Had we known this, oh say last fall, it could have been a winter project. Some of this is not hard but sending your system off to get a recertification could very well be a major problem in these times. So what is the alternative, buy a new system? Some of us have already committed to race with our home clubs in mid March, then it is a short turn around until Sonoma. Pretty well leaves us in a major bind as far I can tell, not to mention a potential large expense.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We were encouraged to sign up for the K Cup with SVRA, plus Laguna, under the assumption that if our cars were legal in our home clubs they would be allowed to run as is. Dropping this mandatory rule on us at the last minute does not sit well. No one wants to be unsafe, I don’t think the rule is that unreasonable, but the timing to get this done is unreasonable.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ken</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">vfracing--- via Fot</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, February 20, 2024 12:46 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">FOT Triumph</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[Fot] Heads Up!

Furthermore, they must be re-certified every two years.
