7. Open exhausts are not permitted. Owners of modified cars should have silencers and be below the allowed maximum

noise level. (92DB)

Calabogie Motorsports Park has come up with a sound protocol using guidelines to clarify and simplify this

procedure for suitable and accurate sound management that will be consistent and acceptable and will ensure our

compliance at our receptors.

Screening Test - After a brief visual muffler check, a stationary test is undertaken. Sound levels

will be measured 15 feet in front and behind the vehicle while the engine is revved at the

maximum allowable rpm or the red line of the tachometer. The average should be no more than

100 dbA with no single reading over 104 dbA.

Pass-by Test - With the vehicle under full acceleration on the track, a reading will be taken from

50 feet. The maximum level allowed is 92 dbA. This level and standard is the most commonly

used in North America and Europe and is where the entire industry is headed. Tests are valid for

9 months unless modifications to vehicle are made.

Cars and motorcycles that do not meet the noise criteria in the pass-by test will be black flagged and not be allowed

to run until modifications have been made and a re-test performed to ensure compliance with the guidelines. It is the

driver's responsibility to ensure their vehicle meets the noise restrictions that CMP has in place.

Liquor Store

LCBO says they have one in Calabogie but haven’t found it yet.

Extreme Caution!!!!!!!

When turning off of Hwy 417 onto Calabogie Road Hwy 508, be very careful of your speed until you get to

the track gate. This section is a popular hangout for the OPP (Police) and due to the beautiful scenery with

the rolling hills, there is a tendency to “let the car breathe”. This track is not popular with some of the locals

and they are pressuring the police to ticket. I’d like to remind everyone to be good corporate citizens and

obey all speeds. The speeds are being enforced with zeal. (as well as radar)

TECH INSPECTION
