Hi folks. I got a chance to run Laguna Seca with my completely stock 2020 GT500 on a 105db day. Unfortunately, I was registering 108db so I did have to lift at a few places to make sure I don't blow sound.

pretty cool. but what do you mean by a 105db day? and that you had to lift at a few places? I don't understand how that matters in a track lol

Apparently, many race tracks have instituted noise limits over the years, to placate other area residents.

There was a db limit of 105 for all cars at this event. The track officials said that stock 2020 GT500s were metering at 106-108 which would black flag you and if you get 3 black flags for the day, you are booted out. I lifted on a couple of the straightaways to not exceed the dbs were the sound meters were supposedly positioned. Noone knows for sure where but some have educated guesses.

Oh wow that's just dumb. US tracks feel like baby sitting

Excellent video @Ghoust. Always enjoy watching a Shelby at LS. By the way which neighbors are they afraid of pissing off? :facepalm: :headbang:
