REMEMBER TO BRING A COMPLETED TECH SHEETS!IF NOT WE WILL TECH YOU AT THE TRACK! NO WORRIES
 
Great video. Love the gauges and metrics on lower right screen. How did he do that?
 
Cool, so many of the other ones are of the leaning kind (motorcycles)... Hard for me to follow.
 
Ron,

Thanks for posting this video as I was going to try and find one on the internet

Rally Tech Sheet Clarification

Thanks for the head's up Ron! And we do really appreciate all the tutorial efforts you have given us Forum participants over multiple years of rallys.

And I do not mean to pick on you here but with respect to the Pre-Event Inspection Form, some questions (and comments)

1) What PCA Region do we put in and/or why is this on our form?
2) Are you really going to have SIX driver experience classes? What requirements differentiate between the colors so the drivers are able to self-assess?
3) Are you really going to DISALLOW Stormcat or others from using “after market drilled or slotted rotors. (Check 914 rear adjustment)”? Can non OE rotors/brakes be used?
4) Confusing continuous references to 914, 356, 900 series, 944/968. Couldn’t we have a general inspection form for FORD vehicles?
5) Will the requirement “Fluid must have been changed in last 12 months:_____(NO DATES=FAIL)” be enforced? I realize it is good practice yada, yada, but guidance should be provided on what technical aspects are mandatory go/no-go for our track outing.
6) What is the “broomstick” rule the driver must pass?
7) Being “INTERIOR NON-PORSCHE” do FGT vehicles have to use “Schroth Quick Fit, Schroth Rallye, and Schroth AutoControl four (4) point harnesses"?
8) Perhaps for our rally type events, a one-size-fits-all tech form is not the best fit…. If liability is the most critical element, why not just have drivers sign a liability waiver?

Thanks again.
 
9) There was nothing about tech sheets, brake fluid changes, etc. on the Rally registration. I don't want to race. I just want to be able to have some fun without watching the radar detector and looking in my mirror for blue lights. Am I excluded from the track? Help a noob out here pls.
 
NO!

The tech sheet is a helpful guide to look your car over and make sure it's in shape for a road course. Sign the waiver at the track and you're fine. This is not a race event, there is no timing, and the atmosphere is significantly more relaxed than a PCA event for hardcore drivers.
 
Thank you DBK. I will try to keep my slow butt well away from the best lines through the corners. :)
 
Don't worry, there's no passing in the corners anyways, and only with a point-by in the approved areas. :cheers

Hey Indy,

I am not certain as regards #6, but at Disney World you need to be taller than the 'broomstick' to get on the track. Hope this helps! :rofl:rofl

Indy if cobrar was running things, you might need to bring along a saw
 
I know we need a helmet but what about a suit? Since this is New Orleans can I just wear my nomex thong?

Listen,The tech sheet idea is to have you make sure your car is in nice safe running order.
I only used the tech sheet for some guidance .Come have fun !Don't worry!
I just want everyone to have a fun safe time!
We all sign a waiver at the track.
We are going to have 3 run groups.
I am doing the schedule as we speak.

I'll back off at the finish & let Dr Frank win my run group just so he can get the trophy guy Mark!

Oh heavens! Beads and McGowan on Bourban St.
 
I expect Mark to be in rare form!
He really deserves this little vacation!
