I was on it in my avatar car many years ago with a group of other Chevys during the lunch break at the vintage races when Chevy was the featured marque. Our laps were at limited speeds but even so I got the giggles through the corkscrew. I'm pretty sure at full speed the giggles disappear. 
If you ever get a chance to run on it, do it!

DH,
That came out great- and nice laps too! I had no idea that you'd been to LS. My Dad's house is about 3 miles from the front gate, so I've been there a lot over the years.
So, how did you attach the Go-Pro? I couldn't see a way to use the hinged pieces and suction cup to make it work on the steep angle of the glass.

I just took one of the supplied bases that have mounting adhesive and oriented it right behind the RV mirror. It is permanently there. Takes 10 seconds to moung the camera to it. No suction cup. You cant' even see the mounting bracket from the drivers postition. I have pics of it somewhere that I posted when I got the camera.

Ridiculous.I was there. Your car looked good
That was the first time running at a Porsche Club event. First time with my new Z out .With that being said,I also ran into some of the same problems of other ppl not pointing me by. Then I get accused for it when traffic occurs. Never had these problems before running at other track events by other clubs/organization.
Yeah the sound restrictions suck. That's why I just leave all my cars stock.

Interesting. I've run 'Seca 4-5 times in my stock 2007 Z and never had a problem. I've even had the butterfly's open the entire time, with no issues.

You are very lucky. I got black flag with flaps closed later in the day as I start to pick up speed through T5. It has to do with your engine rev, position on the track at T5 and tire noise if you run over the berm.

The 914 in my video was driven by a Grand Am pro driver for testing. I did not talk to him but very unsafe driving in a DE event - passing people on the right coming down crockscrew without point by is flat out dangerous and could easily cause a wreck.

My first day, no black flag. The very next day, 2 black flags

You must be faster up T5 the second day. This quick fix should solve the problem

Buddy of mine in his blue Porsche spyder send me video of my Z on the track. I made a split screen movie shown below. This Z06 look super stable under hard acceleration and at fast braking zone on T2

You were in stock mode so the flaps are open north 3500 RPM. Like you said, once you pick up speed through T5 you will get nail for sound

I would think that using the solenoid bypass per the OP should solve the noise level problem and seems like a real easy "at the track" technique, just having the right wire to do the bypass.
