who actually decides if this rule goes ahead ,hardly fair to the racer to make them pay for motor strip down and rebuild .

and yet it seems it is the competitors themselves that want it done this way, I'm assuming the most the 60+ submissions were from competitors of the class.
" the majority of submissions expressed a desire to see the
existing rules enforced, no matter what the cost of disassembly
would be to establish compliance. This has been accepted by the
Board and the existing Rule T11-1-2(b) remains in place."

may be true beach boy - but I will still bet my race car and everything else in my garage that any competitor who gets asked to foot the bill will be pretty pissed off!
Some of those engines are in excess of $80,000.00 after all, thats almost double my last years wage.

any motors costing that sort of money would be striped down and inspected as maintenance every few meeting anyway wouldn't they?

Fair bit of the money is in assembly to begin with - thats if its a profesionally built motor - they tend to be built for a season in speedway cars, not for a few meetings.
With the big dollar speedway ones every few meetings you change oil, radiator fluid, filters, spark plugs and leads - thats every fifth or so meeting for some cars and alot less for others, one that my family worked on had that happen every two meetings..
this is all from what ive been told and what my family used to do though - for most people its gonna be different.

QUOTE FRON SNZ AUG 2014 UPDATE. Super Saloon Valve Rules Unchanged Plus WARNING The proposal was to delete rule entirely, with one of the reasons for the suggestion being that it is difficult to confirm compliance with existing rules once an engine has been assembled. However, the majority of submissions expressed a desire to see existing rules enforced, no matter what the cost of disassembly would be to establish compliance. This has been accepted by the board and the existing rule T 11-1-2 remains in place.
A complicating factor that emerged from the feedback was the issue of valve cant. However, cant is not mentioned in the rules currently, and is therefore not required to be measured or able to be enforced, as other rules state that engine modifications are permitted.
COMPETITORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SNZ WILL BE SELECTING ENGINES TO BE TESTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THIS RULE DURING THE SEASON, AND THE COST OF DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WILL BE BORNE BY THE COMPETITOR.
We therefore suggest that competitors who are able to do so take the opportunity to have a technical steward inspect their valve angle and seal their engine before the start of the season. The only cost in this instance is the mileage involved in getting a tech steward to the place of inspection.
My feeling is before placing a bet on the NZs at the TAB make sure your car complies with the above rulings as this would be the ideal opportunity for SNZ to enforce the rulings as a lot of debate and feed back came from the class competitors on this matter. |

We have saloons which is a restricted class, then we have supersaloons, why can't they be just that, super, anything goes, do whatever, spend whatever, its the class to do it in, the only rule in this class should be body must match motor, and drivers safety. That's it. Clear cut, no f.....g around
