It refers to the minimum surface area and thickness of the restraint (re: padding) behind your helmeted head (not to be confused with a head and neck restraint).

You beat me to it Rick A novice road racing permit is OK as far as your eligibility to compete. As part of applying for a SCCA road racing completion license, part of your application for a novice permit should have included a completed SCCA medical form dated not more than 6 months prior to your ap...

...........What classification does the fire/driving suit need to be for a SCCA event? I am checking out stuff online but see so many different levels, layers, codes etc... Most people wear a one piece, two or three layer suit. There is a minimum standard for a two layer suit and you must wear fire...

I also enjoyed running the expanded circuit. It was faster than what I had anticipated it would be and the layout had a good flow. The only problem area on the new portion was the rough patches that have been mentioned. I adjusted my line to minimize the impact of the rough spots but that obviously ...

It's hard to be so smooth, yet so quick.

Does anyone have a complete list of the radio frequencies used by PHA for the various venues? My wife is visually impaired and likes to listen to what is going on during the events. I usually manage to find them but then forget which ones are which. If someone has a list, I'm going to type them out ...

Morgan makes some good points. Point number nine is especially important in that an event that does not at least break even puts a strain on the host region and organizers and may have to be dropped if not financially viable.

We're 5 days out.
Are there going to be Tech Sheets available on line to download prior to the event????????

[/b]ote="georgebowland"]Nelson, Now there's a brain teaser. At first look, it seems altogether fair, but I'm sure someone will find problems with it. It might be a good way to award the overall championship points, rather than the current system. Sort of a handicapped/PAX method of looking...

Morg,

All I can say is "Yummm"

Happy Birthday Morg!
I'll have Chrissy make a batch of birthday brownies in your honor. I'll let you know how they taste

I agree with Grace.The Shenandoah track is a blast to drive. I have run it in both directions and several differant configurations with FRCCA. There a lot a diffent driving elements and elevation changes included a long straight and sweeping turn. They have excellant facilities including an air cond...
