Tech inspection


#1

This is mostly for the newbies. The veterans already know this stuff.

2016 Tech inspection options. Note that you have to hustle this year because the first event is coming sooner than in year’s past.

  1. Take your car to a local shop that does NASA Tech Inspections. http://nasa-se.com/pretech.php If there is a shop in your area that is not on list but you think they are competent to do race tech, have them contact Jim Pantas and maybe they can work it out.

  2. Have me do it at the Jan Roebling event either Friday night or Sat morning. The cost for this will be you bringing chow for a SpecE30 lunch at an event later in the year.

  3. Have NASA do it for $100.

Later edit. The original post said that SA2005 helmets expired at the end of 2015, but Chuck Taylor pointed out that the new NASA CCR says that SA2005 helmets are going to be good until the end of 2016.

The 2016.1 CCR says the following about helmets:

15.17.3 Helmet
… Helmets must be approved by Snell and carry a sticker of Snell SA2005 or newer* …

[color=#ff0000]Note: the new standard of SA2010 and FIA8899-2010 is expected to be implemented as of January 1, 2017.[/color]

(The red text is straight out of the CCR.)
