ESC mandatory

[Baz]

This afternoon, I sent a comprehensive email to Robert Jacobs, Editor of Kustom Kit Car magazine in South Australia. I have asked him to run an article in his great little publication so that ALL Kit Car Manufacturers, not only Cobra people, become aware of this ridiculous ESC Amendment ADR 31/02.

Good stuff Baz,

There was actually a comment in the most recent magazine, but from memory it was very little. That is what sparked me to search the net and then start this thread.

Kit Car mag would be a good avenue to use. Any idea of how many readers they have?

I am going to write a letter to the minister in the next couple of days as per Ian's post. I just dont know if it will get read though.

I received an email back from Robert Jacobs, Editor of Kustom Kit car Magazine and he is running an article on this topic in the next Issue No. 8. Thanks Robert.

Tonight I sent an email to John Staszynski in S.A. requesting information from him in relation to a similar campaign he ran a while back.

I am mid way through drafting Representations to the NSW Shadow Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian. We have a State Election coming up shortly and it would appear that she will be our new Transport Minister, so the time is right.

I will also be writing to the Federal Transport Minister, Anthony Albanese in Canberra requesting an urgent amendment to the ESC ADR 31/02, exempting ICV's, Replica's and Kit Cars.

I urge each reader of this Thread to write to their respective State Transport Ministers requesting the introduction of the new 'Replica Category' for Registration purposes, along with all the exemptions afforded to the Street Rod fraternity. A further letter of Representations should also be sent to the Federal Minister for Transport, Anthony Albabese at the address shown by Ian from Classic Revival in Thread No. 82.

In order to keep us motivated and to provide some measure of participation, please indicate on this thread or send me a PM when you made those Representations and to whom on what date?

Cobra Club Presidents in each State should also organise their Committees to make similar Representations. A record should also be made either on this Thread or by PM to me as to who was contacted and when.

Thanks for your support.

Rebel 1 supplied me with John Staszynski's email address. I used it to send him and email, but it came back 'undeliverable - address not known'.

Could someone in S.A. send me his new email address by P.M. please.

Baz, just double check the address I sent you to the one on the following Snakebite site:

Should be the same ... if so John has changed address.

Here is some more info from Anthony Albanese site.

http://www.anthonyalbanese.com.au/fi...XNW/index.html

"I have now signed into law new regulations requiring this life saving technology to be fitted to all new models of passenger vehicles from November 2011 and all models from November 2013."

So obviously car manufacturers have 2 years to phase it in.

How do we get this thread as a sticky?

The document is here.

I have just drafted a letter to Anthony Albanese. I am thinking about doing up a partition to take to the nationals on Saturday to get signatures. Is there any one on here with a stand that i might be able to leave it on?

Les,

That is the same one that you gave me. I will try and ring him tonight. Thanks for your help.

Baz

Les,

I spoke with John on the phone tonight. Will be catching up with him at the Nationals on Sunday.


You have a PM

Baz

Baz, Gudonya Mate, I will draft letters tonight as you suggest.

I will inform you when these have been sent as requested.
