It's the challenge
Count me IN. Being retired - got nothin' else to do - I'll make most all of the dates you all choose. NOTE: MRLS 90db is do-able with stock mufflers IF you attach tips and side turn-outs. AV8 Supercars at Sonoma Raceway made 'em for my car. They are interchangeable with straight back tips. I'm running (new) Ford GT Mufflers part number: Ford Racing M-5230-GTB (Mustang GT Muffler Kit).

I might be able to make Aug 25th at Sonoma. It's 50/50. The whole mid-to-late August is iffy for me, and it's hot and sunny CA then anywho. Sept 16-17 with HOD at Thunderhill 3 mile looks great to me. Double the track time (two days), it's a weekend and things are cheaper around Willows, as compared with Monterey and Sonoma.

If Sonoma is the preferred venue, then May 22-23 or Oct 9 with HOD.

Great. The August 25th is a go but that doesn't mean we can't do more.
 
Hello all,

I met Rick last week and talked wheels, tires and general automotive enjoyment. I am going to attend the August 25th Sonoma weekend.

I had a 90 Mustang that was full Griggs years ago but moved to motorcycles for a few years. My fiance is not digging the idea of another crotch rocket, so I have slowly been modifying my 2016 GT.

Regards,

Jeff
 
I just registered for the event ! Sonoma Aug 25.... and while I was at it, I also registered for MRLS on Aug 30. Group C for both. Planning my summer and jumping into the track schedule early. Anyone else ???

I'm still trying to figure out what I'll do. I think I might have to try out mattlqx's method with the plugs/stoppers. How did they work out for you @mattlqx ?

They worked for me, but the sound limit was higher there than Laguna and the measured reading there was higher than Laguna's 92db. But obviously environmental factors will differ. I have a little more detail here: #99
