You actually need to check with each track/company as they all test differently!

+1 on what Hammy said, apparently Sillystone use whatever method they feel like on a particular day, Have seen forum posts of bikes having passed at Cadwell with 102db but failing 2 days later at Snett with 109db.

Always warming your bike up fully can reduce readings quite a bit, now that you have a meter it would be worth experimenting to see what works best, you could try taking measurements from different positions and angles with the bike at different temps, if you are close to any limits then even the weather conditions and the location of the test could make the difference of passing or failing
