[Fot] Kastner Cup - SVRA will allow exemptions for Fire System

[yellow04]

I had a nice chat with Matt Rose this afternoon, Matt is the Chief 
Steward - West for SVRA. He could not have been more accommodating. I 
was assured that any Triumph that comes to Sonoma with a non-conforming 
fire suppression system will be able to run. He talked to Rob Elson, 
Technical Director for SVRA, and they agreed, we will not have an issue 
with the new fire suppression rules. Matt gave us his cell phone number, 
if anybody has a problem with tech, he wants to know so he can make it 
right. Bottom line, bring a safe car prepared to your home club rules 
and let's put on a great show!

He told me one of his first events as Chief Steward was our Portland 
KCup in 2021, he really enjoyed having us there, and he is looking 
forward to us coming back to one of his events. He went on to say he 
will be Chief Steward for both Sonoma and Laguna Seca, apologized again 
for the last-minute date change for Laguna Seca, (out of their control) 
and said if we have any racers want to run both there is secure storage 
at Sonoma for race rigs, and again, don't worry about fire suppression 
rules for Laguna Seca either.

Our registration numbers could use a boost, guys. If you are planning on 
running, please do so soon!

An additional FYI.  I contacted SVRA and we will be allowed into the 
track on Wed. before the event if you are taking advantage of the Thur. 
test and practice day.  This is at Sonoma and Laguna Seca if you are 
staying for the second set of races.  Ken

Please don't cancel your plans to run the Kastner Cup at Sonoma because

of the recent thread regarding fire suppression systems! I wanted to get

this out there as soon as possible, as you can see by the email below we

have reached out to SVRA and gotten a very favorable response. I am

setting up a phone call with Matt Rose later today to work out the

details.

I am confident the outcome will be if a racer does not run with SVRA on

a regular basis, they will issue a tech sticker with a notation in your

logbook giving you a one-time exemption. If you regularly attend SVRA

events, you will undoubtedly be required to install a fire system that

complies sooner rather than later.

Has anybody planning on running the KCup in Sonoma already run an SVRA

event and claimed their one-time exemption for the fire suppression

system but still not complied? If so, it would be helpful to know who

you are before my chat with Matt. Please email me your details off-list

so we can get in front of this. If nobody falls into this category I

expect my conversation with Matt will go pretty smoothly!

More details as they become available, but the bottom line is don't let

your lack of a complying fire system discourage you from running!

HI Henry,

I have spoken with Rob and this is not set in stone. May I call you

tomorrow to discuss?

The short answer is I can work with your drivers to accept the cars with

hand held fire suppression for this event.

Cheers
