| CR46: NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEMS | ||
|
46.1
|
Nitrous oxide bottles must be securely mounted in the boot or rear of the vehicle. Any such vehicle using a nitrous oxide system is required to have a leak-proof bulkhead between the boot of the vehicle and the driver's compartment. | |
|
46.2
|
Where no boot space exists in a vehicle (i.e. hatchbacks), the nitrous oxide bottle can be securely mounted (no hose clamps or cable ties) with steel brackets in the passenger's compartment. | |
|
46.3
|
All nitrous oxide systems not isolated from the driver by a leak-proof bulkhead must be equipped with a relief valve and be directly vented to the outside of the driver's compartment utilising a flexible fuel line to disperse gas leakage into the atmosphere. | |
|
46.4
|
Where nitrous lines pass the converter or flywheel area, they must be encased in 3mm thickness steel tubing for 450mm or alternatively be re-routed outside the chassis or frame rails. All flexible nitrous lines must have a high pressure rating of 1500psi as minimum. | |
|
46.5
|
The use of any agents other than nitrous oxide as part of, or mixed with this pressurised fuel system is strictly prohibited. | |
|
46.6
|
Bottle shut-off valves must be equipped with an on/off tap. Any bottles requiring a special key are not permitted. Only cylinders designed for the use and storage of nitrous oxide and that are equipped with a safety pressure valve are acceptable. | |
|
46.7
|
All bottles must be securely mounted, stamped with minimum DOT-1800 pound rating and identified as Nitrous Oxide. Nitrous Oxide bottle(s) located in the driver compartment must be equipped with a relief valve and vented outside of compartment. System must be commercially available and installed per manufacturers recommendations. | |
|
46.8
|
External heating of bottle(s) with open flame is prohibited. | |
| CR47: NIGHT LIGHTING | ||
| All vehicles racing at night must be fitted with an operative red taillight. | ||
| CR48: NUTS AND BOLTS | ||
| The use of ultra high tensile Allen and star head bolts of the type commonly referred to as "unbrako" in areas where lateral impact may be experienced is not permitted. | ||
| CR49 : OCCUPANTS | ||
| No more than one person is permitted in any vehicle during its participating in qualifying and/or competition run-offs. Any time a vehicle is started, whether in the pits, staging lanes or anywhere else on the Racing facility, a competent driver must be in the driver's seat. | ||
| CR50 : OIL SYSTEM | ||
| Accu-sump, dry sump, oil filters, oil supply lines etc., are prohibited in the driver's compartment. Only an oil pressure gauge and line is permitted in the driver's compartment. | ||
