"secondary bonnet restraints have been a concern to many for ages. While technically everyone had to have them, it was not really policed by scrutineers and this was a big big risk to organisers should the unlikely happen. Well good news for all.....


SCHEDULE B – BONNET RESTRAINTS
The Board noted the recommendation of the Australian Sport & Club Development Commission that within Schedule B for road registered cars, a standard two stage fastener would be appropriate in speed events such as supersprints and hillclimbs and the regulations have been updated to provide clarification.

It is common practice for many competitors in speed events to fit a retention device under the bonnet, this type of fastening will be specifically provided for and may be used in speed events for non-road registered vehicles instead of the requirements for race meetings.

These changes and clarifications are designed to encourage participation in these predominantly club level events and will be implemented in the 2012 CAMS Manual of Motor Sport.
