It sounds like you have belts that have both SFI and FIA tags on them - this is not uncommon. SFI tags have only the "made on" date. Belts that have only SFI tags expire in the second full year after...
I sent you the April 2007 version - less than 5MB

The first manufacturer has been put on the SCCA list of alternative fuel cell suppliers. You can see the official list at...
The deal came together very recently (discussions started at PRI earlier this month). The language and the figure showing the new sticker went into the new GCR literally a few days before it was...
The new GCR is at http://cms.scca.com/documents/Club%20Forms/2010%20Tech%20Forms/2010%20GCR-January.pdf
The Sporting Regulations (front of the book) have been rewritten and reorganized. For those...
Actually, most of the categories/classes where FSMs are required now state that non-print versions are acceptable. (If we've missed some, let us know - after the 2010 GCR becomes available.)
I...
There will be printed copies available for those who need them (tech, stewards, etc.) into the future. The primary advantages to the downloadable version is that it costs nothing other than staff...

FYI, prior to 2004, the fee for a ruling was $650. In 2004 it was lowered to $250 to encourage people to use the process. In 2008, when the process was changed to allow the member to choose...
Leaving aside your questionable arithmetic, the reason for the change is that almost everyone who has availed themselves of the 8.1.4 process has gone on to the second stage because if the first...
Sorry to be a pain Josh, but in looking at your update, I realize that NCF belongs with FF and CC and CFC belong with FC.

Jeff:
You didn't look very hard: http://www.scca.com/event.aspx?hub=1&event=13506 and click on the "2009 National Class Participation" link.
Also, you all should note that cars in CF/CFF (Club...
The simple answer is "no". Until the last couple of years, the participation numbers (entries) in regional races were not tracked. If you go to http://www.scca.com/contentpage.aspx?content=40 and go...
Actually the numbers published in SportsCar are National participation only.
Are you asking for all Prod/GT numbers or just regional?
Dave
National entries have been tracked for many years. The Regional numbers started being tracked - by class, not totals - in 2007. That's why there are no numbers available for earlier years. As I said,...
The reason you haven't seen the numbers is that until recently, they haven't been tracked. At the end of 2007, an attempt was made to capture as much of this information as possible (I caution you...
The requirement for clear windows has been in place for a long, long time. What caused the clarification (the part in italics) to be added is that there are some new cars that are being delivered...
Jeff:
That is no longer the case. At the COA's own urging, 8.4.5.B was added to the GCR.
B. At no time shall the Court of Appeals act as a first court.
Dave
In the Touring classes where Turbos are allowed (T2, T3), that's almost what we do. A TIR (turbo inlet restrictor) of a given size is specified to balance their performance against the non-turbo...
Dick:
Why are you surprised? We are in violent agreement here.
Dave
No, it isn't debatable. While a fuel cell is not required in IT, if you are going to use one, it must meet the requirements of 9.3.26. That includes 9.3.26.4 - rotary molded cells.
Dave
You need to be sure that the cells you are looking at meet the GCR requirements. See section 9.3.26. I don't think you will find any $250 cells that meet the requirements.
Dave
Since there is nowhere that a copy of your logbook exists, there is no "procedure". You will need to have a new logbook issued. Because the inspector who issues it has no idea what notations might...
While it is a good idea to get the logbook before your first event (just in case the inspector finds something you missed), it is not required. You can take the car to your first event and get it...
Go to http://www.scca.com/divisions.aspx?div=ne where you will find links to the NEDIV region web sites. Most of the racing regions have records for their "home" tracks somewhere on their web sites....
