Re: Rule Clarification-Requirement clarification request?

I think the fit criteria is extended from my original suggestion...
For this rule I believe the "fit criterion" is that no vehicle shall have the ability to drive off and do a "herbie goes bananas"...
To... that no vehicle shall have the ability to drive off and do a "herbie goes bananas" AND explode into flame unchecked (for want of better wording)...

So this might be better wording and maybe would work for both cars and bikes...

"A DRIVER/RIDER SHALL BE IN CONTROL OF THE RACE VEHICLE AND ALL DRIVER CONTROLLED SAFETY MECHANISMS ANY TIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING"

I am not sure though if this would allow someone to sit beside a bike in the shade with a lanyard attached but I would image that having some mechanism to switch of the vehicle would constitute being in control (since the lanyard is the alternative to the shutoff switch).

I concur with above statement. I think about our Low Streamliner as we have it in the air on stands to work / inspect it. If Someone has to be in the seat that means climbing of a ladder to get in. No good practice
The above interpretation cover a lot (do we look at what it doesn't )

I would be happy with the `lanyard attached' proposal.

For your information RGN infringed on the Terms and Conditions and Rules and Guidelines of the DLRA Forum.
More specifically from the R & G;
3. No threats, racist remarks, or other type of posts that attack, insult, "flame", or abuse members or guests.

This was the second time RGN had been pulled up for insults and attack on committee and forum members.

I explained this all to him and gave him the opportunity to respond as to why he should not be removed from the forum and in the end he chose not to respond.

Sadly this is the first and only time in all the years that the forum has been going that I have had to remove a member.
Keep the shiney side up........

wow, RGN must've said something nasty via PM because I reckon everything he discussed in this thread was insightful, clear - even when the rules aren't - and relevant, even when given 'attitude' by other participants



So, am I allowed to have my trusted mate sit in MY car when I am tuning/working on my car's engine in the pits?

My mate is not "THE" driver under the rules, I am

Many of the things he posted got removed. Insults never help in anyway and that is not what the DLRA is about.
As for you mate helping you in the pits I see nothing wrong with that.

The ruling 1.L PARTICIPANT CONDUCT states,,,, " A DRIVER / RIDER SHALL BE IN OR UPON THE RACE VEHICLE ANY TIME THE ENGINE IS RUNNING" Note this says , A driver , not THE driver.


There is a new clause that has been added to the entry form this year,,,,,,,,,,,,,," By my signature I swear and affirm that I have read and understand the rules and regulations of the event and will comply with them".

This has been done to make sure that all entrants have read the rule book thoroughly , not just the bit regarding their vehicle / class etc.
