FOT,

This is a big deal. I will check this out with SVRA and report back ASAP. =
I can tell you that in California, its extremely difficult, if not impossi=
ble, to purchase new systems. The tanks are back ordered. In fact, I'm le=
nding out the bottle from my Miata so other racers can us it in local SCCA =
San Francisco races. So this requirement doesn't match up with reality fo=
r now. I have a new bottle in my TR7, but couldn't get last year for the T=
R8. Both cars have a single activation points for the driver only.
