I have been looking for information about running at Laguna Seca. I see the Northern California club runs there and would like to know if there will be more than 1 date in 2017 or do you have several run dates. I am in Washington State and that track is in a good location for me. Now that I have a Gen V it seems like tracks are closer because of the way it makes driving long distances a lot easier.

I would like to get any info on upcoming dates where Vipers will be running several cars.

Hi, unfortunately Laguna is dead to me until they hold a high-dB day. I typically get 15 or 20 Vipers on a high-dB day, but I was the ONLY Viper registered for this 92 dB event. Gen V's are around 94 dB, so no one else wanted to go. I have just found out that there are apparently no high-dB days for 2017 either, which totally sucks. The damn enviro-nazi residents near the track are killing this historic track with over-regulation.

For future Viper track days, I'm going to focus on Thunderhill, Buttonwillow and Sonoma. Feel free to PM me any time you'd like, I'll try to join you!

Todd,

Yeah, I looked at their calendar and all restricted, no NASA and Speed Ventures is 92. How can we get into the AMG events????

How did you do the Friday after Thanksgiving??? Any sound issues?? My comp coupe has a very quiet exhaust, I got to believe its only 1-2 db's higher than stock so I'm temped to run the SV event in May/June, but that's a long haul if I get black flagged.

Let me know, thanks, Mike

It is too bad about the noise restrictions at Laguna Seca. I run a stock Gen V, so it looks like that is out. I am looking in to Thunderhill and Sonoma as those are 2 tracks I would like to run. When I decide to run one of them (or both) this year I will post your forum to see if any other Viper people might also be going. Thanks again for the info and I hope to see some of you there.

I know there is a guy who runs a gen V with NCRC at Laguna with the 92db limit. Maybe he lifts, I don't know. Sound level will depend on the air density among other things. Winter would be worse. I am planning to go with BMWCCA in March and Speed Ventures in June. It would be cool to see another viper. :)

The residents that decided to live next to a damn track should have no say about noise. It's like moving next to an airport and complaining about the planes taking off and landing.

That's the way things go these days. Here, someone bought land near a shooting range that had been there since 1967 and immediately tried to get it shut down.

If a stock viper doesn't qualify, I don't know any track specific vehicles of any make that will. At least none of the ones my friends own.
