With the recent announcements made by the Alberta government, the executive is preparing to launch the SASC season in late June. This will begin with a double header weekend at Aidrie, as per the schedule below. Since the border remains closed for most car travel (to SCCA events), we will look to add additional dates in July and September.

https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/southern-alberta-solosport-club-sasc-membership-983462Sound PolicyWe 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-rules1. 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.

Tech & Helmet InspectionAll vehicles will be checked by the Tech Steward or designate before they are allowed to compete, once a vehicle passes tech inspection a sticker is affixed to the inside of the windshield allowing the vehicle to compete for the duration of the 2021 season.

• No excessive wheel play
• A valid helmet (a sticker will be affixed to the helmet after inspection, sticker is valid for the duration of the 2021 season)
