All drag strips should have a muffler rule or at least a sound decibel limit. We live in a GREEN world, like it or not. The less noise we make the more the tree huggers will look the other way.
Fontana knew they had a sound issue with the neighbors yet the choice was made to race Top Dragster at the Jegs Sports national on Monday because of Sundays rain. The loudest class of all on Monday and several blocks away is a grammer school. Great planning!!! Because of that well thought out mistake, we have the only Los Angeles area 1/4 mile drag strip on hold. It has been closed to bracket racing since the beginning of the summer but yet open to "street legals" with mufflers. I only hope 2012 is a better year for the local racers. |

I once heard a statement that Ontario Motor Speedway cost $12million to build......but they spent $25 million to tear it down!!! What a great facility that was. I don't know if those numbers are correct but it wouldn't surprise me.
For our team, the mufflers are coming off the shelf so we can enjoy Fontana even if only a few dates per year. With the loss of the divisional in Bakersfield we are going to spend some more on diesel but I'll be danged if we are going to let stupid politics curtail our racing plans......not until they pry the transbrake button out of my cold dead hands!!!! Can I get a hoo rah!!! |
