I watched a Jacky Ding video the other day, supercharged S2000, sequential, aero, wide wheels, so potential for big speeds - zero requirement for a roll cage but must run windows down.
The other guy of Gears and Gasoline with the Civic, highly tuned, aero, wide wheels, completely stripped out - ok he had a cage, runs windows down, is allowed to drive at full pace in shorts and tee - no fire retardant clothing at all. Seems crazy to me.

I really don’t understand some of the regs out your way.

Windows up is a hazard. As someone who's had a shattered driver's window get sent into his car and spent over 5 hours in the ER getting glass and metal slivers removed from his face and neck I can assure you running windows down is way more safe.
The block needs to be vented, not just the valve cover. Evacuating CC pressure closer to the source keeps pressure out of the head and allows for better drain back. Also, cap the rear valve cover port or leave the stock PCV valve. It will always see liquid oil go into it under accel, there is pretty much no way around that.

If you had a full face helmet on getting glass sprayed at you isnt an issue.
Ive seen a rollover crash in a honda civic infront of me where 2 people got badly hurt and a photographer captured the sequence in slo mo and u can see the passengers arm come out the window and go back in again. If your arm landed the wrong way bye bye arm.
The rules you guys have up there in some parts are bizarre. You guys are way stricter or licensing and training and what not but way more casual on general safety it blows my mind.
We dont have any windows up windows down rules here but you must wear at least cotton overalls no matter what event your doing and a full face helmet although it can have an open front and no visor like those stilo rally ones. most tracks here are mandatory no passengers and head restraint devices also now.

The SCCA Time Trial program I'm in allows shorts and tshirts but everything should be made of cotton including underwear. Covid also introduced self-car-inspection which is cool. No more explaining to random mechanic what you plan to do lol
Rules are different with race compound tires. I think TT is technically not wheel-to-wheel racing thats why its more relaxed, waiting for an accident/incidents before they make adjustments
I think we also let more of the younger generation to run the new programs

I still have some issues with pushing oil out the rocker cover on tracks with long right hand corners. Just bought a Kiggly HLA to try assist with that.

Depends on the kind of track your racing at. Looks like they were at VIR which has a couple long sweeping right hand corners which would be hard on the engines oil system.

The arm out the window thing is exactly why wrist restrains, arm nets, and window nets exist. The big crash that happened 10 years ago with that evo on Pikes Peak, if you watch in slowmo there is an arm out the window as the car is rolling. Safety is often overlooked, but at the end of the day, it's the driver's job to ensure that they feel safe enough with what they have.
Things are generally more lax in TA or TT settings. When you get into W2W racing it is considerably more strict.

That looks like a pretty good system. also good to get the kiggly in there and baffle the rocker cover.

Yea return is a must. Although youd want to be doing regular oil changes as it will mix all the fuel vapour and contaminates that generally collect in a catch can back into your oil.

Hello fellow corpses, Still kicking it from the dead!
Over the past week i have installed my new Kiggly HLA and done some additional sealing around the rocker cover to prevent the venting issue i had at certain circuits with long right hand sweepers!
Also i had to pull off my sump to have the turbo drain fitting replaced with a weld in fitting as it was leaking quite bad. the threads were damaged after it had initially cracked around the threaded portion of the sump. While it was off i threw some new big end bearings in for good measure. Usually i do this over winter but with 1 round to go in our championship and 95% of the way there i figured might aswell just do it now.
