CHAPTER SEVEN

COCKPIT, DRIVER & PIT SAFETY

1. DRIVER SEAT: Driver seat shall be metal and provide support of both left and right sides from shoulders to the legs. Seat shall be mounted using a minimum of (4) grade 8 - 1/4" bolts. No fiberglass or plastic seats.
a) Driver seat shall be padded.
b) Seat shall have right and left shoulder supports.
c) Seat shall have left and right padded head supports.
d) Padded head rests are mandatory, shall be located directly behind driver's head and shall measure no wider than 10 inches.

2. DRIVER BELTS: Three inch driver seat belts, shoulder harnesses and crotch (anti-submarine) belts are mandatory and shall be bolted or fastened to the frame. Each belt shall fasten separately to a common quick release type unit. Any belt showing wear or deterioration shall not be allowed. It is required that belts be replaced every two years. The complete belt assembly shall be worn at all times while the driver is on the racing surface. Separate shoulder strap fastening and sternum belt are highly recommended. Use the following illustration and recommendations for installing your belts:

3. LAP BELT is designed to hold the lower abdomen, hip and pelvic area back into the seat and to provide the majority of control in holding your body down into the seat bottom. The lap belt shall be mounted at a 45 degree angle to the spine no matter what inclination your seating position provides. Always allow the lap belt to lay across your lower abdomen and route smoothly all the way around the hips to provide as much distribution of weight as possible. The lap belt shall not be routed over the top of the sides of the seat. Lap belts are to hold your body, not the seat. It is important to route the lap belt through the slot provided in the seat, to provide proper distribution of pull.

4. SHOULDER HARNESS is the most abused belt in the harness system. Used improperly these belts will hurt you in a hard crash. Research indicates that back injuries (i.e. broken back, vertebrae damage from compression of the spine, tail bone breakage, etc.), shoulder and some neck injuries are directly attributed to shoulder harnesses being used improperly or improper seat design and not necessarily from the force of the impact itself. The main function of the shoulder harness is to hold your torso back into the seat. The shoulder harnesses shall be routed so they pass over the top of the shoulder and traverse at a 90 degree angle to the spine no matter what the inclination your seating position provides. This allows you to provide the proper tension required to hold your upper body back into the seat without taking your breath! The belts shall not run down your back below shoulder height before crossing through the shoulder harness slot in the seat and shall not run across the bony structure at the perimeter of the shoulder as damage will result. The shoulder belts shall be routed through the holes provided in the seat and across the cage tube to provide the best control of location of the belt.

5. Fuel shut-off valve and ignition switch shall be within reach of the driver when the driver is held into position by seat belts and harnesses. They shall be clearly marked "off" and "on" and easily accessible by the safety crew.

6. All protrusions, brackets and bracing in the cockpit area (inc. roll cage) shall have smooth or rounded edges and if the driver is in close proximity to these items, they shall be protected with "ensolite" or equivalent material with a minimum thickness of ½ inch.

7. An engine kill switch is mandatory and shall be mounted so that it can be activated without having to move hands from steering wheel or feet from pedals. Examples: 1. Kill switch mounted on steering wheel, 2. Kill switch on toe strap, 3. Kill switch built into brake system.

8. Driver's vision shall not be obstructed by engine components, injector stacks, auxiliary fuel tanks, body panels, etc.

9. No mirrors shall be allowed.

10. The quick release part of the removable steering wheel shall be made of metal only.

11. Cars shall be equipped with a safety toe strap fastened to the accelerator pedal which shall allow the driver to close the throttle manually, if necessary.

12. All cars shall have a fire extinguisher securely mounted in cockpit within driver's reach when strapped in the car.

13. Radio communication between the driver and the pit crew or between pit crew members is not allowed. Receiver only or scanner radios in direct communication with the Competition Director shall be mandatory. The radios must be activated and in use at all times, including warm-ups.

14. The driver shall wear the following protective racing apparel:
  a) Full face helmet with proper fastenings and protective eye shield. It shall meet Snell 2000 testing standards. If driver's helmet has been subject to impact as the result of a crash, being thrown, etc., the driver shall provide written confirmation, to the chief tech inspector, that the helmet has been inspected and approved for competition by the helmet manufacturer. Failure to do so shall result in the confiscation of helmet by the chief tech inspector.
  b) Nomex hood or "clava" if not built into the helmet.
  c) Fire retardant uniform properly fastened at neck, wrists and ankles.
  d) Fire retardant socks, underwear, gloves and shoes.
  e) Safety approved neck collar.
  f)  Window net is mandatory.
  g) The chief tech inspector reserves the right to confiscate any safety equipment that is of a questionable nature.

 15. If a driver receives an injury requiring continuous medical attention from a physician or chiropractor, the driver shall be required to submit, in writing, a medical release on the attending physician's or chiropractor's letterhead and it shall be received by the Competition Director 24 hours prior to the next scheduled race meet in which the driver wishes to participate. Also, the driver shall demonstrate to the Competition Director the ability to enter and exit the car quickly and safely before being allowed to compete.

16. If a driver is rendered unconscious from an accident on the track, the driver, upon regaining consciousness, shall be unable to compete for the duration of the race meet.

17. Drivers shall be physically and mentally healthy in order to compete on any given race meet. The Competition Director may require a driver to submit a statement, in writing, on his attending physician's letterhead, attesting to the driver's fitness to operate a race car. The Competition Director reserves the right to disqualify any driver deemed "unfit to race" by track medical personnel.

18. All crew members shall be attired in a shirt and long pants only.
