*Please note: These rules are subject to change in an attempt to maintain fair and equal competition among vehicle makes and models, and in the interest of safety.
(Effective 1-1-12)
A SGMP Technical Inspector or Official may check any car for engine, chassis, oil, fuel, tires, wheels, rear ends, or any other component at any time. Upon entering a car for competition, the driver (and the owner) is responsible for the legality of their car and will suffer all penalties resulting from the car violating these rules. Refusal to submit a car, engine, or any part for inspection or measurement upon the request of a SGMP Technical Inspector or Official will result in an immediate disqualification and may result in fine, suspension, or other penalties by SGMP Track Officials.
The following items will be mandatory technical inspection checks for the top five finishers after a feature race:
1. Minimum Weight
2. Head casting numbers
3. Other items as determined by the Race Director and/or Technical Inspector.
No equipment or racecar will be considered as having been approved by reason of having passed through inspection “unobserved”. Regardless of a car passing prior technical inspections, compliance with all rules must be made at each post-race inspection. No expressed or implied warranty of safety shall result from the technical inspection or approval. Any rules or guidelines not covered will be governed at the discretion of SGMP Race Director and Technical Inspector.
Enforcement of Specification Rules: All SGMP approved weighing, measuring and testing devices used by SGMP Technical Inspector or Official are the standards that will determine compliance with the rules and regulations.
