SCCA Club Rules for Midget 1500s

I'm particularly curious about the carburetor specifications.

If I'm reading the lines correctly for the 1500 under HP & GP categories, the ZS carb is illegal, as is my single HS4. They only call out Twin HS2s or HS4s.

What am I missing here? I was certain a single HS4 was legal based on what other forum members have done.
 
Looking again at HP, it just seems contradictory. I'm required to keep my stock manifold, but required to run two carbs. LOL
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gifIn IT it is legal for us to run w/o fuel cells. (Stock Tank)

I failed tech one time for not having a PROPER roll over valve. (Nit Pik)

I said........"You want me to put the original PINTO tank back in?" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif
 
LOL. That is pretty nit picky.

Actually, I don't even know if I have a rollover valve. Have to add that to the 'to-do' list if I decide to try the spridget in club racing.
 
So after I put the roll over valve in....I figure everything is OK right?.......

6 laps into the race I get meat-balled at Mid Ohio for spewing gas.....WTH?

For some reason all 3 Pintos get impounded??? (nobody else)
(We're thinking the Miatas complained)
Lord knows no one wants passed by a Pinto

Anyway, I was light.....So I fill all the way to the top & hop back on the scales......10# over......Cool.

Except my new roll over valve was not keeping the fuel in on left-handers.....

NOW MY POINT TO YOU......

Loop your breather line high above the fuel cell and bring it down low.......The valves won't stop fuel surge.
 
What we do on the offroad rigs, it run the breather line 360-degrees around the fuel cell, left-to-right or right-to-left (not front and back), then run the breather a litte way up a roll cage member. This way, in a flop or flip, there's always a part of the breather line above the tank.
 
You can kind of see what I'm talking about here:

The breather line is the one on the passenger side. It runs over to the drivers side, around the tank, then back up the radiator mount brace.

At least I got to pass a few Miatas......
That must have made thier skin itch /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
