Drift Utah - Rule Set
2 REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT
2.1 HELMET
Only helmets certified to meet the following standards are permitted:
•Snell Memorial Foundation – SA2005, SA2010 • SFI Foundation –
Spec 31.2, Spec 31.2A
•British Helmet Standard – BS 6658:1958
2.2 HELMET VISOR
If the helmet has no visor eye protection must be worn
2.3 DRIVING SUIT
One-piece driving suits are required and must be made of fire-resistant material and
certified to SFI spec 3/2A-1 or greater, or homologated to “FIA 2000” specs, which
effectively covers the body, including neck, ankles and wrists. Multi-layer driving suits
are recommended.
Fire-resistant underwear is recommended. Fire resistant gloves, shoes, and socks are recommended. Socks must be made of fire-resistant material. Shoes and gloves must be made of leather, or any other approved fire-resistant material and must be free of holes, tears or other openings except those made by the manufacturer of the equipment.
2.4 RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
SFI Certification – Harness systems may be certified to SFI spec 16.1 or 16.5 and shall bear the appropriate label(s) on shoulder belts, lap belts and sub-straps.
Each harness is punched with the year and month of manufacture. This certification
shall expire (2) years after the punched month and date on the belt. SFI 16.1 belts
must have a 3 inch lap belt. SFI 16.5 belts may have a 2 in lap belt. 2 in Head and Neck Restraint specific shoulders harnesses are permitted when used with an approved SFI 38.1 Head and
neck restraint.
FIA Certification –Harness systems may be homologated by the FIA to specification
8853/98, and shall bear the appropriate label(s) on each element of the belt. FIA belts
are dated with an expiration year with the belts expiring on December 31st of the year
punched or printed on the FIA tags.
Regardless of the date of manufacture, the safety harness shall be replaced if the
webbing is cut/ frayed, if any of the buckles are bent/cracked, if the car has been in
a severe impact, or at the direction of the TECHNICAL MANAGER. If any of these
conditions exist, the TECHNICAL MANAGER shall cut the certification labels off of the
harness. The team will then have to replace the belt.
2.5 SEATS
All cars must have a seat for the driver. Seats must be homologated to FIA standard
8855-1999 or SFI 39.2.
*If seats are not FIA compliant team must get a preapproved tech sticker prior to the
competition.
2.6 ROLL CAGES
Roll cages are required.
2.6.1 BASIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A. 2013 competition vehicles may compete with a four point cage with single
door bar minimum (on preapproval by GGD tech manager or chief steward). This is
substantially less then you will need to move onto Formula Drift.
B. The basic purpose of the roll cage is to protect the occupant if the car turns over,
runs into an obstacle, or is struck by another car. It shall be designed to withstand
compression forces from the weight of the car coming down on the rollover
structure and to take fore/aft and lateral loads resulting from the car skidding along
on its rollover structure.
C. Forward braces and portions of the main hoop subject to contact by the occupant’s
helmet (as seated normally and restrained by seatbelt/shoulder harness) shall be
padded with non-resilient material. Ethafoam® or Ensolite®, or other similar material
with a minimum thickness of one-half (1/2) inch and conforming to SFI spec 45.1
is required.
2.6.2 GENERAL CONSTRUCTION
All roll cages must be based on a single Main Hoop of one (1) continuous length of
tubing with smooth continuous bends and no evidence of crimping or wall failure.
The radius of bends in the roll cage hoop (measured at centerline of tubing) shall not
be less than three (3) times the diameter of the tubing.
Welding shall conform to American Welding Society D1.1:2002, Structural
Welding Code, Steel Chapter 10, Tubular Structures. Whenever D1.1 refers to “the
Engineer” this shall be interpreted to be the owner of the vehicle. Welds shall be
continuous around the entire tubular structure. All welds shall be visually inspected
and shall be acceptable if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. The weld shall have no cracks.
2. Thorough fusion shall exist between weld metal and base metal.
3. All craters shall be filled to the cross section of the weld.
4. Undercut shall be no more than 0.01 inch deep.
Aluminum bronze or silicon bronze welding technique is permitted, but extreme care
shall be used in preparation of parts before bronze welding and in the design of the
attaching joints.
No portion of the cage may permeate the firewall and shall be fully contained within
the occupant’s compartment.
The main components of the cage must be made of the same material, size and
thickness of tubing.
2.6.3 ROLL CAGE MATERIAL
Seamless SAE 1020 or 1025, etc. mild steel tubing (DOM) is the preferred material
for Roll Cage construction. Please contact GGD for approval if any alloy material
will be used. An approved supplier MUST construct alloy steel cages. ERW tubing is
not permitted.
2.6.4 INSPECTION HOLE
An inspection hole at least 3/16 inch diameter, but no greater than 1/4 inch
diameter, shall be drilled in a non-critical area of all tubes to facilitate verification of
wall thickness.
2.6.5 MAIN HOOP:
The main roll hoop (behind the driver) shall extend the full width of the
driver/passenger compartment and shall be as near the roof as possible with a
maximum of 4 bends, totaling 180 degrees ± 10degrees.
The roll cage Main Hoop should start from the floor of the car, and, in the case
of tube frame construction, be attached to the chassis tubes by means of gussets
or sheet metal webs with support tubes beneath the joints to distribute the loads. It
is recommended that gussets be used.
The Main Hoop shall incorporate a diagonal lateral brace to prevent lateral
distortion of the hoop. Any number of additional reinforcing bars is permitted within
the structure of the cage.
A section of tubing equal to the roll bar shall be installed horizontally from the
main hoop to the diagonal brace behind the drivers seat. This tube shall be no higher
than shoulder height and continue from the diagonal to the passenger side main
hoop upright.
2.6.6 FRONT/SIDE HOOPS:
The front hoops, side hoops, or down tubes shall begin at the floor.
Several configurations are allowed:
Side Hoop Configuration: Side Hoops connect directly from the floor of the occupant’s
compartment and continue, in one piece, to connect to the Main Hoop. If Side Hoops
are used, they are to be connected together by a single horizontal tube across the
top of the windshield with a maximum of 4 bends totaling 90 degrees ± 10 degrees.
Front Hoop Configuration: A front hoop connected to the floor on both sides of the
occupant compartment and following the line of the front pillars in one continuous
piece may be used. A front hoop must be connected at the top by horizontal bars
running back to the main hoop on each side, above the doors with a maximum of
4 bends, totaling 180 degrees ± 10degrees.
HALO Configuration: A top “halo” hoop following the roofline in one continuous piece from each side of the main hoop along the tops of the doors and windshield. A HALO
must be connected to the floor with forward “down tubes” following the line of the
front pillars with a maximum of 4 bends, totaling 180 degrees ± 10degrees and a
maximum of 2 bends allowed on the down tubes. The front, side or down hoops may
extend through the dash pad, including the forward part of the door panel if it is an
extension of the dash panel.
One (1) “Knee” bar is recommended in a horizontal plane between forward
cage braces in the dash area for all configurations.
2.6.7 REAR HOOP SUPPORTS:
The main roll hoop shall have two braces extending to the rear attaching to the frame
or chassis. Braces shall be attached as near as possible to the top of the main
hoop not more than six (6) inches below the top and at an included angle of at least
thirty (30) degrees. No bends are allowed on rear braces. On cars where the rear
window/bulkhead prohibits the installation of rear braces, the main hoop shall be
attached to the body by plates welded to the cage and bolted to the stock shoulder
harness mounting points.
2.6.8 BOLT IN ROLL CAGES
Bolt In roll cages are not allowed, unless welded in.
2.6.9 SUPPLEMENTAL BRACING:
Supplemental bracing is allowed.
2.6.10 SIDE PROTECTION:
All cars shall have a minimum of one (1) door bar across each front door opening. If
two (2) bars are used, the door bars may run parallel, or in the shape of an “X”. If the
two door bars do not intersect as they do when forming an “X”, then a minimum of
two vertical tube sections shall connect the upper and lower door bars. Drivers may
also choose to install a second row of double horizontal door bars that run parallel to
the inner bars and extend into the outer door skin, these are also known as “NASCARSTYLE” bars. In this configuration, the outer bars must also have a minimum of two
(2) vertical tube sections connecting the upper and lower bars. The inner door panel
and door internals may be removed.
2.6.11 MOUNTING PLATES:
Each mounting plate shall be at least .080” thick.
2.6.11.2
Mounting plates must be fully welded to the structure of the vehicle.
2.6.11.3
Each mounting plate shall not be greater than 100 square inches and shall be no
greater than twelve (12) inches or less than two (2) inches on a side. The mounting
plate may be multi-angled but must not exceed these dimensions in a flat plane.
2.6.11.4
Whenever possible, mounting plates shall extend onto a vertical section of the
structure (such as a rocker box or door pillar).
2.6.11.5
Any number of tubes may attach to a single plate or to each other.
*If car does not conform to these specs please contact GGD for tech inspection prior
to competition by tech manager or cheif steward.
2.7 MOUNTING HARDWARE (BOLTS)
All hardware used in the mounting of seats, or other structural supports shall be SAE
Grade 5 or better with a 5/16” minimum diameter.
2.8 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
