FF50th @ Road America: Safety Prep, Log Books, Annual Tech

[steve_beeler]

The VSCDA Technical Requirements for Race Cars defines safety preparation, logbook, and annual tech requirements for the FF50th. The document outlines straightforward guidelines for basic vehicle and driver safety: on-board fire extinguishers, master switches, fuel cells, roll hoops, driver restraints, helmets, protective garments, throttle springs, rain lights, catch tanks, the usual stuff. Here is the link:

Logbooks and annual techs are required at VSCDA events. If your car does not have a logbook, you can obtain one from the VSCDA tech inspection team. Annual techs from other racing organizations (VMC member clubs, SCCA, CASC, etc) will be honored. I will be sending out a survey before the event to assess the logbook and annual tech work load. Suffice to say it would be best to have both of those items checked off your do-list before arriving at Road America….

A possible surprise is the requirement for a Car Preparation Sheet. Before an entry will be accepted for a VSCDA events, a car must have an up-to-date CPS on file with the VSCDA office. Here is the link to the one-page form:

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. If I cannot answer your question, I will find the person who can. We don’t need any surprises at registration or tech. :-)

Is this for the 2019 event? How soon do we need to fill out paperwork and apply?

Rob:

This information is indeed ahead of the September 2019 event. I am working with the VSCDA on a early entry process for the FF50th. The goal is to go live early this October and fill the two Formula Ford race groups by year end.

Watch this space for more details.
