I may stay with my cousin if I can get in touch with him tomorrow, if not I'm getting a room tomorrow. he has a 911TT that I was hoping he'd bring out.

I think she's incorrect on the sound level, I'll double check tomorrow. They have a Corvette School at the track with the new Z06's, as well as Porsche Cup cars, Ferrari Challenge cars, and the Radicals that are there as well as the ones that run in the Radical School are by far louder than the Z06's.
I'll double check and post.

So I guess 103db is not that quiet. Here's what Donna Said:
Cyrus,
The sound limit is correct at 103db, as required by SCCA. It is written in
the Country Club contract. The Radicals and the corvettes fall within that
range.
Warm regards, Donna
However, if you don't have any mufflers at all, it may be too loud, even louder than the Challenge cars, so if I were you I would put them back on just to safe.

Update on sessions.....
Hey guys/gals, i got this email from Donna regarding track time/layout we will be running.
Gates will open at 8:00am and close at 4:30pm. I think we will have four run
groups depending on how many people show? Sessions will be 25 minutes and we
will be running on the 3.1 mile track.

Other than those two drop offs, the track is pretty flat, with little visual cues, so you pretty much need to memorize the track as opposed to relying on visual cues to let you know where you are.
This track was designed as a teaching track, so it's more technical. It is definitely one of the more challenging tracks, where there is only a few places where you can relax, other than that mentally you must always be alert or you'll get bit.
So, in a nutshell, I would say this configuration would favor power just a tiny bit, but then again, the Radical puts out only about 200hp and it will whoop any car's but out there because of its handling.
Sorry to ramble, I hope I gave you some insight.
Cyrus
