Interesting, as this may be an issue for the K-Cup this year. Running at Son=
oma with SVRA 8 weeks from now.

<div>That said, when rebuilding the Spitfire, I chose an SPA aqueous foam sy=
stem with 4 distribution nozzles and 3 actuators; one outside, one on the da=
sh and the bottle handle itself.</div>

<p class=3D"MsoNormal"><span style=3D"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial=

and some of the other sanctioning bodies such as VRG. Notably, plumbe=
d in systems are required, and they must have two activation points, one acc=
essible to the driver and the other accessible to a course worker without ha=
ving to lean into the car. Furthermore, they must be re-certified ever=
y two years. Note that these are requirements, not recommendations, an=
d new this year (2024)</span></p>
