Rules are up.

http://www.clubloose.com/clubloose/2010rules.pdf

Things are a little more serious this year with rules. So don't show up at the first event with stuff that obviously doesn't meet the rules and think we'll let you drive.

Everything is easy and it's mostly for safety.

Harnesses are a serious issue this year with the state police. So make sure everything is up to spec with yours.

And remember, just because your car will meet Group A or Group B rules, does not guarantee that you will be in that group.

So print it out, tape it to your car and check it off. If you have any issues, ask us, we're here to help. So if you have something that you aren't sure about or need something cleared up, get in touch with us and we'll see what we can do.

Update:

Alright, so Matt and I talked to a couple of the shops that help us out and they're going to be offering a pre-season inspection for you guys.

They will check over everything on the rules and throw the car up on the lift and check underneath. Basically a full check over of the car both to make sure your car will pass tech and also to make sure everything else is in good shape.

Cost is $45.

The shops doing this for us are:
R/T Tuning - 215-855-5565 - www.rttuning.com
MA Motorsports - 410.633.1571 - www.mamsparts.com
JD Motorsports - 973.344.2886 - www.jdmotorsportsinc.com

All these guys will be able to get the inspection done and help you if there is anything wrong with the car that could be a problem. They will also give you a pre-inspection approval which will make getting through tech the first time a lot easier.

"Windshield, rear window and fixed side windows must be present. Door windows must be operational if
installed."

Fixed side windows aren't door windows right? Any problems with a lexan windshield? Any problems with a panel built between the B-pillars with a lexan window so i can avoid running the heavy hatch+glass? So i can keep completely stock metal doors but i'm allowed to remove windows, regulators, misc window hardware, crank, tracks?

"Heat shield required around the brake and clutch master cylinders for any cars with the exhaust side of
the engine on the same side as the driver. OE heatshield is acceptable."

So a normal S-chassis with a KA will fail this part of tech? Or is this directed to turbo applications?

I printed it out, tomorrow i'll tape it to the car. Such a GREAT idea.

Fixed side windows are like the little triangle windows on the 240. Door windows are the windows in the door.

I don't know about Lexan front windshields. Rear or side are alright though.

If you want to run something like the BN ugly hatch thing, I don't care. If you make something it needs to be solid and not a flimsy piece of shit.

Doors need to keep all the metal, but you can remove the window stuff.

The heat shield rule is more directed at turbo cars. But stock KA's have a heat shield over the exhaust manifold. So just put it back on. It comes on the car for a reason.

coilovers not needed for C group? (im getting them just not sure as to if itll be by first event or not, lost my job)

passenger side window must work aswell? crank window fine?

would a drivers side slightly rotted rocker panel fail inspection?(i jacked entire drivers side of car up about 5 inches ooff ground and there was no give in the rusted/rotted area so structure is still there)

if batery is located in trunk and there is a sheet metal barrier, between the trunk and drivers compartment and trunk, with wire wholes in it will it need to be sealed.

are head lights required to work? and if so are highbeams fine?

"If battery is located in driver's compartment, battery must be sealed and non-venting. Non-sealed
batteries are allowed in driver's compartment if in a fully sealed box, properly mounted and vented outside
the car."

- What if the battery is in the trunk and the battery being used is a non ventilated battery ?

"Heat shield required around the brake and clutch master cylinders for any cars with the exhaust side of
the engine on the same side as the driver. OE heatshield is acceptable."

- Heat shield must be present even if we are running a stock bottom mount turbo?

Somewhere that you can reach while strapped in.

Definitely not on the a-pillar.

Floor right in front of the seat is good.
On the center console somewhere.

Just sit in the seat, and look at different places and see if you can reach them with your seat belt/harness on.
