I was present at the meeting of FIA officials on the salt when the idea of a set of FIA specific safety rules for LSR was proposed. I worked with the FIA for a few months in an attempt to incorporate SCTA safety rules for their use. Eventually, a current salt racer and engineer with credentials far exceeding mine was chosen to draft safety rules. The new rules are a result of this effort.
I missed a chance at a trip to Paris for meetings I guess.
