unxetas Pro Circuit Offline Volvooo! Posts: 272	tech inspection - March driver training? Mar 3^rd, 2011 at 11:30am I remember last year (when I did my driver training) people were getting their cars inspected at the track on the same weekend. Is there a plan to do this again this year? Cheers

Since we are on the topic.........the car should be in "race-ready" condition correct?

My car is street legal, I drive to/from the track minus numbers and race tires, so does it matter what type of tires are on the vehicle at time of inspection, or does it just matter that there are tires? Wink

Cheers,

Jay

We (TECH) are specifically interested in the safety equipment. That is we want to see your driver's suit, helmet, HANS device, etc. We also will want to ensure that the rollcage structurre meets the requirements for the class. And, the fire extinguisher/suppression system is properly installed (if required).

We won't need to see your race wheels and tires, so you can leave those at home.

Thanks

Mike

The Cacc scrutineers will be available on the Sunday for Annual Tech from 1 - 4 PM. We will also be able to issue new log books. The cars need to be ready to race. A few items that will be we will be looking at are:
Safety equipment installed, pictures in the Log Book, two passenger side intrusion bars installed in the roll cage (required for all closed wheel cars in 2011) and the general preparation of the car regarding the class it will run in. Ask questions before you bring the car to the track.

I'm still planning to tech the car at the driver training weekend, but I'm now working 12-14 hour days and starting to worry that I won't have time to finish the small little things that need finished before I can tech the car. Argh.

How hectic do things get on Friday before the first race? Any other options for getting the car checked out?

I really want to get it over and done with on the 27th, just checking.

By the way - I bought my car last year, came with the previous owners' logbooks. Reading through them, it seems that when it changed hands in 2005, the new owner was issued a new logbook. Is that something he might have asked for, or should I, as a new owner, get a new one as well?

Thanks
