Only thing that caught my eye is that our SA2000 helmets will apparently still be good next year.

Could be a typo?
More importantly, why are you still racing with a SA2000 helmet? :frowning:

Because I like it.

not a typo. there’s a 1yr grace period. i wouldn’t be using a SA2000 helmet. Safety aside, it’s got to reek after 5+ years of usage and I am assuming you picked up your SA2000 right before SA2005 came out :slight_smile:

Ya gotta factor in the probabilities. If I wear my favorite old helmet, I “might” get killed, but I “know for a certainty” that I will look cool.

Is irksome that our rules are taking so long to come out. I’ve a number of projects on hold because of it.

Subject change. There’s a rule that says a Yellow that covers a car stuck off the racing surface can be pulled in. That is to say, the car can be in a fairly dangerous location, but the Yellow gets pulled in after a couple laps. The poor SOB in the car becomes “debris” and hopes for the best. I didn’t know this. I thought that the Yellow would stay out unless the car was in a really really safe location. So Yellow being pulled in would mean hazard is gone. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1575633

“Fairly dangerous” of course is determined by the Flagger and Control.

It might read that way but I have NEVER seen that applied as you describe in ANY race. Typically it frees up a course worker from having to maintain a standing yellow where a car is well off the racing surface or in an impact area.

Nothing in the CCR changed that I saw except for the banning of the 4 point belt for HPDE’s. Hmm, interesting.

EDIT* that thread you posted is halarous! Thanks!! :laugh: :laugh:
