I have been a bad forum user, its been three weeks since my last login (yes I was raised Catholic):

I'll review how the fan wording rolls through, but I would follow Mr. Breton's thought path...since I wrote the G2 updates and Powertrain Violation sections...that is what I was thinking.

Planned or known revisions:

Redo the front lip on the pan, I think rolling can be allowed (I give up...no more trapped pans and overheated engines would be worth it).

Typo on G2 Oil Filter

Add a required 6" wide orange stripe to the top roll hoop for all GEN3 cars!!! (visible front and rear).

thinking about allowing jump plugs (that connect only to the battery - so there is clearly no other function).

I have a few more clean ups...I'll share soon. THANKS!

The jump plugs for the battery are a good idea. I have a quick disconnect fitting for a battery tender attached to my battery and threaded into the cockpit so I don't need to remove the nose to connect the battery tender.

Not that anyone else would do this but, I loaded up the Gen3 in the trailer the last race only to find it with a dead battery when I went to unload because I didn't kill the master switch. Not saying anyone else would ever do that though, it's not like I wasn't warned!!!

Eric,
Do you mean G3 oil filter?
Yeah for the battery plug.
No to the orange strip. How about a g3 on the tail.

What is the Orange strip for?

I suppose it's so that we can quickly distinguish between the Gen2 and Gen3 cars on track.

Do we really need to do that? If you are faster you will get by.

I have had a couple of people tell me after races that they were surprised by how quickly my car came up beside them and that they did not realize it was a GEN3 until they heard the exhaust note as I passed. While it won't be pretty, I think the orange stripe or some other identifier on the roll bar is worth considering.

Maybe then we also need a rule that says that a Gen 2 car CANNOT have an orange stripe on it's roll bar?

It's gonna need to be bigger than six inches wide on the roll bar to see in easily in the mirrors. How about on the roll bar, tallman struts and 1 1/2 dots on the mirrors?

Also, some roll bars, like mine, are yellow, or orange or another low-contrast color. Whatever is done needs to be easily picked up with a glance in the mirrors.
