914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn.  Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598  |
Heard a rumor Securing a battery with the stock clip and bolt to a stock battery tray welded to the inner fender well would not be adequate and a metal strap over the battery would be required. Is this so?
Also I heard cast aluminum wheels were not acceptable because of a higher rate of failure. WE need to know if changes will have to be made. Hate to drive all the way down and have to watch. Besides you guys need to see the show I can put on. I can be entertaining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Dave |

Hi Dave,
I tech occasionally for GGR events (which the WCC will be running with for the 914club Auto-X). Cast wheels are okay. You need in no particular order: *Battery cannot be lose. Must have the stock hold down or better. Duct tape not okay. *Seat belts *Tires cannot show cords *No gross fluid leaks (dirty engines and road grime okay). Basically we check to see that the brake fluid and engine/tranny fluid are not pouring out of the car. *Tight wheel bearings *No loose body or mechanical pieces that will fly off and kill a course worker. For personal protection you just need a snell 95 helmet or a motorcyle helmet. It can be open or closed faced. You can also borrow one at the event if you don't want to pack one. Hope that helps! Bill P. |
