Tech Inspections

Any Motorsports organization has the right to refuse entry for any vehicle that would, in the organizations opinion, be incapable of negotiating the course safely. In rejecting such an entry the committee must give the entrant immediate notification along with the option of securing a suitable vehicle.

Any vehicle failing to meet the standards required (by the organization holding the event) shall be barred from participation or be disqualified. The entrant of any vehicle initially failing to meet the requirements prescribed by the organization shall be allowed to remedy any deficiency and to resubmit the vehicle for inspection as the committee may direct.

(The list below applies to most Motorsports, but not all). The inspection shall be conducted in accordance with standards prescribed by the organization. As a requirement, the following vehicle equipment shall be in proper operating order:

  • Headlights (high and low beams) and parking lights
  • Taillights and stoplights
  • Horn, windshield wipers and directional signals
  • Rear-view mirror
  • Foot brakes and parking brake
  • Tires (inspected for condition of sidewalls as well as tread)

  • Competition class equipment limitations
  • First aid kit (Johnson & Johnson Auto First Aid Kit or equivalent)
  • Fire extinguisher of at least 2 B:C rating
  • Tow hook, rope or chain
  • Emergency warning triangles or road flares
  • Car numbers should be applied in spots which are most visible to event works. Suggested areas being: Behind the B-pillar (glass) on the doors; front hood, rear bumpers/trunk. It is not necessary for competitors to remove any decals previously applied to side windows. Commercial advertising should be in good taste.
