From the Supp Regs:

b) Maximum Noise limit: 95 DB at 30 metres drive by. When monitored by the MGCCN. and its approved equipment, any car found to exceed the maximum noise emission limit, will be suspended from the event, (the time recorded on that run will be disallowed) No further runs will be permitted until the Chief Scrutineer / Clerk of the Course is satisfied that action has been taken to bring it within the limit.

...But I've not seen them monitor noise, not to say that it couldn't happen.

Cool! Upcoming events at Ringwood:

25th June - next mixed club hillclimb (this Sunday)
30th July - mixed club hillclimb
5-6 August - State Hillclimb round
20th August - Khanacross - can just run the tar sections, uses various sections of the hillclimb track with some extra flags/cones. Good fun, more track time and cheaper than a normal hillclimb...
9th September - Khanacross - as above but a day/night event
30th Sep/1st Oct - Mattara Hillclimb/Tri-challenge hillclimb
12th November - mixed club hillclimb

I intend to run the Tri-Challenge event at Raleigh International Raceway on the 20th of August, so unfortunately will miss that khanacross, but all going well I intend to enter each of the other events. The Tri Challenge is a 4 event series each year between the Newcastle MG Car Club, Tamworth Sporting Car Club, and Kempsey Sporting Car Club - I've already competed in the first 2 events (at Mt Cooperabung (Kempsey) and Oakburn Park (Tamworth)) this year.

Entries are open for the next event (30th July) on CAMS MEE. I'm entered.

Just a reminder, it's next weekend, 30th July. There's also a state round, again at Ringwood, the following weekend, 6th August. I've chucked a wildcard entry in for that too - I'm not entered in the state championship though, so it will depend on entry numbers. Anyone who's interested to come by for a look, feel free to come over and say hello!

Had fun eyeterday, bagged another class win and record.

Best part is that I'm getting a better handle on the car. I had 6 runs, the first was very slippery, but the other 5 were split by just 0.17 seconds... A bit frustrating when you're trying to improve, but a good sign. I came 19th outright (of 58 cars including a number of open wheelers) and was the fastest person running on regular street tyres rather than semis or slicks.
