At T-Hill the sound meter is about 50 yards up the main straight from T-15 in the little building next to the fence in the pits. I believe what was happening to me in the Lotus was hitting the rev limiter in 3rd and the pop from the limiter spiked the meter. The motor/exhaust is quiet, add the wind noise from the open cockpit, and the motor pulls right through the limiter it's tough to gauge your shift point. A shift light would be handy in that little go kart.
