5. Subject: Rule Change Request [#21]
Name: Mike Spacek
Issue : Over the years while going & working at Bonneville and El Mirage I have noticed the following: Most ALL vehicles competing in the car classes, which report to the impound for record certification, are either pushed, pulled, towed or trailered on an open trailer. That includes almost all of the very hard to transport and hard to prepare vehicles, including: Speed Demon, Turbinator, Vesco, Nish, Ferguson, Target 550, Danny Thompson, Rick Yacoucci etc. etc... But it also includes all other car class vehicles. To my knowledge, there are only one or two vehicles, which transport their car after a Record Certification or Back Up run, in an enclosed trailer. Hidden from everybody’s view. Why?? If the owners and drivers of 30 or 40 feet long Streamliners and Lakesters are able to present their vehicles to the certification officials and all competitors on open trailers and in plain view, why not make this a rule?
Rule Section: 1.G RECORD RUNS: Rule Page #:12
Desired Outcome: Make it FAIR for all vehicles and competitors, competing in Car Classes as described in Section 5, page 55.
Reason for Change: Make it FAIR for all vehicles and competitors, competing in Car Classes as described in Section 5, page 55.
What are the side effects? : One or two vehicle owners will have to design a light open trailer or dolly, like ALL OTHER Competitors already have.
Desired Rulebook Modification: Section 1.G, RECORD RUNS: Page 12 reads as follows: A qualified vehicle shall proceed directly to the designated impound area and report to the official within 1 hour of the time stamp on the timing slip.
Add a New Sentence after above:
All vehicles competing as described in Section 5, Car Classes, are not permitted to be transported in an enclosed trailer or enclosed vehicle to the impound for record certification.
