June 17th - C5G goes to Byron

[Bubbles]

John (Robert's SA who was at RA with us) ran his truck and a customer's FI Titan... all they asked him for was a jacket and helmet... he didnt have the jacket so he went to a total stranger asked to borrow it to show tech, did so and was cleared.

so i wouldnt say they are really all that crazy strict like the rumors suggest....

they just asked me what i expected to run... i said 13's and he asked what i had done... i told him... kinda... and that was that... i was teched in without a restrction on the glass

John and I have a couple jackets that we use on the bikes if you need to borrow.

I believe you have to be in the 10's for jacket.

Most of the rules I've seen, even with Cam5Fest3.. Any car with a non-OEM blower or nitrous is required to have a jacket in addition to the usual requirements for the time range the car is running.

Now, whether or not that's enforced is a different matter.

i think this means us non-FI peeps dont need a driveshaft loop???

For cars with driveshafts that contain universal joints:
For all full bodied and open bodied cars running between 7.50 (*4.50) and 13.99 (*8.59) in place of a crossmember located behind but within 6" of the center of the front universal joint: A front driveshaft loop is required on all cars, except vehicles running 11.49 (*7.35) seconds or slower equipped with street tires. See class requirements.

Full bodied cars 7.49 (*4.49) seconds and quicker with the OEM floor retained (i.e. OEM floor may be modified according to class requirements for transmission removal but must be intact from 6"
behind the center of the front universal joint rearward): A front driveshaft loop is required. See class requirements.

Full bodied cars 7.49 (*4.49) seconds and quicker with the OEM floor removed/replaced: Each end of the driveshaft must have a round 360-degree driveshaft loop within 6 inches of the U-joint and a driveshaft tube is also required. See class requirements.

Open bodied cars 7.49 (*4.49) seconds and quicker where the driveshaft passes any part of the driver’s body: Each end of driveshaft must have a round 360-degree driveshaft loop within 6 inches of U-joint and a driveshaft tube is also required. The driveshaft tube must extend the full length of the portion of the driveshaft that passes any portion of the driver’s body or extend to within 6" of the centerline of the rear U-joint. For center steer cars with the driver seated above the driveshaft in lieu of a driveshaft tube a plate above the driveshaft of minimum thickness .120-inch steel or titanium with a minimum of four attachment points to the chassis, using either minimum 5/16 SAE Grade 8 bolts, welded, or 1/4-inch push/pull pins may be used. The plate must be at least as wide as the seat. See class requirements.

For all cars with driveshafts that do not contain universal joints but pass any part of the driver’s body: Each end of driveshaft must have a full 360-degree cover of minimum 1/16-inch steel or 1/8-inch aluminum. Rear cover must surround the coupler. Front cover must surround the driveshaft from the back of the reverser to the end of the splicer sleeve in the area of the driver’s legs. All covers must be securely mounted to frame, suitable crossmember, reverser, or third member. See class requirements.

DRIVESHAFT LOOP DEFINITION: 360 degrees of enclosure, 1/4-inch minimum thickness and 2 inches wide, or 7/8-inch x .065-inch welded steel tubing, securely mounted to the frame or frame structure where available (or to the OEM floor or rocker box where a frame does not exist) and located within 6 inches of the front or rear universal joint for support of the driveshaft in event of U-joint failure.

I'll be watching my boys solo that weekend so racing would be difficult.

Neighbor, I have my helmet and I do have an SFI jacket somewhere in the garage. Holla atcha boy.

One time Ranger was at GLD, he was helping a guy who reportedly had the first ZR1 in Chicago race his car. He was the real deal I used to think he was over-hyped but then I realized this retired guy who looked like Fraser's dad kicked ass.

"except vehicles running 11.49 (*7.35) seconds or slower equipped with street tires"
