How many local districts out there currently test sound at MX events?
What are your plans for the new requirements coming in for 2011?
There are very few pre-2011 MX bikes that will meet the new standards set by the AMA. With the cost of a new bike, there are more and more used bikes at our local tracks.
In the past 8 to 10 years D23 in Minnesota has been testing a certain number of bikes at each event. If someone didn't meet the guideline with in reason, we would offer solutions and options for them to meet the db limits. With the lower limits coming in now, the only option for most will be a new $750 "or more" silencer.
Do you send them home?
Do you stop sound testing?
Do you follow guidelines used by the larger Am Nats?
This topic has come up a number of times over the years and then dies off. I've asked DC through this board, and directly through RX ILL, about his direction for the LL series and so on, but can't seem to get anything of substance. Maybe there are changes in 2011, but would have no way of knowing that currently.
