Memo To: OffRoad Riding Associations, Media, Industry and Aftermarket Companies,
OffRoad Parks and Promoters of OffRoad Racing events.
From: Motopark www.motoparkracing.com
We are writing to inform you of new noise limits that Motopark, Chatsworth Ontario, Canada, will be implementing. These limits will be in effect for any Sanctioning Body holding events at Motopark as well as attendees of our Motocross Academy, Summer Camps, Practice riders and users of our various tracks & trails.
We will conduct sound tests this summer and effective with the start of the 2007 season we are limiting noise levels to 96 db. This is the guideline established by the FIM (2006 level is 98 db) who seem to be taking the lead in reducing the noise level on OffRoad competition motorcycles.
The guidelines for testing and levels can be found at www.fim.ch under Motocross Rules and Regulations.
Motopark would like to acknowledge the work of Justin Moore of Ignition Products, Ajax, Ontario and Barry Heatherington of SJG Fourwinds Motocross Park located near Port Perry, Ontario who have done extensive testing on Ignition Products soon to be released “dB DAWG” muffler plug which will help Motopark attain its goal of reduced sound levels.
Motopark is taking this position re decibel levels as a pro-active measure designed to help create a more positive public response to Off Road Riding Areas throughout North America.
