NEW SAFETY MEASURES FOR LONG ISLAND MINICUPS
After a horrific crash this
past weekend at Mountain Speedway, the Long Island Mini Cup
Association has decided to institute a number of safety
mandates. All these safety mandates will be required by the
next LIMCA race.
For the Junior Classes:
- MANDATORY:
Professionally manufactured and recognized head and neck
restraint system.
For the Adult Classes:
- MANDATORY:
Minimum of neck collar, but strongly recommended a form
of head and neck restraint system.
For the ALL Classes:
- MANDATORY:
Right-side seat mounted head support. Left-side support
is optional but strongly suggested.
The following items must be obtained,
present, installed and used at the next race or your car
will not be allowed on the track. A pre-race driver and car
safety tech will be mandatory at next race as well. NO
exceptions.
One
final reminder… As stated in the rulebook, Rule 28.3 states
“No liquid or other tire softeners are allowed.” Anyone
caught using anything other than a heat gun will be set down
for the night and face further penalty.
