Re: Homologation for Specials

Matt,

I am sure that it is being addressed, but in 2007 TTR, I found one other reference to Homologation:

All Formula and Sports Racing Cars registered after January 1, 1983 are required to be Homologated by SCCA and issued a Certificate of Approval.

Re: Homologation for Specials

Here is some follow up: I spoke with Kevin Derochie at Kirkey Racing Seats about the situation. They do not have an FIA seat, and stated that no US manufacturers do, as it is a European Standard. The interesting thing is that he stated that there is no SFI certification for seats. There is a committ...

Re: Homologation for Specials

Matt, I am copying what I sent to SCCA Time Trial Chair for some board opinions: Is there any update on the seat situation? I just looked at the January Master Tech Bulletin and it is not addressed. I just got in a Kirkey Intermediate Road Race seat, and with the addition of "SFI minimum",...
