pre-event safety inspection - SRT Forums

LiveWire · 03-14-2005, 12:17 AM

I'm not clear on how this is supposed to work exactly. We need to have all these items to be verified, but by whom exactly? Is this basically state inspection-type stuff? Does it have to be a professional/certified mechanic to inspect? And everything on the list is going to be inspected again at the track before classes begin, right? If everything gets checked before sign-in, then does it really need to be checked before a person goes to the track? (Assuming you live dangerously and feel lucky about the car passing).

Not that I'm going to avoid having the car inspected, since I need the front alignment tweaked a bit and will be getting an oil change at the same time just before I leave for Nats. Since I'll take the car to the dealership for this I figure they should be able to do the pre-inspection as well. Sorry if the answers should be obvious to me already, but I'm a first-timer and totally new to this kind of thing. I'm trying to be crystal clear on all the details to minimize my risk of doing something incorrectly.

For the heck of it.

because I don't want to be denied participating due to not knowing how this should work.

Hey Greg what's up with this. I have checked all this stuff myself. Do I check it off, or does the tech staff at the Nats check it all off? Trying to get Livewire a good answer since he's waiting so patiently.

Livewire if Greg doesn't get back to you I would still get your car inspected before you leave. The last place you want to find problems are at the track. Make small check marks and leave room for them to be checked again by the tech inspectors at the track.

you can run the checklist yourself. I suggest bringing it to your dealer though.

Excellent. I am in no way qualified or competent to say these things on my car are OK. Though with only 2800 miles on it, I'd be surprised if they aren't. Thanks guys.

Yeah, that's what I was going to do. I figure that way they can just void the warranty while I'm there.
