[Fot] SVRA Fire System Requirement

[Curt Johnston]

Hello FOT,
 
As many of you have read today, SVRA, the host to the Kastner Cup this year at Sonoma Raceway has adopted a new fire suppression system requirement.  You can find it at this link: SVRA-General-Rules-1_24.pdf https://svra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/SVRA-General-Rules-1_24.pdf
 
Matt Rose, the director of west coast operations for SVRA has written back and said that there is flexibility on these rules.  I wrote and told him that I would survey the systems our FOT drivers have installed now so we get a better understanding of the situation.
 
If you are registered or even thinking about it, could you send me a photo of your fire supression system.  I think this is the best way to get clarification now so we are not hit with surprises upon arrival at the track.  I'd be surprized if we have even one car that meets their new requirements.
 
     Please don't reply to all and bomb the FOT list.  Just send the photo to me at this email:  curt.johnston at comcast.net   mailto:curt.johnston at comcast.net
      
     You can also text me at 707-249-1667. 
 
I'll share the photos with the full KC Race Committee so we have our ducks in order when we respond to SVRA.
 
We will work this out.  I recall in the past we're had to deal with strict tire regulations, but we found a compremise.  Running the Kastner Cup with different sanctioning bodies across the country always seem bring up issues like this.
 
Thanks!
