    Was going to do oulton on 26th but the price is extortionate for this time of year. So possibly doing blyton on 27th oct. Bedford on 11th nov and oulton on 27th nov or 4th december. Got pulled off in donington last time for driveby, they've become so strict lately so not gonna book there until i know my latest db

    A stock car, I assume an S14, setting off a noise board at Bedford?

    I can't see that somehow man. What was the score?

    I have 2 screamers but people tell me they can't hear them outside the car (you sure as **** can inside) Marshall's said it was exhaust noise but no more clarification than that, my customers e36 got black flagged too and that really is quiet.
    I can't remember what the drive by is but 98db rings a bell

    Yep funnily enough I got the noise board twice as they must have forgotten I got it the first time but moving forward I can't see how I can make the car quieter

    Another big thumbs down for Bedford here, I was right on the edge of the static noise test and got black flagged after just 1 lap. Miserable bastards wouldn't let me back out when I offers to turn the boost down either. Most expensive lap of my life!

    I might be going to Snetterton with moon face Dave on the 4th Nov too

    Thinking bout not booking bedford then. My driveby at donington was 100.5. With a 98db decibel limit. I have no major issues with the static but when my vtec cuts in it can be loud. Looks like blyton and oulton are the friendliest driveby of 105. Whats bedfords?

    With all due respect, Bedford make absolutely and completely clear at the beginning of the day that if you get a Black Flag there are no circumstances that you will be allowed back out. I would go so far as to say they spend too long saying you won't get another chance. And unless we want another Mallory Park scenario, that's how it has to be.

    If you're already on the limit of the track at static then you've got no hope on a drive by. Most of Bedfords statics are 101dB, so your car must be loud. That's not their fault, you need another silencer. I have three silencers in my car and the only time I've set off their noise board was when M200 and I were having fun in proximity.

    In my opinion a 1 strike policy is still pretty harsh, especially if you can demonstrate a step change such as fititng a bung. I see your point wiht the mallory issue though.

    It might be harsh in any opinion A, but repeatedly infringing on the agreement will get it shut down. And Palmer Sport make a minter out of that venue so that's really where it ends.
