| Re Castle Combe and the noise...
I've spoken to new era's technical guy and its just possible we may be in for a bit of a surprise.
As we know they have a strict noise rule at Castle and there have been bikes fail there even on standard cans.
This is what he said :
"105 dB(a) is ok for racing but is the absolute limit which the bike will have to pass at Castle Combe before it goes out. (100% of the bikes are noise tested there, generally only a sample at other circuits) The problem can be that 105 cans are ok when new but some of the absorbent material is lost with time and gains carbon from excess fuel, so the noise level creeps up."
I'm going to get my bike tested at Cadwells meeting seeing as i have 105db Sils but they are not brand new. Subject to that test i'll have to put in plans to take other cans - but then how can we ensure we are all going to pass when some road legal ones dont pass either ?
Also if we put restricted cans on - how we going to get the bikes running ok?
Advice from those who know please? |
