Headlights In Cams Events

[Tektrader69]

Just thinking out loud here about removing headlights from dedicated track cars.

If I pull the headlights out out of the z32( as well as all their supports) and sheet over them to remove front overhang weight. Would saying the little driving lights (in the front bar) are "headlights" be enough to still allow the scrutuneers to pass the car to run?

I know they still require functioning lights. Its just a matter of WHAT WILL DO to pass scrutineering. I am not planning on doing any night racing and wont be entering the 24hr at Daytona BTW.

Gonna make some some headlight stickers so it stll looks like it has "REAL" headlights

Yeah won't be an issue I don't think. All the guys who run pop-up lights type cars, RX7's etc, all seem to keep them closed or removed altogether and run little spots instead.

Depending on the particular race category.

Here are the Sport Sedans Rules

7. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The original external shape and location of all lighting and signalling equipment must be retained. If original headlamps and turn indicators are not used, their replacements may be blended with the surrounding coachwork. Where the original headlamps and signalling equipment is removed, suitable decals of original size and location must be used in their place. Front lighting and signalling equipment need not be functional. For vehicles with retractable headlights, the external shape shall be determined to be that attained whilst the headlights were in the parked position. Tail lamps and brake lamps must remain operable, with a minimum power of three Watts for tail lights, and minimum 20 Watts for brake lights.

A high-intensity rain light must be fitted to all vehicles to the upper rear lip of the boot lid as close to central as practical. This must be lighted for any race declared wet.

Shouldn't be a problem.

CAMS require you to follow Schedules A, B and F as a minimum for all events.

From there you only have to worry about any specific regs for the category you are running in. Most race cars don't have lights, although almost all touring cars do
