I've never heard of a db-check at tracks here, and there's some insanely loud cars in the upper run groups at some of our DEs. A couple are just straight up tube-frame custom race cars that look like they belong in a NASCAR event and sound about the same, too.
Because the multi million dollar home owners have a louder voice than the track fans. The county has a strange db limit regulation, I do not know or understand. It is strictly enforced. Many of the cars have LS pipes, which are angled away from the sound booth on turns 5/6 uphill straight.

Our club last year got three 92 db days and they were much cheaper by $10,000 - $15,000 than this years 105 db days. $280 vs $170 although a big difference, made no difference in my attendance. Sell out at all events. It is a great track.

The club has been offered some 90 db days and rejected them as too low for club members to make. I wanted to find out where I was if we did take a 90db day and I came in at 85 db. Now I know I can go. Or screw with test pipes.
