2020 Rule books
« on: May 10, 2020, 05:52:24 PM »
Hey all,
The 2020 rule books are in the post. I received my copies on Saturday.
There were some new rule book coordinators this year and they did a helluva job! Big thanks to all who chipped in.
Cheers, Mike

Yes , 2020 book arrived in Utah !   little beat up also but the book is fine .
My question is ; page 17 thru 20 is all in bold print , so new rules ? Ok , what about 1.V there has always been a paragraph addressing this , seems to read the same . Is something here I'm not seeing ?    Thanks !

Yeah, it looks like they forgot to turn off the bold font at some point in there.

I've only glanced at it . . .

But my impression is that part of it revolves around fuel specifications without an "Event Gas".  Which may not always be available at Bonneville.

Looking again ? this appears to be the least changed Rule Book in a long time.  But, you'd better pay attention.  The least little thing might sabotage your record certification.

We had it happen to us once.  Not something we didn't comply with, but having the Official add words to the rule in the book.  And have a committee chair back it up when he was quoted the same (modified) rule.  And this was early in the day before serious drinking.  Oh, well.

On a happier note ? I'm looking at the El Mirage D/Blown Fuel Roadster record by Jim Amrheim of Team Fercockta at 223.320.  He's from Highland ? which we always considered a suburb of San Berdoo.  Yes, the record's a little soft ? still over 10 MPH over the E record ? but it's 45 Years Old!   I've enclosed a couple of pix from (probably) 1972.

If I remember correctly (which isn't always that way), they also held the F/Fuel Roadster record for decades with a MoPar Slant-6.  It had fuel injectors with no butterflies.  How'd that work?  I have no idea, but it ran pretty fast.

Mine's been here a few days but like all my snail mail it's spending time in the quarantine bucket before I handle it.

Sid, everclear (190 proof ethanol) drys quickly, sanitizes immediately, and can be put in a small spray bottle for use.  It is my go to hand, mail, grocery and breath sanitizer. 
Just saying  :cheers:
