They both have petitions out now and who do you think is going to look better here? Id bet the “guy that built a go-kart track for his son” petition wins big.

There are professional level events, yes. Most people race either for fun or to get their kids into it as a stepping stone to other racing. But there are sanctioned events even in the US that 1) have a prize purse 2) often attract professional drivers (stock car, dirt, whatever) 3) have scouts looking for talent.

“Who cares, if you can’t enjoy life doing what you like without the neighbors being jerks?”

Now that’s a neighbourhood after my own heart.  Well, provided they don’t have a problem with my medicinal plants.

So what you’re saying is, when I win the lottery, I’ll have to buy all the surrounding neighbour’s homes before I build a racetrack in my backyard. Thanks for the heads up. The budget is ballooning already....

Which is another reason why I love my neighborhood. It’s a simple middle class area that specifically voted down a HOA decades ago and still votes it down because the entire place is infested with weird-os.

Most, if not all, have recommendations from the manufacturer in the manual, as well as reminders within the charging software re: how to maintain battery health. As you’ve suggested, it’s usually as simple as setting max charge to 80% and not dropping below 20%. People like to make things seem difficult.

I ASSURE you he had it in sport, just because.

No, they shouldn’t. What about a stock exhaust that has a leak? Are the cops going to start putting these cars on lifts and only writing tickets if they can diagnose a repair? This is the kind of thing that only works in the imagination. In real life local noise ordinances will remain a thing

That is not how it works. States and local communities can be more strict, but not less strict, than federal law. Federal law only supersedes if it more strict.

As usual, one asshole ruins it for the rest of us who know how to behave like normal people.

The fix is simple... Laguna pipes.

The states are not allowed to make laws that are less restrictive than the Federal law; but they are allowed to make laws that are more restrictive. That’s how California can have its own emissions requirements (CARB). Unfortunately this results in a patchwork of laws that vary by state; making regulatory compliance a…

CARB would like a word.  

Just so the whole thing is legible, and not reduced to gibberish by Kinja’s inability to handle links properly:

they do. kuniskis or whatever said several times that the demon and whatnot had exhausts as loud as he could get them and still pass federal limits. harley makes all their stock bikes under the limit. then sells screaming eagle kits that went way above that. and then they got in trouble for that and stopped selling…

From a NY Post article on the same guy:

I don’t disagree with you, but cities and towns can make their own laws on these things. I assume this is whats happening here.

I think that it is ok for neighborhoods/ cities to want a peaceful environment. I don’t think that “unmodified” vehicles should be exempt from sound enforcement you should be able to short shift/keep the vehicle in a higher gear to keep the RPMs down. There is a difference between driving a loud car and being…
