We wanted to give everyone a heads up to some safety issues that have occurred in the past and that will be checked during tech inspection rigorously during events this year.
- All vehicles must have all the bodywork in place (bumpers, doors, etc.) and attached safely (dzus fasteners, bolts, screws,etc.) no plastic zip ties at all.
- All vehicles must have proper vehicle insurance (the only exception to this requirement is that if the vehicle is not registered for the street (it of course can't be driven to Cohen on the street if it isn't) and/or is a "True Trailer Queen" RACECAR).
- Third, we will be following SCCA's 2010 sound limits at all our solo and drift events for this year at Cohen. The SCCA limit is at 100 dBs. Currently this will be the respected limit. We are considering lowering the limit to 98 dBs as the SCCA sound limit in the rulebooks is for an airport site, while we have people living right across the street from us at Cohen Stadium. As an example: Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA has a 93 db sound limit. All vehicles must have quiet mufflers and/or resonators in place at all times, including turbocharged vehicles. The lowering of the limit will be discussed during our February Members meeting which is at Jaxon's on the West Side the first Monday of every month at 6:30pm.
- We will be checking all safety belts, aftermarket seats and their installations according to the current SCCA GCR and/or Solo rulebook.
