Wakefield Park run under CAMS rules regarding noise emissions. It is measured/read from the control tower based on a sensor being placed somewhere (?) within the the straight and is based on cars running wide open...or at full noise if you'll pardon the pun.

While this measure is in place, vary rarely have they ever had to enforce this rule...They run sports sedans meetings and tractor pulls at WP. Surely a 5million HP methonal burning tractor can't be under 95dba?

As QR was running under CAMS for the SMCS a few weeks ago and no one was pinged for noise...does that mean we (everyone who attended that event) can assume we are OK for WP....

Its going to be a looong way to go to be turned around!

And if we are pinged....does that mean 110dba gets punted and 97dba doesn't....? I am doubtful my car would meet 95dba Lol......and even more doubtful many street registered cars will either!!!!

I guess as the saying goes..."he who assumes......"
