$30 per Adult competition licence from the four-wheeled classes is earmarked for expenditure on Technical requirements. Motorcycle and Youth competitors do not contribute to the fund. This was an area of major focus this season, and some of the highlights included:
All existing equipment was returned to SNZ Head Office for servicing and assessment. As a result, some equipment was refurbished and other new equipment was purchased. For example, all five sets of SNZ scales were calibrated on the same day, using the same load to ensure consistency. Two Technical Stewards attended the major allocated titles where possible, to ensure greater coverage and more thorough inspections. This could be responsible for an increase in the technical infringements issued this season, up from 2 last year to 11 in 2011/12. 123 fuel samples were also taken, with Asure Quality again undertaking the testing on our behalf. No irregularities were found, which is pleasing to note.
