Rules

Adger, you missed my point that if a visual inspection revealed a problem, even sun discoloration, then they need to be replaced.
That could mean replacing every race if there is something wrong!
A brand new set of belts, if improperly installed, will not be fully functional and are subject to failure.
A set of belts that look as good as new, are as good as new in my opinion.
Anything less, needs a replacement set.

I may be wrong but I think belts for fighter planes and sprint cars are not replaced on a calendar, only on poor quality.

Unless something has changed, in the '80s we had to have new belts in our sprint cars every year. May have just been local, but I don't think so.

Here's what I'd like to see....scale, fuel check 1st pass.... then the only way you go back is if you go quicker or have a heads-up run! Would speed things up so much!

Amen, what a waste of time scale and fuel is for the most part. When you need to get back for a second car its even worse.
