How about noise restrictions in Portland? A SCCA racer/friend
recently told me about about the noise restrictions at Laguna Seca.
Said that to get a SuperTrapp [like mine] to conform [90db?]] choked
it about to death. Went on to say that Portland is not nearly as
restrictive. What db do we have to conform to? Any thoughts on
baffled SuperTrapp vs. glass pack [+?] etc. Hope to do Seattle
[Pacific but always SIR to me] the weekend before - what's their policy?
Thanks,
Greg "Lunker" Hilyer
