Title: Safety Tech Inspections
Post by: fastrnrik on March 25, 2007, 08:36:03 PM
Starting at the next race, we will begin doing simple safety tech inspections on the quads before the race like we do to the karts.

Here's some of the things we'll be checking:

*Kill switches. Kill switches will HAVE to be functional on ALL quads. This a new rule so we'll give people plenty of time to get them on and hooked up.
*Brakes, front and rear. They need to work, period.
*Lug nuts and hubs. We want to avoid flying tires, Hoosier Daddy can testify to how that turns out.
*Leaks
*Clutch. Your clutch needs to hold your quad. We don't need our line up man getting run over... (they're hard to find)
 
And we will give your quad a general look over for loose and/or damaged items that we feel may be unsafe.

These inspections are meant to give all the riders an added measure of protection. We have novice class riders breaking 60mph, and open class riders approaching 70mph, so I'm sure everyone will understand.

Thanks
