Dadio Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I moved here from PA and want to start autocrossing with you. I was previously and SCCA member but stopped several years ago. I have a 2020 C8 corvette and want to register for next weeks even but I also have a 1971 Corvette I autocrossed in PA and Ct with side pipes. I recently purchased the quiet mufflers for it but looking to day at registration only the morning groups (A+B) will have soiund testing but both them are full. Is there anyway to bring the corvette early and get it sound tested even though it can only be registered in D? I have 2 sons who would drive that car. Please let me know. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadio Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Oh yeah, will my 2020 corvette need a noise test? is so , that is in the same boat, session d only open one but a+b are only ones with testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 We're still waiting to hear the status of sound tests for this event. We have had another c8 run without issues (that I know of), so I imagine it would be ok, we may have you come in the morning for just sound and then you would have to come back for your afternoon session. I'll pay updates on sound tests for this month when I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadio Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 What about the C3? and if I register and fail the test, is the money refunded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Correct, if you fail sound your entry fee will be refunded. The c3 is hard to say, it depends on how good the mufflers are. We'd have to judge it the day of the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Kemper Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Dadio you might consider placing a free db app on your phone, have a friend stand 50 feet from the street aim phone stationary (don’t follow the car) directly at the car as you drive past at the top (rpm) of second or third (depends on gearing but at around 50-60 mph). That should give you a decent sense of whether the car will be a sound issue at AMP. AMP limit is 96 db. If the exhaust on your 2020 is stock that car should be fine.

SEymann Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ran my C8 at the last event. Sound was not a problem. Handling on the other hand.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi yes I’ll be joining event, and I’m for cal club region. I’m currently registered in group c. Was just placing a comment here to see if I do have to come in morning for sound testing as well. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
