Watkins Glen Info please

At the Glen on which side do they measure sound (i.e. driver's left or driver's right)?

At Watkins Glen, sound is measured on DL opposite Station 4 at the top of the Esses. Sound control is in effect for all SCCA races at The Glen.

okay, just making sure that it defaulted to the GCR limit... at NH the limit is 99 for some freaking reason! :( my car averages 101 I think...

Thanks Dave!


We were good at WGI last year, but was curious by how much... Our's is the loudest slow car out there, you can hear it all the way to the bus stop from pit lane!

103 db is the GCR mandated limit.

The GCR specifies 103 db as the default maximum for all events - that is, unless modified (lowered) by the supplemental regulations for the event.

It is a good idea to check the supps, particularly on your first visit to a track, to see what the local sound standard is.

New Hampshire has a maximum of 99db in their supps because it is mandated by NHMS in accordance with the track agreement with its neighbors. AFAIK all lower sound standards are a result of agreements / mandates from the local communities.

Don't need quarters at the glen, just turn the knob and it will work.
P.s. the showers are on the outfield of the track. If you are heading out towards the entrance, turn right after the tunnel and left at the first intersection. Drive approximately 1 mile and they are on the right in a little out building....bring flip flops
Also showers towards the boot go under track like you are headed to Gate 6 they are on left.:eclipsee_steering:

The little brown building on the left I assume?


When I meant there was no db limit it was kind of a joke...if your louder than 103 db and get black flagged at wgi thenyour car is clearly too loud or your exhaust has fallen off.
