And despite putting down a "respectable" time, the fact remains that it's a purpose-built race car that's slower than my daily driver.

And the turbo is effectively a muffler, which explains why that one makes at least tolerable noise levels. I guess I misread one of the times (probably the 9.10) as a 10.x, my bad. I was doing my best to ignore their cars.

In the end, I'd have zero issues with that group if they'd leave the brown car and the noisy pit bikes/atvs/etc at home and make normal amounts of noise like everyone else.

So you'd wanna tell Brent Rau to go home if he showed up (the most amazing drag car ever), since his car is loud.:jackoff:

I agree with spazz about those NA rotaries. So insanely loud for such meh times ran.

The only time i saw people plugging their ears was when those cars were rolling up to the line.

Top fuel cars are loud, sure! They also trap over 300mph.

The NA rotaries in question were trapping ~113mph and destroying ears.

Just my opinion, but i wouldn't shed a tear if they didnt come back.

I also wouldn't shed a tear if they were crushed, I've seen it ever since i've seen those things.

Even the 4-wheeler those guys were driving around was stupid loud and sounded like shit. Its loud AND sounds like shit, i think if it was just loud it wouldn't be bad.

You've obviously never heard this car. The brown one is just the most obnoxious sounding thing ever. I'm sure the guys are cool as hell and real stand-up peeps, but they need a different exhaust or something on that thing, it just sounds like a cat in a blender. Well, half-way in a blender. Seriously awful.

Guessing not much has changed since I took this video 2 years ago? I actually have another video where the thing dies at the line and every spectator in the place starts clapping and cheering.

No I would not. The difference is that Rau is fast as shit and his car has a genuine reason to be that loud. That rotary wouldn't run perceptibly slower if they had enough decency and consideration for others to put a $40 muffler on it.

Puerto Rico must have a steep embargo on mufflers.

I heard his car last year, and he was parked about 30 feet away from me at grove creek this year. It's annoying, but it's a track car.

They sound like loppy chain saws/weed whips. to a rotary fan, they sound awesome.... to others they sound like crap.

They are definitely stand up guys. The owner of the white car does a lot of work on my cars. I really trust him with anything I own. He assembled the motor in my Z, as well as my buddy's G35 (twin turbo setups).

I just think it's dumb people are complaining about loud cars at a race track.... regardless of how fast or slow they are. Anything can be fast, just about how much money you are willing to spend. They have car cars that run in the 8's and they have cars in the 12's and 13's. so if the 8 second car was the loudest one, it would be OK?

like I stated before, lighten up and let's all have a good time

We get it, you really like to defend your buddies slowish SUPER LOUD track cars. You've got your opinion and some of us dont share it, deal with it.

The same could be said about the people complaining...deal with it.

It's a race track, its a race car (well kinda, its slow, lol) so who gives a shit how loud it is. Bring ear plugs next time I guess :)

The guy in the brown car damn near blew my ear drum out, classy dude. :(

Two years ago, putting by in the pits, gets right next to me exhaust on the side and blips the throttle. Sent me reeling and he was grinning. Douche bag right there.

It's a race track, there will be loud cars but whoever was in the car that day can diaf.

Was it really that loud? Maybe if I heard this thing I would hate it too. I've heard some loud cars though haha.

Are you honestly commenting on something you didn't even hear firsthand?

Wow.

Some rotarys sound awesome with a muffler and with out. But that thing sounds like crap. Amd the car is a little louder then it should. Its loud like its a 8 sec car that runs 13s.
