IMPORTANT BULLETIN FOR ALL COMPETITORS |
|
IHRA - 19/06/2019
|
Attention Competitors -
Professional / Sportsman
Please ensure that everyone in your race
team reads and understands the ban on
leaded racing fuels at all IHRA
Australia sanctioned events. As you are
aware the ban comes into place on July
1st 2019, effecting the sport as a
whole. This means that fuel suppliers
are no longer allowed to sell or give
away any racing fuels to any teams that
contain "LEAD"
Please understand that if you have any
leftover racing fuel that contains Lead
you will not be able to bring it to the
racetrack. There will be strict
sanctions imposed on any competitor
caught. |
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO RACERS?
As part of IHRA Australia's
ongoing fuel testing, it will be policy
that random fuel samples will be
collected and tested by IHRA Australia
Stewards after a run has been completed.
Fuel samples will be sent for further
independent analysis after each event.
If the sample returns a positive for
lead, the competitor will be in breach
of Section13 Racing Fuels Approvals
(Unleaded) as set down by the minister
for the Environment and Energy Hon Josh
Frydenberg MP as 16th December 2016
As a
result any competitor returning a
positive fuel result will be faced with
a 12 month suspension and a $5000
monetary fine. |
