A How-To for Car Owners/Drivers

Annual Tech Inspection

Your Annual Tech Inspection must be completed each year before you can race.

1. Print the Annual Tech and Safety Inspection form. Fill out everything but the Event.
2. Thoroughly inspect the car and check off (in the Driver column) all the items on the list. Sign the form.
3. Take your car to an Annual Tech site or ask a tech inspector to come see your car. You will need:
   • a floor jack and all tools necessary to remove your wheels and check the brakes, and
   • all your driver’s safety gear and your co-driver’s safety gear.

   You can also have a qualified shop, mechanic, or tech inspector thoroughly inspect the car and check off each item in the Tech column. Make sure they know what’s expected of an Annual Tech inspection; you can download a copy of the Tech Manual from the RMVR website.

4. If your car passes, the tech inspector will put an Annual Tech sticker in your log book, sign both the log book and the form, and put a current tech sticker on your helmet.
   If your car does not pass, the tech inspector will note what needs to be fixed in your log book and on the form. You will need to fix those before your Annual Tech can be completed.
5. Keep the form and bring it to your first event as evidence of your Annual inspection.

Event Tech Inspection

If you have a completed Annual Tech inspection:

1. Present your Annual Tech and Safety Inspection form, your log book, and your helmet with a current tech sticker to a tech inspector. If there are any comments on the form or in your log book, the tech inspector will check those on your car to make sure they’re fixed.
2. The tech inspector will sign your log book on the page for that event and give you a signed or initialed Event Tech sticker to put on your car.
   If the tech inspector doesn’t know the shop or mechanic who performed your Annual Tech inspection, they may re-inspect some of the more critical things on your car before signing your log book and giving you an Event Tech sticker.

If you do not have a completed Annual Tech inspection:
You will need to have one performed at the track. See Annual Tech Inspection above for what you need to do and bring. A tech inspector will get to your car as soon as they have time, but cars with completed Annual Tech inspections take precedence.

Regular Event Tech Inspection

1. Print and fill out the Event Tech and Safety Inspection form.
2. Thoroughly inspect the car and check off (in the Driver column) all the items on the list. Sign the form.

Note: You are solely responsible for checking your driver safety equipment and your frame. If you fail to use your driver safety equipment, you likely will be turned away at the grid or black-flagged while on the track.

3. Present your form, your log book, and your helmet with a current tech sticker to a tech inspector, who will inspect the car and check off each item in the Tech column. They will also closely inspect any issues previously noted in the log book.
4. If your car passes, the tech inspector will sign your log book and the form and give you a signed or initialed Event Tech sticker to put on your car.
   If your car does not pass, the tech inspector will note in your log book and on the form the items that need to be fixed before you can race. If you can fix them that day or that weekend, you can have the same tech inspector re-inspect those items and still get to race.

The 1959, 1967, 1972 & 1979 SCCA General Competition Rules (GCR) are the basis for competing in RMVR events. It is the owner’s responsibility to read and understand these rules before constructing a racecar. The SCCA 1954-1972 GCR is not available online or from RMVR; it can be purchased from the SCCA at Vintage/Historic GCR & Specs. Stay tuned for information about the 1979 GCR.

Race participants may register by downloading RMVR club forms from the RMVR web site. Guests should complete the Car Eligibility and Trans-Am Event Entry forms and mail them to RMVR with entry fee. Carry a completed Tech form with you to the track. RMVR uses the AMB TransX260 or TransXPro transponder for timing and scoring. All race entrants are strongly encouraged to utilize a transponder for this event. Event Entry forms must be received two weeks prior to the race.

Cars participating in the Trans-Am Group 3 must meet the eligibility criteria. Drivers must hold a current vintage competition license from a recognized vintage racing club. At registration, each driver will be required to present their competition license (or student log book), proof of a current medical exam, and a photo ID. All cars will be required to pass a technical inspection at the track. For more information, please look at RMVR’s General Rules and Safety Requirements.

The track will be available for Test & Tune on Friday. Those unfamiliar with the track are strongly encouraged to arrive on or before Friday to practice and learn Pueblo’s challenging road course. The track management will collect T&T fees directly at the gate.

This event will include a special track-side dinner Saturday evening. Dinner activities will begin at the conclusion of racing around 5 pm and continue until dark. Dinner will include open beer and wine bar. One dinner ticket is included with each race entry.
