2010 Rule changes posted

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Here's a rule update I got form DW this morning.  I put it on the home page - and the machine stumped me on how to break the two paragraphs apart (there) so I'm putting it here the better way.

Correction to 2010 rulebook Now reads: 3.A.2 Driver’s Helmet: All drivers/riders shall wear a full-face helmet with face shield. A Snell Foundation tag reading SA2000 or M2000 or later is required. Snell Foundation 2005 or later certification will be required on all car and motorcycle streamliner helmets beginning on January 1, 2011. No open face helmets will be allowed. Helmets will be visually inspected at least once each year. Helmets shall be undamaged and in serviceable condition. Eyeglasses worn under the helmet shall be shatterproof. All cars and motorcycle streamliners require SA rated helmets.



  Should read: 3.A.2 Driver’s Helmet: All drivers/riders shall wear a full-face helmet with face shield. A Snell Foundation tag reading SA2000 or M2000 or later is required. Snell Foundation SA2005 or later certification will be required on all car and motorcycle streamliner helmets beginning on January 1, 2011. No open face helmets will be allowed. Helmets will be visually inspected at least once each year. Helmets shall be undamaged and in serviceable condition. Eyeglasses worn under the helmet shall be shatterproof. STRIKE OUT THIS LINE:  "All cars and motorcycle streamliners require SA rated helmets."

Thanks Jon. I just noticed that I had posted this at the the bottom of page 2 also.

Regarding HNRS. A friend (of a friend) whom is not computer savvy hasn't run since 2007 and wasn't sure if he needed a HNRS system this year. I said I'd ask. It's not really a "new" car. Wayno

Wayne,

Best to clear that question through Lee Kennedy, techchaircars@scta-bni.org.

Very cool.   

While it doesn't affect me, it gives those who currently run M2000/M2005 in a car and need to buy an SA helmet, another 5 years life since the SA2010's aren't released yet.
