Loud, still very loud

There, fixed.

Didn't need fixing. People need to take personal responsibility, or fuck off.

Same thing happened at the Classic meet at Puke in Feb, Council measured 'somewhere' on the track, a list was posted up and the ones that were over 95 Db were given the opportunity to reduce the noise, most complied, lots grumbled, some had to pack up.
Apparently some bikes went better ..... there was steel wool picked up off the track at the end of the meet.....
Testing can be a bit variable depending on wind, low cloud etc....but the Council I have been told will shut the meeting down.

But for those that either don't know they are too loud or are too stupid or ignorant to do anything about it, the organisers must take charge don't you think?
In the past at Mt Welli, sometimes a noise meter was used in machine scrutineering. Too loud, fix it or fuck off until it is fixed.

dont think people have to be to nasty over it . we need a meter on had and any new comers get tested and if to loud ,told to get it fixed of the next meet . maybe a good idea if some guys carry muffers you can sell that you know will fix it for the next meeting . but guess if you turn up again and done nothing about it then come down hard on them

Yep that is a good policy.

Been tried year in and year out with the NI series. Until people were told to fix the prob or F-off no one made any effort and it looks like some people are still not listening. That's what ruins it for everyone and puts the organisers in a nasty position come race day...... Guess Steve is saying enough is enough now!

If that is the case then the offenders need to be sent home. As long as it is done fairly and consistantly and the testing is also consistant I don't see this as a nasty position for the organisers.

dont know whats going to happen at manfeild ? was told its going to be 85 db ! which is 10 lease than kart tracks. l sore reading and most 4 stroke are only around 1 db under the 95 . hope l read that wrong for everyone's sake

**Grumph** · 3rd December 2012, 15:03

Doesn't surprise me - the place has been getting progressively more built up around since I first went there.

Talk to your speedway cam customers about tight noise regs - 92DB with a TQ or similar is easy to achieve.

Is that written somewhere? If so it should be discussed now as there will be a lot of people traveling and to be told to go home would not be nice for them.

There was talk of a Manfield day that was going to be that 'quiet', but was a previous date. I don't know if this NI round is also to this level.

There are only so many "Loud' days allowed for the track so when they get used up there are the quiet days left. Presumably training road vehicles would be no drama on these days.
