Tansar_Motorsports 5 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Hi, 1. For refueling, are "Dry Break" systems allowed, as long as I am still using 5 gallon Jugs? 2. For fuel jugs not specifically shown in the appendix, can I submit these to be inspected and approved by my local NASA staff, or do I have to submit them here for national approval and inclusion in the appendix? 3. The rules state that only 1 refueling location is allowed. My car has 2. The stock fuel cap, and the dry break. Am I allowed to compete, as long as I only use 1 of these (the other could be taped over, etc)? 4. I don't see any mention of minimum number of pitstops, or maximum time between pitstops. Is there a rule? If not, NASA may want to add one (pretty much every cheap endurance race organization has these rules). Without these rules, cars with max size tanks, and/or cars that get better MPG will have an advantage. The 10 gallons max per pitstop tries to address this I think, but it's not enough. A miata can go a lot longer on 10 gallons than a mustang. A good rule would be: "minimum number of pitstops during the race = (race time in minutes / 45) - 1" This would work out to approx 45 minutes between stops, or, more likely, a long first stint (starting full of fuel), and then 30-45 minute stints after that.
