Is Arm Restraints legal in prepared?
Hi,
I emailed Bill Fitzmaurice, Chief of Tech at bilfitz33@verizon.net this question, but haven't received an answer yet. Is this the correct email?
Anyway, can arm restraints be used in prepared class, in place of a window net? I will be running a rollbar(not cage) in a street driven car. So as much as I hate arm restraints I think it's the best alternative for a rollbar car.
Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric:
Perhaps you can elaborate on this. I am not sure I understand the question.
If your car is a convertible (open top) arm restraints are mandatory. If your car is a certain class then roll cage/bar is also required.
COM rules are windows down. Net in some cases optional so I am not sure what you are referring to: use arms restraints in an enclosed car instead of window nets?

^thanks yeah I saw that thread but no conclusion. As it was mid season and rule changes weren't allowed?????
I have a tin top street legal car with an autopower rollbar(not cage). I will be running in prepared. I need to run a window net per the 2008 rules.
My question is can arm restrains be used instead of a window net in prepared?
Will a rollbar(not cage) it is a lot harder to mount a window net.
Just wondering, that is all.

No rule change was submittted, thus, none was made. As the rules state, a window net is required in Prepared.0100 wrote:^thanks yeah I saw that thread but no conclusion. As it was mid season and rule changes weren't allowed?????

Just for clarification: You are talking about running in Prepared, rather than Street Prepared?

A window safety net must be used to prevent drivers arms AND/OR HEAD from protruding through the window.
Rule XII.1.B, page 22 of the 2008 rule book.

Re: window net
picture links are no longer valid, but this was the main reason we now require hood pins.craig lawrence wrote:some people are saying they use mil spec velcro for window net is this ok, also i had a new carbom fiber hood installed with all the stock hardware the rule books say i must put 2 hood pins in it to hold the hood in place. i realy dont want to drill holes in my new hood . what happens if i show up with out a window net or hood pins and i skip time trials could i run on track anyway ? thank craig

The BOD has discussed allowing some leeway in modifications, but I don't recall that we ever considered waiving safety requirements. The Chief of Tech would probably have the final say.
