    As wide as you can on the rims

    Is this one a club exception? I don't recall seeing any mention of this in the SCCA rules, but maybe I overlooked it.

    I was under the impression you can only use diameters that are offered as factory options for the car
    It's in the rulebook:

    13.4 WHEELS
    Any type wheel may be used provided it complies with the following: 2015 SCCA® NAtioNAl Solo® RuleS — 73
    13. Street
    A. It is the same width as standard and as installed it does not have an
    offset more than ±¼” (±6.35mm) from a standard wheel for the car.
    The resultant change in track dimensions is allowed.
    B. Wheel (rim) diameter may be increased or decreased 1” from the
    standard part.

    So, if car comes with 15" stock and 16" optional, you can go to 17" provided you have same width and offset as the stock 15 or optional 16.

    Going with a 140 wear rating will have you wear out the tires just driving to Ft McLeod from Calgary. haha.

    What will the wear rating be for 2015?

    There have been a number of complaints about that Vette, but as of now we have not taken any action. This does not mean that we are going to accept another car that is that loud, but rather we are working on the best way of dealing with the current issue without causing undue hardship to the owner.

    The nice thing is that most manufacturers are coming out with "new" compounds that are as sticky as their 140 treadwear tires but somehow are 200 now...got to love sketchy designations and/or testing!

    With the residence so close I think we should be concerned with noise at Fort MacLeod. It sucks but it sucks even more that we don't have a Calgary Venue because of noise.

    No standardized tire testing means I could go out and make practically an R Comp if I wanted and market it as 200UTG rating :P

    I want to come and plan on either bringing my E92 S/C M3 or my B5 S4..

    The one thing I am worried about is my M3 being too loud.. In the self-declatation form it states that sound levels must be within limits of the event, how loud are these limits?

    Thanks.
    I believe the rules state 96dB @ 20ft to the side at a section of the course where the car is at Wide Open Throttle. Stuart please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The car does have headers but it's certainly not straight piped (factory axle back active exhaust). With the active exhaust valves in the open position (which automatically open and cannot be kept shut past 3600RPM) the exhaust takes a "shortened" path through the mufflers but it is still muffled to some extent.

    As for Castrol I was far from the loudest car then considering the road course is right next to the drag strip and there was a top fuel car there on July 27th

    Still trying to figure out what I could do to quiet it down a bit without having to weld in resonators or add four downward facing tips. I don't know if I'm much louder or even louder at all than the red Corvette though. I'm really curious to see if I'm past the 96dB measurement though.

    And if you sold it in enough quantities and made it available to other competitors it would be legal lol

    If you do can you please also make a 345/30/19

    When your bypass kicks in (out?), your car is much louder than Jay's Corvette, at least to the ears. No idea what a db meter shows.

    I guess I've never heard my own car from outside, I think I'm going to have to get someone to take it for a run while I watch from the sidelines.

    I'm going to see if there is anything I can do to Jerry-Rig those valves to stay closed at all times.

    Are you looking for a volunteer? J/K, I honestly wouldn't know what to do driving a car that actually had torque

    The volume hits when the exhaust is pointing towards the listener. Sounds close to a straigt pipe at that point.

    Is there a fuse you can pull in the circuit?

    If it were that simple I would have done it a long time ago, truth is the valves fail open and rely on engine vacuum to keep them closed.
