Hi Erich
One thing to note from Marks photos is some of the car look like road going cars. I don't race in VSCC but for a vintage road cars in hill climbs the MSA / UK Motor Sport accept the ignition key / switch with a sticker showing the direction and don't require a separate kill switch. The regs over here exceptions for vintage cars but are written more for modern cars and take a bit of re reading to see what is required.
The regs in the UK are
Period Defined Vehicles (Non-Rally) Historic Vehicles – Cars which are either original competition cars or cars built to exactly the same specification as models with national or international competition history complying with the rules of the period.
A1 – (Veteran) Cars of a specification valid before 1 Jan 1905.
B1 – (Edwardian) Cars of a specification valid between 1 Jan 1905 and 31 Dec 1918.
C1 – (Vintage) Cars of a specification valid between 1 Jan 1919 and 31 Dec 1930.
D1 – (Post Vintage Thoroughbred) Cars of a specification valid between 1 Jan 1931 and 31 Dec 1946.
E1 – Cars of a specification valid between 1 Jan 1947 and 31 Dec 1961 (up to 31 Dec 1960 for single seater and two seater racing cars).
10.6.3. An external circuit breaker to K.8 is mandatory for all cars except open cars of periods A – E (Nomenclature and Definitions) and cars licensed for road use (when it is recommended).
People still fit them for safety etc but this does make it a bit complicated to work out what is / not required. You may want to double check the regs you are racing under or have a chat with someone who is already racing in the championship you plan to race.
Mark can I use the photo of the dash badge on the blue car on my website...
