At the 2012 convention autocross, to take place at the Stafford Motor Speedway on Wednesday, July 25, strict noise restrictions will be in place.
Stafford Motor Speedway is an historic race track is located in what is today a residential area, and for this reason mufflers will be required for this event. The requirements are the same as those used for many years at the NECC’s time trial events at Connecticut’s Lime Rock Park: A maximum sound level of 88dB. This limit is easily attained by virtually every street-driven Corvair, and race cars can meet this limit with readily-available performance mufflers.
Don’t risk being unable to compete, make sure that your car is equipped with adequate mufflers.
From Sturbridge it is a short trip southwest on I-84 to reach Stafford Motor Speedway. The speedway is a half-mile paved oval with a smaller inner oval and several infield roads and pit lanes, all of which we will utilize for our event. The start/ finish gates and the lane changes are on the main straight right in front of the grandstands.
To help you prepare for this event and to speed your way through tech inspection, review the autocross rules that will be included in your packet from registration, or better yet, review them in advance right here on the CORSA website.
Trophies for the autocross will be awarded during the Lakeside Picnic at the Sturbridge Host Hotel on Thursday night.
