2016 Summer Fest & Field Day Vehicle Inspection List
Posted: Sun May 29, 2016 10:33 am
As noted in the Fest Event Rules posted in this forum, we have implemented a basic vehicle inspection for our Fest events for those who will be going on any OAUSA trail run. The goal is not to get carried away, but just to run through a simple checklist to ensure vehicles meet basic safety requirements, that recovery equipment is carried, that the driver is properly licensed, and the vehicle registered and insurance is current. The checklist items are listed below.
We want everyone to take this seriously and recognize that this process will help ensure their own safety as well as the safety of others at the event.
The items that we believe are critical are as follows. You will need to show us a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. We will also be looking carefully at those inspection items that are important to ensure your vehicle is basically safe, such as good tires, seat belts, proper exhaust, properly installed batteries, and so forth. Finally, we'll be looking for good spare tires, tools to change tires, and vehicle recovery points. We want to make sure you can make it through the run, and if there is a need, we can get your vehicle unstuck. If you don't have a fire extinguisher, a recovery strap or a first aid kit, we highly recommend you get them.
As always, alcohol will not be allowed on these runs.
We plan to perform inspections before your run is scheduled.
NOTE: Your vehicle must be completely street legal.
Thanks is advance for your cooperation.
