Tech and Compliance for RA event.
-
DME. If your DME doesn’t have red inspection tape on it, bring the DME to me prior to the start of the Sunday race.
-
Compression. If I’ve never done a compression test on your motor, bring your car to me and pull out #1 plug. Don’t worry about what # you get, we’re just gathering data as to what compression #'s are normal for healthy engines.

Front camber. I’ll probably do this in Impound as we come off of the track. We’re trying to understand if there is a large delta in what camber #'s are achievable on different cars. If everyone is able to get >-3deg, for example, then the playing field is reasonably even. But if there are folks that have <3deg, or had to do something iffy to get >3deg, I want to know about it. If you had to do something kinda illegal to get >3deg pls tell me. I promise that no one will ever know from me.
If there are cars that can’t legally get >-3deg front camber, then we might have to do something about that in the rules in order to level the playing field. So if you had to do something iffy to get decent front camber, it’s in your interest to tell me. Personally, I think that this is an issue that the rules need to address. That is to say, we need to find a way such that everyone can get decent front neg camber. But until we have some camber data, I can’t document that there really is a problem.
