Looking at Doing the Glen Race Weekend In September

[23racer]

I would just run ITE and not worry about anything else.

But it sounds like you'll need a log book for the car? Or is SCCA OK with using WC? If not you may want to work on getting that done before the weekend.

Forgive my ignorance of how things work on the detail level in SCCA. In Canada and in other sanctioning bodies where I have raced (EMRA, ICSCC, NASA), they just use the Log Book that the car has with it and fills it in for the event. I have a CASC Log Book and as the old SCCA Pro book has long since dissappeared, I have no SCCA Book any longer.

Can I use the CASC Book or if I need an SCCA Book, how do I get one? In Canada, they will issue one to you at Tech on the race weekend.

Eric, you will need to go through an SCCA technical scrutineering inspection and be issued a SCCA logbook. This can be done on-site at the event, but you risk non-compliance issues if there's anything wrong. Is there any way for you to find someone in your are that can issue an SCCA logbook? At least review all technical safety requirements in the GCR to ensure you're compliant. Some examples include:

- Rollcage design and tubing size
- Seat requirements/mounting
- Harnesses
- Overall safety (wiring protection, firewall holes, protection from fuel cell area, protection of pressurized fluid lines, etc)

Great idea Greg. Our CASC Scrutineer is also a Detroit Region SCCA Scrutineer. I have sent her an e-mail asking if she is in the position to do this tech ahead of time. I believe that the car meets all present SCCA Club standards, but will double check. Only one question on seat mounting. The car doesn't have rear seat support as it would void the FIA certification. I can add one, but it does concern me that doing one thing to meet rules voids another rule requirement. I will ask the scrutineer.

I will send in my VTS, but if I am required to add that much weight I may just decide to run ITE to save a bunch of time and effort for 1 race weekend.

8855-1999 FIA-certified seats do not require a back brace (no date limit), but must be firmly mounted, NOT on sliders. - GA
