Pembrey General Information / Novice Info

[Alan PBRTD]

From our terms and conditions / general info :

The noise limit at Pembrey for Phil Bevan Trackdays is 105 DB.

You will be noise tested before going on circuit and there will be random tests during the day. The actual measurement of the noise is carried out by the Pembrey staff -we, as TDO's do not have any influence / control over this. They tell us who's passed and failed. The ACU ( and therefore their rule book ) do not have any juristicion at trackday events - we are under the control of the circuit.

Random noise tests are also carried out during the day - if it's found out that you have ''modified'' your machine thus producing more noise you will be asked to leave the circuit immediatley.

If your machine fails the noise test it is up to you to modify it and then get it retested.

If you have any concerns over the noise level of your machine - get a ''DB killer'' type device fitted before the event or fit the standard silencers.

Should your machine fail the noise test and you are unable to modify it enough to pass the test the machine will not be allowed on track.

There are no refunds offered to riders who fail this test.

Machines can not be tested before 9.00am therefore you are advised to carry out any modifications before you arrive at the circuit. We'd rather you be out on track rather than sat in the paddock.....

IMPORTANT

Due to circumstances behond our control, as they say, we will not have any spares / tyre support on Friday / Saturday

Our regular supplier has been let down big style and is unable to make the event.

Phil's spent most of today trying to sort out a replacement but as of yet no luck.

We are trying to collect a limited supply of DB killers - but I know you won't need them as you've already sorted it - and desert spoons to change tyres.

DO NOT rely on us having DB killers available - get it sorted before you arrive.

Apologies

Alan
