Annual Inspections
Mar 18^th, 2015 at 4:57am

We will be doing Annual Inspections on the Practice Day. Please ensure you all the correct gear.

SA2005 or better helmet
window net - two years from DOM
seatbelts - SFI - two years DOM, FIA as marked for expiry

Al and I are hoping to be at Mission during the Sunday of the Driver Training weekend and available to perform inspections or answer questions.

Thank you

Posts: 212	Re: Annual Inspections Reply #1 - Mar 30^th, 2015 at 12:17pm Just to clarify, the 2 year rule applies to mesh type window nets that must be SFI approved. I read the rule to say that strap type nets do NOT need to be SFI rated. Is that correct?

Mike - Can I enter my 1973 Atlantic in a regular formula race in CASC or in ICSCC? -IE: It has no front roll hoop, but is legal otherwise and has Conference and SCCA logbooks. Collin

Colin: CASC is gone and replaced by ASN Canada FIA, the Ontario affiliate is called CASC-ON. In BC it's CACC (a much longer name when spelled) which is easier to look up on the internet..

If you enter on a regular race weekend with your Atlantic you'd be racing with the other "open-wheel" cars (FF, FL, FV, and Sportracing) Your car is a Vintage F/A and subsequently doesn't need to have the front roll hoop.

I don't know how the ICSCC rules would treat your car. You should probably check with the SCCBC Conference rep (Michael Lensen?)

Not trying to belabor the point, but I'm referring to the CACC rule that states "A strap-type window net must be fitted such that the driver's arm(s) cannot extend outside the vehicle unintentionally. Mesh type window nets complying with SFI standard 27.1 are permitted."

(Section 20.5 B of the 2015 GCR)

This seems to state that only a mesh type window net requires an SFI rating. There is no mention of any certification required for a strap type window net.

The rule also mentions that the SFI rating expires after 2 years from DOM, but I can't see where a strap type net requires the SFI rating in the first place.

Thanks,
Richard (not wanting to replace a perfectly good strap type window net that has been used for one weekend since new)

Window nets require an SFI certification label marked not more than two (2) years since DOM. That means two (2) years or newer.
