I need to document the use of the standard FFR roll bar setup in sanctioned Solo 1 (time trial) or open racing. My sanctioning body is trying to find a reason to give me an exemption to compete and I need to give them whatever evidence of competition use I can.

What I need are action shots and the date and name of the event and sanctioning body. A copy of any written authorization to compete or a contact at a sanctioning org would be good too.

Unfortunately, spec racer, dual roll bar or modified roll bar examples won't help.

You can e-mail the pics or docs directly to me at [email protected] , or post them and I'll grab them from the board.

Thanks for any help on this!

How about this: http://www.ffcars.com/magazine/firstautocross.htm

You can go to www.houscca.com and see that I finished second in ESP

You can go here: http://www.ffcars.com/Events/autocross02.htm
That was a BMW/Porsche Club event, Im not sure if they have results posted, but you could email them and confirm that I ran.

i think john needs high speed track events, not autocross.

alison hine has time trialed her stock roll bar cobra extensively.

Wouldn't the Run & Gun events held every year qualify? We run high speed timed trials with the stock roll bars. I'm sure someone has still photos, plus there are tons of video of the events.

Cheers

I have several photos of the Second Strike Event at this Album: http://community.webshots.com/album/23260552MajxuorozA

THere is a second album for another VIR event there also.. http://community.webshots.com/album/38481043Yrfljn

THe second strike event is an Untimed, open track event with speeds as high as 155 mph.

You can go online to Secondstrike.com to get their roll bar rules.

lots of luck

James is correct, it's on track use with the standard roll bars that I need to prove. I will send some pics from Run 'n Gun if anyone has some showing FFRs, but I really need to show something like the COMSCC or NASA events that have a recognized sanctioner involved. I've got some COMSCC pics from their site, but haven't found any from NASA events yet.

Earl,

Thanks, but I need to show open sanctioned events. The people I'm trying to convince are our equivalent of the SCCA.

John, check on the NASA site. the guy that takes pictures for them might be able to help, think it's "Head on Photos", or something like that. I bought some pics of me running at Sears.

the NASA events most people run are technically school groups and have a low safety equipment requirements. solo I generally requires full road race safety gear. time trials are solo I, but not called solo I so they dont have to conform to the more rigid equipment required, IIRC. so i wouldnt think NASA school group pics apply either!

PS personally, after driving my cobra at laguna seca, i went and bought a real road race car. the cobra just feels too dangerous to me.
