I was talking to someone at the swap meet who was saying that a voluntary regulation of noise at drag race tracks was coming into force next year, with a compulsory requirement to run mufflers thereafter.

Please does anyone have any information on this??

Any sportsman class Pete (super mod/super pro et down to sportsman et) don't know about RWYB but it'll probably follow soon after,

Thanks Mark, any dates for this and do you know if they will be measuring noise at the track or just a visual check that you have mufflers installed....

I can see the sales of Flowmasters rocketing

2010 optional, 2011 mandatory, it isnt set in stone yet, think it gets voted on at the end of the month, dont know how they'll police it yet,

Voted by whom?

no uncorked headers , thats well out of order finest sound know to man ! a V8 with open headers , well is for me

so who decided all this

trying to figure that one out ourselves Dunc, it isn't legislation, they are on about bringing it in before it is forced on us, it is already in force in NDRS (sweden etc)

gona cause a lot of aggro if this kicks off , dont see the point, drag strips am normally well away from residential areas , to many folk in this world that like to change things when they just fine as they are !!!

I would like to see 8 flowmasters on a top fueler or 1 on the jet car come to that.
What a load of crap

Welcome to the warm and fuzzy world of political correctness.

I think the rationale is "its better to do it to yourself before someone does it to you, because when they do it to you, they don't use the K-Y".

Maybe Turbos will become more popular as they such out the exhaust energy.....

I think the answer is "The headers will no longer exit under your front fenders by the front tyres....." Lots of re-design coming up

Seeing as most dragstrips are old runways,how about mufflers on all the planes taking off at airports? The world is run by brainless twats.
