So with a very short time get this done, this is the New rule?  Had we know=
n this, oh say last fall, it could have been a winter project.  Some of thi=
s is not hard but sending your system off to get a recertification could ve=
ry well be a major problem in these times.  So what is the alternative, buy=
 a new system?  Some of us have already committed to race with our home clu=
bs in mid March, then it is a short turn around until Sonoma.  Pretty well =
leaves us in a major bind as far I can tell, not to mention a potential lar=
ge expense.

We were encouraged to sign up for the K Cup with SVRA, plus Laguna, under t=
he assumption that if our cars were legal in our home clubs they would be a=
llowed to run as is.  Dropping this mandatory rule on us at the last minute=
 does not sit well.  No one wants to be unsafe, I don=E2=80=99t think the r=
ule is that unreasonable, but the timing to get this done is unreasonable.

Advanced warning:
The SVRA rules on fire systems are much more strict than SCCA and some of t=
he other sanctioning bodies such as VRG. =C2=A0Notably, plumbed in systems =
are required, and they must have two activation points, one accessible to t=
he driver and the other accessible to a course worker without having to lea=
n into the car. =C2=A0Furthermore, they must be re-certified every two year=
s. =C2=A0Note that these are requirements, not recommendations, and new thi=
s year (2024)

For more detail, please see Section L of Safety Requirements at=C2=A0https:=
