Thunder Hill is pretty much no noise limit as it is out of town about 6 miles and in the low desert hills. One of my friends races there and we used to be able to hear his car when he was behind the hills. Doug is correct again. Call the tracks that you want to run on and ask them about any noise limits. Also ask about the inspection process. If you just plan to run open track events, you may not have to have all of the stuff you will if you want to get your SCCA license for example. Open track at Thunder Hill basically consists of having to have a 3 point roll bar at minimum, and the brakes and other safety items be good. And they do check the tires for wear. But you don't have to have the full roll cage and fire suppression system. And at their High Performance driving schools, all you need is the roll bar, good brakes and tires, and a safe gas cap. Oh, also helmets and depending on the track, maybe fireproof shoes and gloves and they don't want nylon pants. But they will accept just a fabric shirt and pants for the schools with a helmet and good shoes, not necessarily fireproof type.
