Seems there has been alot of autox events that everyone is attending lately. I was wondering how the different regions and clubs conduct the tech inspections and what gets inspected.
My region makes everyone line up in two lines and several guys check tire pressures, torque the wheels to 85 psi, check the Snell label on your helmet and check that there is nothing loose to roll and around in the trunk(s). Then we have a driver's meeting and then we line up again to grid. I personally think this is a little silly and a big waste of time. I would rather have the tech guys come to you and look over the cars where they are parked. I think checking the helmet and the overall condition of the car is all that needs to be done. So my questions are: How and when is the tech inspection done? What gets checked? I know there is no set rules for this but I want to start my club thinking about another procedure. Thanks, Paul |

Our local (no national affiliation) sports-car club really got it's crap together this year.
1) Stop at gate and sign insurance wiavers 2) Pull into the paddock (Tri-City Raceway, W. Richland, WA) 3) Go to registration table and complete entry form/inspection sheet, rungroup and course assignment 4) Pull car into one of two paralel inspection lines in the paved infield 5) Tech inspectors check battery hold-down, throttle return spring, bearing/balljoint play, etc. 6) Inspector marks car, and signs off inspection sheet. 7) Rungroup A cars now pull into grid, Rungroup B cars pull into paddock parking 8) Turn in inspection/registration sheet 9) Walk course 10) Driver meeting 11) Go time. This all works VERY well. They set up the "flow" correctly. You pull in, you do your paperwork, you pull into inspection lines, you pull into grid or padock based on rungroup. It works well because the layout is perfect. There is a flow and all the cars end up where they need to go without any congestion. And it's fast. No wasted time. -Ben M. |
