They don't generally ban a car, they tell you what you need to change and expect to see some progress towards compliance. The exceptions are replicas and cars that are just too far over the line, like my TR3. You shouldn't have a problem--or rather I should say the new owner shouldn't<div><br><div><div>On Sep 11, 2008, at 2:36 PM, Norlin Engineering wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div> <div><span class="187212721-11092008"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I just went through the process with SOVREN to run in this year's CRC. Pretty much painless. I picked the most recent GCR although like your car mine is not prepared to a specific year's rules. Mine's current where safety and reliability is concerned, relatively ancient with regards to appearance, suspension and drivetrain. I've also got a gutted interior and they didn't say anything about it. Granted, I did not try to join the organization, and they may be more picky regarding member's cars that are in the points chase. </font></span></div> <div><span class="187212721-11092008"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2"></font></span> </div> <div><span class="187212721-11092008"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Jim</font></span></div> <blockquote dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <div></div> <div class="OutlookMessageHeader" lang="en-us" dir="ltr" align="left"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">-----Original Message-----<br><b>From:</b> fot-bounces@autox.team.net [<a href="mailto:fot-bounces@autox.team.net">mailto:fot-bounces@autox.team.net</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b><a href="mailto:emanteno@comcast.net">emanteno@comcast.net</a><br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, September 10, 2008 7:40 PM<br><b>To:</b> FOT<br><b>Subject:</b> [Fot] SOVREN questions<br><br></font></div> <div>It is starting to look like T A Moser of E. Olympia, WA is a legitimate buyer for my TR4. This evening, I am filling out a SOVREN Car Registration Form. The form asks for "the exact year car is prepared to". I have the 1962 GCR and the 1967 GCR, and it looks like my car is a mix of both sets of rules. What do I put in that space? Also, SOVREN makes a point of stating that "gutted" interiors are not permitted on Production Cars. My car ran in EP in the mid 80's, and the interior is gutted (the car also had flared fenders, but I took those off when I converted the car to vintage. The gutted interior was never an issue with VSCDA or SVRA.</div> <div> </div> <div>Will the new owner have problems getting my car through SOVREN tech inspection?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks for the help,</div> <div> </div> <div>Irv</div></blockquote></div> _______________________________________________<br><a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br><br>Fot mailing list<br>Fot@autox.team.net<br>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/fot<br><br></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(118, 15, 79); font-size: 16px; ">Bill Babcock</span></div><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Babcock & Jenkins</div><div><a href="mailto:Billb@bnj.com">Billb@bnj.com</a></div><div>503.936.7660</div><div><a href="http://www.bnj.com">www.bnj.com</a></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010000">Editor</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010000">Ke Nalu e-Magazine</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010000"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><i>Paddlesurfing's Web Journal</i></span></font></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#010000" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><i><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></i></span></font></div><div><a href="mailto:Bill@kenalu.com">Bill@kenalu.com</a></div><div><a href="http://www.kenalu.com">www.kenalu.com</a></div><div>blog: <a href="http://www.ponohouse.com/ponoblog">www.ponohouse.com/ponoblog</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
