[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 1067541, member: 16119"] The AMA ... They have to balance on a very thin tightrope. Get the word out, but don't take the chance of pissing off any of the mfg's or aftermarket mfg's. Self-Interest DOES come in to play, as politically incorrect as that statement is. Example you ask? The AMA sound tests. They know DAMN GOOD AND WELL that the Big 4 (word is NOT KTM) program their ignition maps to pass the tests... "X" RPMS, no load = retarded timing = less noise. Why not test the noise track-side? Because that's under load and the bikes (all of them) are hitting 105-107+ dB's. The whole "we limit dB to 102 , 99, 96..." is BS. Parents worried about ear plugs at AMA pro races is bogus, it doesn't need to be that way. Cut them all back to TRUE 92 dB and the racing will be JUST AS GOOD. If the AMA REALLY wanted to get it done? 1) New rule. 2007: 90 dB. 2) AMA Sanctioned / Insured events? 90dB. (prior year bikes are grand- fathered in at 99 dB.) They'll NEVER do it. [/QUOTE]
