Really? Guess I just assumed that especially in Stock class a muffler
would be required. We have had that requirement here for *many* years.


I see it now - "adequate mufflers".


Who would ever have thought that the word adequate would be ........
'inadequate'  :-)

Given the status of lot availability these days (harder to get), seems
out of synch that SCCA does not have a Solo 2 noise limit.

Heck, wouldn't even take a new page, just rewrite that paragraph to
include XXdb's maximum at any site. As it is now there is ample room for
a great variance in application of that nonspecific standard.

Talk about an idea whose time has come.

Thanks,
