Was wondering when the 2011 rule book will be available . I had the bug before but now....it's bad . Still not alot of money so I'll just run in the street class and build something that might be competitive some day. Looking for a class that intrests me . Things like what the definition of a roadster or convert, moving fire walls and such is allowed and whether it move you into another class, according to the book . I just have too many questions to ask here.If it will be awhile I'd be interested inpurchasing a 2010 to tide me over since I'm just in the dreaming stages right now.But I've about gotten my 26x36 barn cleaned out so......

Re: ECTA Rule book question
Yes I like them too and they are lighter . They are wider which might be a problem in the LSR gig and somewhere along the line I think the rear needs converted to a solid axle ( I'll probably never be that fast ) but for autocrossing and open track days the vette would have to be far better.Comment

Re: ECTA Rule book question
The 2011 rule books will not be available until January ... I hope, but here are the changes for 2011 as outlined in the 2010 book:
Beginning2011, all cars over 200 will have an engineered and tested SFI spec 38.1 type head and neck restraint system.
AKA-Hans Devise
Beginning 2011, all cars over 175 mph will be required to have a seat or roll cage structure to provide restriction to lateral head movement of less than 2.0" of total side to side inclusive of structure deflection.
AKA- if I can move it with applied body force, it fails!
Helmets-2005 and 2010 Snell 2000 are now outdated
Seat belts...good for 5 years only.
We are waiting to see what changes the SCTA pass and will move forward to get the rule books to press.
Hope this helps,

Re: ECTA Rule book question
First off, Hans is a brand name, one of many who make head & neck restraint systems. Many use the Hans term like society does with the brand name Zerox when describing a copy machine!
I prefer the Brand 'Hans' for many reasons. One of them is the fact that there is nothing running down your back that requires an insert pad that moves you forward in the seat. It also requires straps around your chest that really need to be tight to work properly. A woman would find it very uncomfortable to wear properly. I hear complains that the Hans system gets caught on the roll bar when exiting the car. That is easily fixed with a simple shield over the inside of the bars. DO not duck tape it to the helmet...this will cause spinal injury in a crash.
Hans comes in four lay-back angles, from 10 thru 40 degrees and different neck sizes. You can get one with quick release or quick clips, fixed or sliding tethers. The now offer a less expensive injected molded version, it is a pound or so heavier that way. Prices start at $545.
But Safety is priceless!!! Ask Danny Thompson about his crash...he knows!!!Comment
