Mallory's rule is 98db and as standard this is usually measured 1m from the car. Last year there was no testing done but it is at your own risk if you enter an overly loud car. No refunds will be provided if the car is tested and fails. :agree:

I ran the cup car last year, it was well over 98DB, I had no problems with it....

I would go as far to say Mallory let us get away with sh*t loads, they are very helpfull, dont mind noise, speed etc... and if they spot anything wrong with your car they will black flag you and point it out to you, and providing you fix it you can carry on out on track. :agree:

All i am saying in the last 2 years I dont know anybody who was tested or was asked to get of track due to noise levels... this year maybe different... who knows.
