Race Memo RM 20-03
“In anticipation of the large number of drivers who will need an Annual Technical Inspection when
racing resumes and a likely reduction in volunteers, we are proposing the following temporary change to
annual inspection expiration dates.
In GCR Section 5.9.2.A Annual Inspection, add verbiage as follows:
A car must have full and complete Annual Technical Inspection by a tech inspector holding either a
Divisional, National or Senior license once a year (12 months). For 2020 only, current annual technical
Show 28 more lines
inspections will be extended 3 months past their original expiration date (valid for a total of 15
months). All expiration extensions will end on 12/31/2020. For example, an original expiration date of
June 15, 2020 will have an extended expiration of September 15, 2020. All inspections with an original
expiration date between September – December 2020, will have an extended expiration date of
12/31/2020. If the car passes the inspection, the tech inspector enters the date of the safety harness
expiration in the Vehicle Logbook and then stamps, decals, or inscribes approval; dates and signs the
Vehicle Logbook. The driver’s safety equipment does not have to be inspected at the same time the car
is inspected, but it must be inspected by or at the driver’s first race of each calendar year. An Annual
Tech expiring on a race weekend is valid for the full weekend. (See 9.3. Driver’s Safety Equipment)
Note: This extension does not extend the expiration dates for Safety Equipment (Seat belts, Fire
systems, etc.).

• Schedule additional time pre-event for annual inspections
• Depending on event tech staffing and demands, assign one or two tech inspectors to perform
annual inspections only during the event weekend “
