I have a sound measuring device too. It's called my ear. Trust me, I know quieter cars that have been black flagged there. Even the Porsche guys I know make custom exhausts to shoot away from the sound meter. I
can barely hear Porsches at WOT.

Someday man... we'll get there.

The new models we were testing did have the mod and they asked us to feather the throttle past the station coming out the fast uphill T-5............gotcha. Only the a few timid riders followed that rule.

Running the track once is worth the hassle. Be prepared for the G-out in turn 6! Check header and oil pan clearance and possibly add bump stops to the suspension for it. I'm guessing base on the bikes that a car plants pretty hard there, maybe someone with Camaro experience there can verify?
Yep, it's such a common trick to aim the exhaust/sound.

Your other warnings are making me a little nervous tho now...
