If you pass you can go back out on the track. If you fail, your session is done but it doesn't count against you since it was a sound test.
My suggestion for a first timer who thinks they might be over sound is to just lift between 5-6 for most of your first session. Probably just getting used to the track anyways. Then when you have 5-10 min left in your session, pull into the hot pits and ask for a sound check. That way if you fail, you don't lose much track time.

Got it, thanks for explaining. Makes sense, and a good strategy.
Are they testing each car during a session, EVERY time they go through this section of the track? Is there a dude literally monitoring DB's for every car that passes the entire run session and then radioing the folks running the track with cars that are failing? |
Yeah?!?! This sounds like a pretty ridiculous situation. Still wouldn't keep me away though
