displacement Pre-Inspection
« on: April 06, 2017, 01:43:08 PM »
I know it is possible to get an engine displacement predetermined and pre-certified --any suggestions?

Is there any provision for "distant" displacement pre-certification (I'm on the east coast)?

Oops... it's a moot point, since certification isn't needed unless a record is set. :x

How exactly is displacement determined? Does the engine have to come apart for any other measurements if you set a record at El Mirage or Bonneville?

This is true Jack, but depending on your engine configuration certification of a record may require pulling the head for direct measurement of B&S which of course is a major PITA. Dan has a tricky device that can work with central plug heads and maybe others and in the past I was able to pump my engine though it is right at the borderline and so might be questioned. My current configuration would not allow pumping it. (DOHC like yours).

Besides if you are not planning on setting a record why go? ok, there are exceptions to that questions but: Think positive.  :cheers:

John,

The engine certification procedures are covered in Section 1.H. All sections of the rule book require equal attention.

I wonder how many read the SCTA-BNI web site. There is a lot of racer information that includes the operating procedures for the Dry lakes and for the salt/ check  it out.

Read, Glen....surely you speak in jest.... People don't read anymore it takes too much valuable time. They may ask someone "what does it say" but reading and writing is so passé. Ask some of the LSR builders and they don't even have a rulebook let a lone take the time to read it...

JD;
I don't think anybody new to LSR and wanting to build his or her own car would proceed without reading a rule book. If so, not anybody you would want in this sport. Before and during my roadster build I wore a rule book out. Read everything pertaining to rules, safety, class information, etc. over and over again. In addition, I asked LSR veterans probably a million questions gaining as much knowledge as I could about participating in this sport.
Regarding displacement check, I've never been in a position to worry about the procedures involved in record certification. But that is why a lot of us are here. Working hard and doing what we can to improve your car/bike to maybe some day put yourself in tech inspection for just that.

jww36 --

I disagree.  I've queried car (and bike) builders who've entered their vehicles and waited to be told what class they were in.  Usually, if they're lucky, they may be allowed to run Time Only.

For instance, there's the case of a very beautiful professionally-built 6-figure roadster that showed up one year and didn't fit any roadster category.  Yes, it does happen.
