Daytona Final Information

  This is it, the one you've been waiting for, Final Information for Daytona     Greetings All! First, as usual, please take a look at the Supplemental Rules  here. We've updated them to Version 3 so make sure you refresh your browser. Ok, so, this is Daytona, it's always a big race so bring your patience and be prepared to work with each other. If you haven't raced with ChampCar in a while or if you just want a refresher on how we manage our races, please take some time to watch our New to ChampCar video here. The only thing that I do not cover in that video is Flagtronics. Flagtronics. Yes we will be running it. Yes we will have units to loan out, and yes they are still free. Trust me, you're going to want to run it here. Units will be available in both the Tech area and Registration.

Seat Belt / Harness Expiration Updates

  To ChampCar Members:  It was brought to our attention by our tech staff that the conformance labels on SFI certified racing harnesses are transitioning from a Date of Manufacture to a Date of Expiration.  The Board of Directors did extensive research and found that other organizations including WRL, AER, USAC, SCCA, NASA, etc. either have never allowed extended use of SFI certified harnesses or have recently changed their rules to align with the SFI Date of Expiration labels, which expire after 2 years of use.  ChampCar aims to comply with SFI and align with industry trends, so we are recommending that any SFI harnesses be in date, regardless of conformance tag style.   In order to allow members time to comply, we will begin REQUIRING all SFI certified harnesses used in ChampCar display an in-date conformance label ON July 1st, 2022.  ChampCar will be making a mid-year revision to our BCCR to reflect this change.   This change does not affect FIA certified harnesses.   If
