Thanks to all for getting the forms in eventually, You should be receiving your Incarace licence shortly, that's if you filled it all out correct if not you will receive it back to sort. Please take note of the DVD you will also get as some changes that effect us all.
Important Info
All you should shortly receive a DVD from ORCi please take note of the contents as their are a few changes that effect us racing including flags happy viewing!
Engine Seals
Please don't forget to have them engines pre drilled through front fins to take 2.5m wire seal - combining head and block, I now have the seals to fit to all cars including roll cage seals (No need to do anything for these) all individual numbers which will be recorded and one off's no replica numbers.
The first seals will be FOC both engine and roll cage but any replacements will be charged out at £17.00 per seal even when removed to inspect or you are given authorisation to remove, if engine protested and found legal the cost will come from protest fund if found illegal from your pocket - sorry but these are more expensive than first anticipated and have to be paid for from some where, I will seal all new cars from now and anyone is welcome to inspect any of these including my car the Tech inspector will have records of numbers against each car combining roll cage seal car ID and engine seal which everyone can question through driver rep Tech rep at any time any spare engines you will have to pay for the seal for these.
No One will be allowed to participate without the seal being in place if removed without authorisation then as per the rule book you will be subject to a fine, ban, loss of points etc.
I am assured these are completely tamper proof and you cannot cut and rejoint as the wire frays automatically, the body is a high tensile type anodised, with all individual numbers not repeated and specific for our series so you can not purchase that number ever again, As they have stated once sealed the only way to remove is to cut through wire.

Have you got the I Factor?
In an attempt to provide the more grass roots and basic of our formulas and visiting formulas more racing on our tracks in 2010, we are announcing a series of events at both Birmingham Wheels and Northampton where we will be running quick fire races, all non contact with five, six and sometimes seven formulas racing on the same night.
It really will be action all of the way for both spectators and fans, with a really quick turnaround on races, no waiting for stragglers in the pits – if a car isn’t ready, then unfortunately it will be shut out. Trophies will be provided for the 1st three in the finals.
There are eight events altogether, including the I Factor Finals night which will be at Birmingham Wheels on Saturday 13th November 2010, with Championship races for all formulas based on the points scored in all of the I Factor Race Events throughout the year.
All people, including the driver will pay to come into each of these meetings, but as has been murmured in the press and on the terraces, these are not Pay to Race events as such, i.e. there will not be a race fee to pay each time you enter.
The I Factor Race Events will start at the earlier than normal time of 6pm. There will be the normal paid Practice available between 2.30pm and 5pm, and then pre-meeting practice from 5.15 to 5.45pm, all ready then for a prompt 6.00pm start.
