Having someone do the “safety” would be a good. But it will also create many huge arguments, unless there is a very, very specific guideline to follow. Without a guideline/rule, I can already see the arguments. “well, I think this is totally fine, or, I ran like this somewhere else no problem, or I think it’s safe, or I have valid plates and insurance crap so it must be safe….etc., etc., etc. That is why I said “plated or non-plated” makes no difference, but it must abide by these safety rules no matter what.
I would gladly do the safety, but I am hated already enough, so I pity the poor soul who would volunteer for this job, as i can forsee the issues and arguments he will have. For rally-x, I think the rules should be very simple and easy to allow / disqualify the entry.
Something to the aspect of:
All wheel studs/lug-nuts must be on and secured. All brakes must be functioning No leaking fluid of any kind No broken windshield (minor chips are ok, but no fractures) Battery must be securely fastened to frame/subframe with proper tie-downs (not a strap or a rubber band) No lose items in the car Proper safety restrains (either OEM or a 5/6 point seatbelts) Legal helmets No rust holes or damage to A, B,C pillars on car or car roof, unless full certified cage in car (for roll over security)
There are few others, but I hope you get my point….
Yet I have seen entries that were “rally-prepped” cars by “shops” at the rally-x's over the last 2 years that I would NOT allow to run just based on the above.
