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.

What's been missed? I think I have caught them all. We do not have 2020 ASN rules because they do not exist. We will follow 2019 rules with classing from SCCA.

The pedantic response would be...

"•   A valid helmet (a sticker will be affixed to the helmet after inspection, sticker is valid for the duration of the 2019 season"

Some schedule updates.

1) Fort MacLeod dates are 100% confirmed
2) Had to move Airdrie event from end of August to end of September, requested by the site owner.
3) Currently working through schedule changes with Westerner due to site availability.

Hope to have the Westerner dates resolved in the next week or two.

More schedule changes, lots has changed since this was last updated.

1. We will be revising our dates with Fort Macleod and Airdrie in the coming weeks, we do not see issue, but we only knew we could go this past week
2. The schedule is a bit more compressed, with some breaks here and there.
3. We have assumed Packwood will not be possible for our membership, in addition we had to put an event immediately after US Nationals
4. There will be no events at the Westerner this year
5. Event prices have been raised slightly from 2019, mainly due to the extra equipment we will need to meet provincial regulations on Covid-19

Registration should start coming available in the next few days on the first event, and then once we have firmed up the other dates soon after on those.

On MSReg the August 16 event in Airdrie says capped at 60 participants and others go on a wait list.....the entry list indicates 80 registered.  Is it ACTUALLY capped?

Asking for a friend  :D

Disregard, answer received - loooong wait list!
