So I really know how to party these days... 11:00 New Years Eve and my wife and daughter have just abandoned me for the evening, and I find myself looking for something to do to accompany the Barrett-Jackson Auction. Got it - out in the garage, I find my 2008 GCR and the homologation forms for my recent F1000 conversion.
Some of you more astute types, might be saying "Huh? Didn't you race at the ARRC?" And, yes, I did under a two race waiver. Now it is time to get the paperwork legal for the 2008 season.
The former owner of the car lost the log book and homologation certificate, and the SCCA has presented me with two options:
1) Pay $200 for a 'Replacement' certificate.
2) Apply for a new certificate for $75.
So unless someone out there in ApexSpeed land can convince me otherwise, a new certificate seems to be the way to go. John Bauer at SCCA sent me the forms and tells me that I can more or less e-mail the whole thing in to him with digital photos.
I have three pages of info to fill out, but only the second page contains any measurements or technical data (This is where I need help)....
Specifically I am looking for validation of my numbers for:
Chassis:
Wheelbase:
Front Track:
Rear Track:
Rollcage:
Material Specifications (SAE, etc.):
Main Hoop:______________________ Wall Thickness:_________________________
Front Hoop: _____________________ Wall Thickness: ________________________
Braces: _________________________ Wall Thickness: ________________________
Fuel Cell:
(I could use a good picture of the ATL label from a late model (1998 up) Van Diemen).
Any other notes or advice. I am finding this hard to do with no existing Log Book in hand to refer to. Maybe I should just suck it up and pay the $200???
Happy New Year to all,
Sean
