You probably won't get a response - that email address goes to NASA's regional chief of roadracing, time trial, and HPDE technical inspection (Richard Mitchum) who has nothing to do with autocross rules whatsoever.

Richard does some awesome work on lots of stuff. Next time you're over there, ask him to show you the Rolex GT Porsche 997 he's responsible for the care & feeding of... it's gorgeous.

Back on topic, to the OP, I'm getting an official clarification on this question from the national office. Feel free to email anytime.

Jon

OOPS, NASA vs. SCCA... foot in mouth that time. You know what I meant though....

Either way, Rules is Rules and you have to get with the sanctionnig body to get any kind of real answer...

BTW: I thought NASA handled the space shuttle?

Agreed re: rules, which is why the OP has been told exactly who to talk to, and how to talk to 'em, above.

One NASA launches space shuttles, the other NASA launches racing careers.

The OP may want to email this question to NASA's regional autocross director... Jon Felton, nasa-x at get-fast.net

or

NASA's national autocross director and the guy who co-wrote the very rules he questions... Jon Felton, nasa-x at get-fast.net

That guy posts here sometimes too!
lol
