Now I' m confused. (not an abnormal situation according to my "friends")
The SVRA Rules and Regs page says that if head lights are removed, a
contoured cover must block the opening. Is this not OK now?, or should we
plan on putting the glass lights back in, so we can tape them over to avoid
glass on the course in case of contact?
Also, in the SR's for group 3, it is stated that cars be prepared to SCCA
standards as of 1967. Also how do we get a copy of preperation guidlines for
specific cars, as the SR's indicate?
I agree adding back the weight sounds like a good solution to the problem. Is
there a way to find how much a specific car should weigh, so we don't show up
excessivly light?
Thanks
