If its out of the box thinking please share ! If its unsafe why even try?This may be a dumb question, but how stringent is the tech inspection at Koh?
What are some areas that they hold high standards on vs areas that they gloss over?
Thanks in advance
I was thinking about doing a mock tech inspection my buddy who's doing 4600 for the first time but I realized I don't really know what specific things they'll be super critical about vs "eh that's good"If its out of the box thinking please share ! If its unsafe why even try?
You can reach out to Ultra4 or USAC and ask about areas to focus on, frequently over-looked items, and general best practices before getting the vehicle banded and passing through tech. There is also the 4600-Class Group on FB that opens to registered Drivers that is worthwhile as well.I was thinking about doing a mock tech inspection my buddy who's doing 4600 for the first time but I realized I don't really know what specific things they'll be super critical about vs "eh that's good"
No, not in ultra 4I know this does not apply to most people on here, but is there not a “street legal” class? Meaning, if it’s got a plate, it can run?
I get what you mean, that's what made this question hard to aski think vague was the wrong word, not what i meant.
exactly,,, i think what's vague is they don't limit you to any vehicle, just follow these rules. and some of it is my general ignorance when it comes to some of the terminology. or slang .
This happened not too long ago with 1 1/2 cars.I definitely don't think its a bad thing but cars with 1.75" chassis and over 4400 lbs will be not legal? That could put a lot of people out of racing.
I'd highly recommend getting it stickered BEFORE KOH. They usually offer up some shops that are working with Ultra4 to get cars teched. You'd still go through tech at contingency but it's WAY easier to pass than a first time sticker techI am also kind of curious to see how mine will tech. Its banded and grandfathered in, and I have put a lot of time fixing old wore out stuff.
My first U4 race was Sturgis, all they basically did was check my safety equipment (suits, helmet's, window nets etc..) and at nationals there wasn't even a tech. I've just heard it can be very dependent on who you have teching the car. Some are super anal and some aren't.
I'm really curious and maybe a little concerned on how they will go about the re branding of every car. I definitely don't think its a bad thing but cars with 1.75" chassis and over 4400 lbs will be not legal? That could put a lot of people
Is a sticker different than a band? This car has raced multiple KOH, probably 4-6 times with the most recent being 18 & 19. This will be my first KOH race with this car though.I'd highly recommend getting it stickered BEFORE KOH. They usually offer up some shops that are working with Ultra4 to get cars teched.
