Withdrawal of FIA – Approved Safety Seat

December 15, 2014

During the internal quality control process of the competition seats certified
to the FIA 8855-1999 Standard, RECARO found that the Pole Position seat
with the homologation number CS.997.00 does not comply with all the
requirements defined in the FIA 8855-1999 standard.
The FIA therefore decided that for safety reasons the homologation of the
following competition seat, whatever the manufacturing date, is withdrawn
with immediate effect:

Manufacturer: RECARO GmbH&Co

Model: POLE POSITION

Homologation Number: CS.997.00

As these seats can no longer be considered as complying with the FIA 8855-
1999 standard, their use is prohibited in all cases in which compliance with
the above-mentioned standard is mandatory.
Please note that a complete and up-to-date list of competition seats
homologated according to the FIA 8855-1999 standard may at any time be
accessed on the FIA website (http://www.fia.com/sport/homologation).

Hi All,

From Cindy Spencer:

Wayne Pitts and I were organizing the first RallyCross event of the year, and with the help/input of some BAC members we have come to a decision regarding the BAC Rally Cross event for November 23rd.

It was not an easy decision to make as we all want to be out on the lot ASAP, however, if we want to preserve the fun all season we are going to have to cancel Rally Cross for November 23rd.

The big lot and the small lot both still have cars in them, and they will not be gone before Sunday. The third lot on the other side of the track near the paddock/pit area that has been investigated for use now has a small lake in it, and the chances of it being dried up, or frozen by Sunday are slim. So to avoid rutting it up and freezing into ruts, ruining future events, we’re cancelling.

Pray to the rally gods for cold weather to freeze up the ground so we can run December 7th at SSW. If the big lot and small lot are still full of cars on December 7th, we will run on the (even) smaller third lot.
