    Default Runoffs post qualifying and race tech inspection

    Although this has been posted in the general Forum we specifically need input in FB.

    The Formula Sports Racing Advisory Committee needs some help, we need input on what to inspect at the Runoffs post qualifying and post race. Keeping in mind compliance items checked post qualifying should be such that the inspection should be "minimally invasive" and could not possibly cause performance problems during the race.
    For example weight should be checked post qual and race.
    What else should be checked?
    Thanks
    David

    Default Airboxes should be checked.

    Specifically for nitrous drip fogger systems. That would give the 1st few laps of a cheater /rule breaker a flyer and I mean flyer lap advantage.

    I am sure it has already been done in DSR and F1000 by competitors looking for the cheating edge.

    Holy smokes. Has someone really done that? Where is the jaw-drop emoticon?

    Seriously, I can't imagine a competitor, especially at the national level, taking such a risk. Imagine the implications of being caught.

    Nicholas, send me a PM and tell me who it was. I promise not to tell anyone.

    I haven't been able to think of anything good to add to this thread, other than maybe checking for carbon fiber body parts (but I wouldn't know how).

    I don't suppose there is a way to check camshafts or valve train for not-stock parts uninvasively. That's where I'd cheat. But I'd never do that. I'm just saying if I did that's where I'd do it. But I haven't. Honest. Just saying.

    You'll want an engine builder- (IE George Dean) on hand to really go over the top 3's motors.
