To the Northwest Legends
Drivers/Owners: On behalf of the Northwest
Legends your Tech Crew would
like to inform you of some
recent decisions that
may/will affect your racing
experience with us. These changes are a result
of concerns many of you have
expressed regarding the
competition level in our
series.
-
TIRES:
Beginning with our next race
on the 25th of
July…No foreign substance of
any kind
may be applied to your
tires.
INEX rules
clearly state that you may
not place any substance on
your tires that may alter
their physical properties.
This includes tire
shiners/cleaners, etc. We
will be inspecting tires
extremely close on all
cars entered in all events.
For those of you that use
paint to mark the centerline
of your tires please be
aware that even this will
not be allowed!
You must run the same tires
on your car that you start
with for the entire day’s
event. (Including practice)
All tires will be marked
before your car is allowed
on the track for the day.
You may only change tires
with the inspection and
approval of your tech
inspectors. Therefore plan
on running the same tires
all day. We will not
approve the changing of
tires just because you want
to during the day.
Violation of the above will
result in a DQ.
This being said: Your Tech
team will not allow you to
compete with a set of tires
that we even suspect has
been treated with any type
of foreign substance.
-
GENERAL INSPECTION:
Regarding
cars and teams that tend to
dominate our series: Please
be advised that your cars
may be under extra scrutiny
at any given event. Do not
take this personally as the
intent is to insure that all
cars are on an equal playing
field at all times.
Being a former competitor,
please understand that those
you race against are
expecting that we as
technical inspectors are
entrusted to make sure that
this occurs. Again, we are
not “picking on you” or
questioning your ability to
apply your expertise to the
Legend Car racing
experience, just reassuring
your fellow competitors that
everything is on the “up and
up”
J
Respectfully submitted,
Your Northwest Legends Tech
Team.
