I would like to know what type of safety, etc. regulations I would have to prep my car to race it. Any info would be most appreceated.

Thanks

I would think a lot would depend on what sanction of racing you are planning on getting into.

Wheel-to-wheel racing is going to have a completely different set of standards and requirements than Autocrossing. Typically, autoX only requires a solid mounted battery, good tires, good seatbelts, and that nothing be loose in or on the car.

Check with the sanctioning body of the type of racing that you want to get into. They will be able to tell you what needs to be done to the car before it is allowed on the track.

For SCCA Road Racing in ITS you need at least:

- Six Point Roll Cage

- 5lb Portable Fire Extinquisher

- 5-Point Harness (not with Y-Style shoulder harness - shoulder straps must be separate)

- Main Power Cutoff Switch

- Window Net

- Working Brake lights

- All lights (except brake) must be taped over

- Front and rear bumpers

- Remove steering lock

For E-Production you need at least that for ITS plus:

- Fuel Cell

- All lights must be removed (except brake)

- Bumpers optional

- Front and rear window clips

- Front window cave-in straps
