Sound Policy
We have a strict sound policy; The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be placed 3-4 feet above ground level, positioned perpendicular to vehicle direction of travel. Measurement will be taken at a minimum of 1 sound station but usually 2, rules apply for both stations.

If a vehicle registers a reading between 91.0-92.9dB the driver(s) will be given a courtesy warning that they are near the limit.

If a vehicle registers a reading at 93.0dB or greater the driver must make a mechanical change to the vehicle (ex. install a turn-down1, install a silencer, close an exhaust valve(s)2 etc.), the mechanical change must be shown to and accepted by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member prior to the next run. A “mechanical delay” is permissible to make this change. If during the next run the driver(s) registers a second reading at 93.0dB or greater that vehicle will not be allowed to continue running (for both drivers in case of a two driver car).

Vehicles that register below the 92.9dB maximum in the measured section(s) of the course but are found to be excessively loud (eg. exhaust backfire, tire squeal etc.) in other sections of the course may also not be allowed to continue running if so deemed by the Event Chair or other SASC Executive member.

Please note that this also applies to showroom stock vehicles, we are aware that there are a very small handful of unmodified cars (ex. Porsche 911 GT3 and Ford Mustang 350R) that can exceed the 92.9dB maximum, these vehicles must still adhere to the sound policy. 

Drivers of vehicles that blow over within their first two runs will receive their money back should they be unable to make a successful mechanical change and not able to continue their runs in a different vehicle. If the vehicle blows over after the first two runs refunds will not be issued.

Our sound policy is based on the SCCA’s which can be found in Appendix 1 of the rules located here: https://www.scca.com/pages/solo-cars-and-rules

1. Turndowns can only be installed pointing directly upwards, downwards, or rearwards, pointing the turndown 90° away from the sound meter is not allowed.
2. Exhaust valves that are adjustable electronically via the push of a button inside the vehicle are acceptable.

SASC Schools / SASC Winter Driving Schools - Ghost Reservoir Venue Lost
« on: December 05, 2017, 08:39:53 AM »
The SASC is unable to secure use of the Ghost Reservoir for the 2018 Winter Schools. TranslAlta holds title to the reservoir (including the submerged lands) and they feel that the risks associated with our ice driving activities are too high and therefore are not allowing us to continue our schools on their lands.

If folks have other suggestions for potential locations to host these schools please let us know.

Announcements / SASC AGM – Sunday, November 26th @ Noon
« on: September 27, 2017, 02:06:09 PM »
We’re planning to have this year’s AGM on Sunday, November 26th @ Noon at Speeders in the NE. With 136 club members this year and our bylaws requiring a minimum 20% representation at the AGM we need 28 people at the bare minimum to attend. Your attendance is very much appreciated and helps shape the club for the future. There are many important topics to discuss and vote on and the AGM is the venue to accomplish this.

Free lunch will be provided and we will also have a draw for prizes.

If you cannot attend please PM or email me so I can send you a copy of our Proxy form to nominate a member that is attending to vote on your behalf.

I would also like to encourage others to get involved with the club in either an executive capacity or steward capacity. The folks in the president, solo director and secretary positions have agreed to stay on for 2018 however if someone would like to try their hand at one of those executive positions it’s possible. We will be looking for a new Treasurer. The official positions are as follows:

President (executive)
Solo 2 Director (executive) 
Treasurer (executive) 
Secretary (executive) 

Tech Steward
Safety / Sound Steward
Equipment Steward
Novice Steward
Grid / Workers Steward
Registration / Waivers Steward

There are also other folks who don’t hold an official position but are instrumental to the success of this club so getting involved is easy if you’re looking to do so in a more informal way.

An email to confirm attendance will follow in the near future.

General Discussion / Sound Meters
« on: August 28, 2017, 06:37:20 AM »
The club invested in two additional sound meter's, one of which being a costlier, supposedly high performance one as we weren't sure we could trust the results from our original one. We set them all up side by side yesterday At Fort Macleod. Dan tells me that all are reading almost exactly the same. And yesterday was a great day for testing as there was virtually no wind.

SASC Events / July 2nd - Gate Workers Needed
« on: July 01, 2017, 10:22:58 AM »
All,

To help things run smooth in the morning we're looking for 2 people to help us out and work the gate between 7:15-9:30am.

These two people will make sure that drivers and spectators coming in sign the waiver, get a course map and know where to grid/park and make sure they go to register right away. We're expecting a large turnout tomorrow 90+ drivers so we need to be organized right off the hop.

With two people manning the gate the two folks can switch out and take turns walking the course.

But here's the best part, if you work the gate in the morning you're done working for the day.  :D
