Ape, I couldn't agree more.
We could so easily receive a lot of hassle from the local people on this, having recently received complaints from the Police. Up until now we could safely say that we weren't responsible for this, but following tonight, that's going to be very difficult.
This is now my local SV meet, it's a great gathering, and I'd be really annoyed if we had to be moved on because of the actions of a few.
Bouncing off the rev limiter is certainly not mechanically sympathetic, and nor is it very pleasant when the backfire is a couple of feet from your ear - thanks!
