Yep. They suspend the noise limits for professional racing. Track day bikes have to have stock mufflers on. Not even aftermarket mufflers with noise killing baffle inserted in, but stock mufflers.

VERY ENTERTAINING !!

I had it on in the garage while tuning up the Jeep Cherokee and couldn't stop watching !!

Luckily I had recorded it so the wife and I watched it when we got back from a quick ride after I finished with the Jeep.

I watched it twice and still loved pretty much every minute.

I and the wife both DEFINITELY missed hearing the guy from Speed TV ....that part just wasn't the same.

They get a certain amount of days in a year to be loud.

I hear that some people know where the guy is that checks the sound and you can let off the gas while you go past him...but that does not sound like too much fun.

Casey didn't leave the door open, Rossi repeatedly barged through it like a young fat comic trying to get to a cocaine filled jelly donut.

Quote:
Rossi congratulated Stoner in the cool-off area after the race but got a lecture back on the rough passes. Rossi reportedly smiled and simply said "That's racing, Casey".
