If you are over at all they WILL chuck you out. Happened to three or four cars last time I was there.

Really? Decat and you're out? FFS, if this is the case then it rules me out as I got 3" straight through exhaust banghead

Some times the organisers are lenient but they have clamped down on this recently.
Usually the earlier sessions see the most casualties from noise.

No chance with a decat at Bedford I would say, they are very strict because of the local council. Other tracks are more lenient.

I went there years ago in my standard sprint blue and the 1st thing they did was static readings on all the cars.

Don't think I'll bother to come and watch then. They probably won't let me into the car park.... just checked my Honda mower, and the dB level is 96. So I couldn't push my mower round the track, even though it is more likely to get round than a few Coupes wink

Have a quiet day,

Tim

You are allowed to watch, not sure where thats come from. Plenty of people watch.

Bedford isnt a legal 'track' as such, they have to comply with R&R around sound levels due to the local council running the show, hence the low levels.

My 16VT has a SS cat back with the cat in place and it passes ok.
