Hey Guys,

If you've always wanted to drive Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca but were afraid your Viper would not pass the normally strict sound limits, this is the event to make. This Speed Ventures weekend features a 105 DB sound limit for this Friday, Saturday, Sunday event only. Even Vipers with headers should "pass sound" as long as you have mufflers. Having cats would make your Viper even quieter. If you have straight pipes without cats or mufflers, you probably won't pass.

I drove Laguna Seca last year in my stock exhaust 2009 ACR and had no issues with their normal 92 DB sound limit. If you are OE, you will be fine.

We'll be running with Speed Ventures and I've asked Aaron (the owner) to give us a special heads up before registration opens as it will sell out very fast. You can go to their website at: www.speedventures.com for more info on driving with them, but this special event has not been posted as I write this and may not be posted for some time.

PUT this weekend in your schedule.

Please respond here and I'll keep a list of drivers posted on our local website so I can help let you know when sign ups are open.

FYI, I normally drive Friday and Saturday, then enjoy a full day in the beautiful Monterey area eating, visiting the local wineries and just being a tourist. Cathy loved Monterey last year!

See you at the track,

Dan

I saw "The Line" this morning too!

I'm in, Dan. And I also prefer tracking Friday/Saturday. Should be a great weekend, but it will fill up IMMEDIATELY... Seca HPDE days @ 105 dB are so rare.

Hope to see a bunch of snakes there!

Dan, what is your fastest lap at LS?

My goal for my second trip to LS this June would be a 1:35 "best lap" in my Viper. I think I can do this with the increased sound limit and will be happy if I do. The first time out, I always lifted and short shifted past the sound station as I did not want to get booted out, so lap times weren't as good as they could have been.

I bought a Play station 3, driving chair with pedals and Gran Tourismo 4 or 5 (can't remember) driving game last year and learned the track a bit on it before going. It was helpful but the "real thing" with all of the elevations and walls took a bit more courage than the game.....there's no reset button!

See you at the track,

Dan

Thanks x100 for the heads-up, Dan! I'm registered for Friday & Saturday. It'll be soooo nice to not have to worry about sound!
