Raznkane Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Currently doing an AI mustang build and after following the rules debate in the AI forum I need to know, how complete does a car have to be for a first time log book? If my car had all except for motor and tranny is that enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbuskuhl Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Needs to be track ready. They will check the master kill switch to see if it does what it's supposed too, can't check that if the car does not start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'd ask your regional tech guy - but I suspect it would at least need to run and be up to par safety specs wise.. might be able to get by if the brakes/suspension/etc wasn't fully ready I'd think but who knows unless they're one of the tech guys.

Raznkane Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks! It would have all safety stuff, seats, steering, brakes, and fuel system plumbed to the front and most of the electrical done. I don't think I can have it running by years end though. I'm in the SE so I'll see if I get a bite from a director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSCoupe Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why do you need a log book right now, when the car isn't even ready to go? You can always get an annual, and the log book, at your first event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raznkane Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 The main reason I asked this was that if some rules were changed it could affect my build. If I had a log book on this car would it not grandfather me in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 grandfathering purposes is the only thing that comes to mind - could be a valid concern depending on the details of the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nape Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Grandfathering would only concern safety changes, like specs in the CCR. The log book process only concerns itself with safety concerns and doesn't worry about class rules. Class rules are class rules. If they tell us that 3 cyl Geo Metro motors are the only legal motor next year, you could still get your log book and annual with a V8.

kbrew8991 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I know for GTS that cars logbooked before X/XX were allowed any engine, and ones after that date must use a German one stuff like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raznkane Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thanks for the replys. TJ, that is what I had in my mind about a log book but wasn't sure. I was going to make a few mods to the radiator core support and have been reading the AI rules thread where some had issues with it so, I'll just let that wait for the future. I'll try to have everything done but motor and tranny by the December RA event and see if they will do the log book like that. Then I'll have to meet the class rules with the annual.

Raznkane Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Needs to be track ready. This is the correct answer in case anybody might want to know in the future. At least in the SE region, just check with your regional tech guy or gal as KB said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
