TAGUSA comments on starter problems on the grid

[Brad Linkus]

We have always let the TAGS use a remote starter for the CSC if necessary. The starter does not affect the performance. I think their rule change is long overdue.

Do you get to keep your position on grid, or do you have to start at the back, like the old TAGUSA rules state?

You are not penalized for using a remote starter.

[Brian Robson]

CSC 2006 rule book did penalize competitors for using an external method of starting the kart.

10.3.1 Starter Engine must have all the starter components intact and working properly. If alternative methods other than the onboard starter are used to start the engine the competitor must go to the rear of the grid. A jumper battery pack for the purpose of starting on grid connected to the battery only will be allowed.

We sent someone to the rear of the grid at our July race for this reason. We were going by the (CSC’s) rules.

This must be clarifyed as we move forward.

Thanks,
BR
