Does this mean I need to buy and fit a front tow hook?

"h) All vehicles must have tow hooks fitted. Subaru WRX MY 01 onwards competitors

must ensure that their tow hook is fitted to the front of the car prior to scrutiny."

I hope not, cause it's gonna be a b*tch of a job..

there should be a factory one up under the front bar.

make sure you know where it is as they will prob ask you during scruit.

oh and make sure you fire ext is under 3 years old not 5 like it used to be, I have to replace mine after the last PI.

I just entered driver training, hopefully there is a spot left.

I have to fit a nylon tow strap as the stock one is no more and I will need an extinguisher too, other than that i'm unsure what the bonnet requirements are, can I tie it down somehow or do I need to fit some kind of pins? I would prefer to not drill holes in the bonnet...

if you have an OEM bonnet for a 1988 or newer car you have 2 locking mech and are fine.

ie the latch under the dash and the 2nd one when you flip the lever under the bonnet.

In :)

The previous owner of my N15 said last time he was at PI, the double bonnet latch wasnt enough, and had to use a make-shift "bunnings special" carabiner on steel rope as a secondary measure. I will be making one up just incase

They changed the wording in the CAMS regs, if the bonnet has two devices stock. It's fine.

I know which id prefer to have holding my bonnet if it popped up, especially at a track as fast as PI.

Hey just noticed on the WRX club website 'pending' against my name... is that because they haven't processed payment - or another reason?

that the one, just means they have either not charged your CC or they have not checked off your Direct deposit against your entry.

:dry:

The whole catch would have to fail, very unlikely. Then do you think the 8mm bunnings wire that most people use as a secondary will hold the surface area of the bonnet at 200kmh...Don't think so.

In part this would have been why CAMS changed the ruling.

I've heard of R33 bonnets fly up before only being held by by the 2nd restraint. 8mm wire is pretty strong and it stops the bonnet low enough you won't have the 'whole' surface area of the bonnet acting on it.

My thinking was it was there for 2 seperate 'systems' to stop brain fade. I'm glad I've got my pins, still sometimes I need to double check on the dummy grid I haven't forgot :)

Oh well if it's not needed it's one less thing for people to do for their first track day.
