Terry Everall Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You need a log book before you arrive at an event for scrutineering The is usually a list of people who will do them in your local area. The MSA may keep a list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 so I need to phone them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think you can get a scrutineer to do it on the day but you would probably need to organise this in advance and also take the correct photos with you and £25 Probably easier and more relaxed to do it on a separate day using a local scrut if you can find one. Thats what I did with my busa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkm_dave Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Might be worth contacting the chief scrutineer for the first event you're doing and check if they can do you a log book sometime during the day and scrutineer your car accordingly, based on the knowledge that while you're not compliant during scrutineering you will be later in the day. I did this at Aintree a couple of years ago with Chris Mansley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 would rather get done before as first event is Rockingham and last year it was a little busy .plus with all the new rules and helmet sticker for new helmet etc msa going to be earning a few quid this year on loggy books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry H Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Mike Madden did mine on the day, by prior arrangement at a B19 event, it took him ~ 5 mins. He even took the pic as I'd taken one from the wrong side Iirc it was £35 and came through in a few days but it was near the season's end. If you have the V5 it'll probably make the process simpler for the scrute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 just looked him up and he is not local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham frankland Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hi Pete You need to do it before the event as the log book needs to be approved by the MSA before becomes valid Myself and Marto have got ours already. It is straight forward to obtain. You need a picture of the car (postcard size) to clearly identify the car. You need to find a local Scrut who will come to you or you go to him to fill out the log book and review the car. There is a list of Sruts in the back pages of the Blue Book! The cost of the Log Book is £40-00 I hope this clarifies the process? Good Luck Glutey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Log book is presumably needed if you don't want to tax / MOT / insure an otherwise road legal car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 but the ones in the book local don't seem to do it or reply at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham frankland Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Correct if you are running in non road going classes You can also run in non road without a log book if you can present all the road legal documents, Tax, Insurance, MOT and V5 Glutey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham frankland Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Pete I guess you might have to widen the net We have a very helpful one in MK but I don't know if he gets down your way or not! Can ask if you would like? Glutey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Pete, See if Lloyd Gerken is still about on the blue book lists - he can do your logbook. He's over in Letchworth not a million miles away from you. His house is worth a visit because it is a shrine to Ari Vatanen. His eyes lit up when both myself and Matt turned up at his house in our Escorts for him to get the logbooks done, made his day. He likes anything Ford related.
