We also want to reiterate PIR’s sound requirements.  Track policy and wording in the PIR permit is that ALL User Groups must provide a person to monitor sound requirements for their event.

If you do not have a person, you must say so on your Event Request form and one will be provided for you at an additional fee beyond base rent.

Remember, sound maximum is 102.9 dBA on the PIR meter.  Vehicles are black flagged at 103 dBA.

See all sound requirements at these links:  http://portlandraceway.com/?/about/policies and http://portlandraceway.com/?/about/noise_information

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
