worse for Friday than it was when I looked yesterday
Hope it changes again!!
I tested my noise level with my R1 can on yesterday and it was less then 100db at about 5k rpm so hopefully should be fine assuming my meter is
accurate.
