ROL NEWS--New Sky Ripper Hybrids Certified

Mar 29, 2005 57 Replies

Not a valid solution. The internet is the way to go, unless you want to be the guy that prints and sends all the new stuff whenever a motor gets certified! How would TRA members get it without a SASE? What about NAR S&T and NAR Members (and CAR Members) as these motors will be "cross certified"?

I think it's important that the motor info on the TRA and NAR websites contains the info as required for an AHJ per NFPA 112x (they might not be the "law" in all states, but they are the rules that TRA/NAR live by...)

When I was doing a lot of RSO'ing, I used to have a copy of this data at launches, so if there was any question as to cert status or the "fly by" date, I has something that was at most a couple months old...

Because It did not happen.

Giving yourself a "hummer"?

Yes jerry, there's this thing they got now, it's called the internet, maybe you've heard of it.

S*&t, all of "big fines" claims are irrelevant, especially when they are TRA specific. "big fine" has no TRA membership status.. Is it time for more "big fine" FAQ??

See Phil, "big fine" still takes liberties with the truth...

And LAW in 32+ states.

LAW like in Felony?

Makes perfect sense.

Not possible today.

Anyone can buy hardware, regardless of cert status. Of course, you know that, you're just trying to stir up crap, as usual.

One thing to note is that the portions that Jerry posted do NOT indicate a required timeframe, nor do they state that it's "not valid until posted publicly". They do say the information has to be made available to people who request it.

It's not just TRA who has problems with getting information out quickly, and completely. Someone recently told me that TRA certs from MANY months ago did not appear on the joint cert list published by NAR S&T, even though those certs happened months before, and the head of NAR S&T and the head of CAR motor testing is copied on the announcement for all TRA certs.

I can say that Paul is working on changes to the TMT portion of the TRA website, to better enable him to get more information there more quickly. That effort also includes having someone produce thrust curves in RASP format.

I don't know when that work will be done, as it's an arrangement between Paul and the person he's working with.

Submit your request by mail, with an enclosed, self-addressed stamped envelope. h

I guess weather you get a response will prove it one way or the other.

Jerry can't do that because he might get a response. Of course that would allow him to whine about not getting a response soon enough.

Hi Kevin

"NO" complaints with TMT on my end, the recent West Coast Cert's are up on the site, even thought the links to the thrust curves were inop or incorrect...

Paul is doing a great job and goes out of his way to aid manufacturers... I sure the SRS curves will be up before too long and then everyone will be happy....

Cheer's Scott, West Coast Hybrids.....

These people are too busy avoiding the truth about their foibles to update a website.

I guess you know how much time and effort that takes.
