Physical for License

Thanks, it's good to know, just... *sigh* I can do it but I sure won't be a happy lab rat.

Be a few years though, the build money is evaporating while I work on this unemployed mechanical engineer thing.

You can have a heart attack and die on the treadmill.  It helps to have a doctor nearby who monitors you.  This is on advice from my late mother (she was a MD), who was careful to check out people destined for a treadmill test.

My jock kid (also a MD) has a room full of professional gym equipment and he and his jockette wife use it every day.  I can't even bring myself to watch them in action - I'm too old for that sort of stuff and would only hurt myself.

How does that apply for us FIA (4 wheels or more) guys. I already hold an aviation class 3 medical and a CDL medical. Will I now need a another
type of physical? My EKG, blood pressure, blood sugar, vision, hearing and those things passed with flying colors. The doctor thought I might
need a psychiatric evaluation but passed me anyway.

My treadmill test is on the 25th of this month.  This evening I will have a couple of beers, a slice of pizza, and a huge bowl of ice cream.  Then it will be time for a quick "get into shape" program.

Had a nuclear stress test last year, and they did have a doctor standing by.  It was a good thing cause when they put the cocktail into my IV, the pulse monitor when apecrap and then stopped, it felt like somebody had put a 2000 pound lead door on top of me.  I figured that this is it, the doctor was pacing back and forth frantically and then it started back up like an old john deer tractor.

Anvil, you are not alone.  Benefit take backs, days off with no pay, wage freeze, etc.  My racing budget is zip...nada... nothing, and I have an engineering job!

Ed:

I've got no information on FIA rules.  Sorry.  I wouldn't be surprised if you could find the answer from others in the FIA record chase, of course.  Two-wheel folk -- yup, for sure.  Gotta get all of those physical things out of the way.
