While an investigation by Harness Racing Australia (HRA) into non-compliant UFO sulkies continues, the industry is reminded that 'UFO Aussie Alien' sulky approval was temporarily suspended on 15 December 2014 - prohibiting the ordering, sale and delivery of such sulkies without the express written permission of HRA.
It is noteworthy that US Driver, Tim Tetrick, will use a UFO offset 700 sulky when competing in the 2015 World Driving Championship in New South Wales. This sulky was arranged prior to the 15 December 2014 suspension and HRA has approved its use in the Championship subject to satisfying the HRA Sulky Standard and physical inspection prior to use.
