ECTA saftey rules for cars
« on: September 23, 2005, 04:27:36 PM »
Hi, i'm Larry and very new to land speed racing.  I have applied for a membership in the ECTA and now am just awaiting a reply and a rule book, im gonna try and make it out there for october.  i will be running a stock bodied 67 mustang, i will assume production class, with a 351W and a toploader, i was just wondering what safety requirements i need to meet to be able to race. i don't think i will be setting any records i just want to go and have a good time.  another question i have (since i'm too excited to wait until the rulebook gets here) is what am i limited to for body modification? for instance can i add a lower facia onto it if it was stock on other models, am i allowed to make my own that resembles it (don't have much money), can i add a rear spoiler or any sort, etc.  i realize i'm asking a lot of info but i'm really excited about this.  
any help is greatly appreciated.

Mr 261gps, my humor can only be understood by twisted people like you. "Nice" I save for my wife, and my dog. Ok I guess I can be nice to you, your girlfriend, your cat, only because maybe some day I?ll get some pistons from ya, and Michelle is pretty. Maybe I?ll be nice to little ?A? since he runs this fine web site so I can continue to bag on the ECTA. But that?s it, I don?t think I can get any more on my list.
Peace and grease
