2010 Drift Build Questions

[Jay Rockett]

It says you need a min of a 7 point or better roll cage. I understand where a 6 point connects to the body, but what is the 7th point?

Do you need a fixed rear diagonal or will a bolt in one do?

7th is the diagonal rear, joining the bottom most rear part of the cage to the top, i presume it has to be fixed..

Is there just the two competitions; Amateur/Pro?

3 classes - Amateurs, Non-Seeded Pro and Pro.. (Non-Seeded is the Semi-Pro equivalent of previous years)

Where do people generally put the Cut off switches on the cars (i've an R32)

The pull side for the marshals is generally on the bulkhead on the passenger side, or fixed to the corner of the bonnet.. The cut-off for the driver
inside is within the reach of the driver while strapped in, anywhere in the cockpit..

And finally, do cars have to have bonnet pins or am i reading that wrong?

Yes, standard bonnet and boot latches need to be removed and pins installed so marshals can open either, incase of emergency!

On a differant note, does anyone know if anyone else plans on running any drift events other than PD in ireland next year?

UDC, the Ulster Drift Championship run events up north.. As of yet Prodrift and UDC are the only current run drift events in Ireland, apart from practise days!
