[F500] Any road racers use mufflers?

[Gebhardt, Robert (R.)]

I know you're not saying I'm under weight!!!!!
 
I was just thinking about that brake on the way in to work this morning. I'd still like it. I'll give you a call on my lunch. 
 
Thank You

Bob if anything could be illegal on your ride its probably the driver! (GRIN)
 
Hey give me a shout! I have some stuff you might want and do you still want the shear/brake/slip roll? If not let me know I have a few people who would like it! 
 
Thanks!
 
Jerry

I just looked at a picture of my car. I think I'd be close with the
silencer. That's still not a very nice thing to do. Who are you gonna get
rear ended by in Solo? That's the cool thing about the Waterford guys.
Nobody is intentionally illegal. We're all there to have fun.

    At the SCCA Solo 2 nationals we had two competitors disqualified 
because their exhaust was more than 24" past the rear axle (they were 
about 2 1/2" longer than the max). The reason they were long was because 
they had mufflers, which the protest commitee reasoned was part of the 
exhaust. Mufflers are not required, BTW. The cars involved have Rotax 
motors with Aaen pipes and mufflers. They do not have a custom exhaust.

If you ever have to use a muffler at a track to make the sound limits is 
the 24" rule superceeded, or are allowances made for the muffler?

Thanks
