Modifications for USACI

So?,
raising the floor in a vehicle for a body drop,
shortening the firewall,
raising the transmission tunnel,
cutting the inner kick panel to enlarge wheel wells,
things like this are encouraged, and legal?

If so, what classes are these allowed in? Stock, Mod, or would these type of modifications place a vehicle in Super Mod.

My common sense would tell me Super mod but your post confuses me.

That is not what I said.

I said "Common sense must be used in making the determinations". Obviously the mods you suggested would have a HUGE effect on the interior volume of the passenger compartment and require in depth review.

Ok, thank you.

I would go as far as to say and suggest to anybody who has any mods like this, theyshould submit detailed pictures of their vehicle to the R&E board to classify their vehicle to avoid any confusion.

to simplify this for yall-any mod that changes the shape of the vehical in any way would have to be looked at.

Better take my spare change out of that passenger floor board then! Hahahahaha JK Guys I been thinking bout that one all week hahaha

wont happen zac because most dont wanna be looked at as suspect

So is duck tape going to put me in supermod??

Depends on the amount of tape used and where it is used and to what intent it is used for.

Ralph Can I be a verification judge at finals. I promise that I have no problem pissing people off.

well you know.....i was drinking and backed up into a car...so the tape is to keep the tail light in.....lol

Hahahaha Moonie Im gunna have to throw you in super mod then! Hahahaha Now if you use the lens tape you can stay stock! Or bubble gum so nobody sees it!

got to have some fun with this.....hell were all doing to same stuff so there is really no adantage or dis advantage......im doing the same stuff everyone else is....

and what i mean by that is......tape...dynomat....but nothing that is completely illegal......

LOL I hear ya! It is easier to laugh it off!

OK I will say it again....everyone listening?

(How many dam topics are you all gonna make regarding rules?)

Tape is not allowed in Stock or Modified because it is considered a manipulation of the cab or stiffens the cab. You may still hold the door/windshield with your hand but feet must stay on the ground.

Tape may be used in Super Mod only!

Now SB used to have it owns rules and now it is part of the USACi rulebook and in my thoughts it would fall under the same thing. And after talking to Don and Ralph guess what I was right

Bam there it is!

so when we have to tape our gas lids at finals....is that legal? you guys are tring to figure out the rules...and im crackin on my car making it louder... as is.

Taping the gas lids are not stiffening the vehicle...doofus!

YES IT IS

but I told you all the same thing in ALL THE OTHER POSTS

I know u did! I'm just following the crowd crackin jokes! Hahahaha

It is ok ... I am just trying to let everyone know the rules

Back in the day 99 to 01, i never used anything like tape or cutting firewall. Things like this could interfere with the sensor, everyone does some kind of modification in or out. I dont do any mod like that i wanna keep it real. guess im just oldskool. Why cant everyone just play it the same. We are all in this to accomplish our goal whatever it may be but do cut firewalls or bodydrop to acheive it. To me that is cheating.

how does tape strenthten your cab and pushing dont.

i think the main reason these rules ? are coming up cause most of the guys who are asking them maybe in that grey area, tested, got a high number an it was loud. so to make sure they are ok they ask to see if they are legal. most will aggree some will not. WE ALL KNOW THE RULE, WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE CAN AN CAN'T DO. STOP WITH THE TAPE OVER THE GAS TANK IS LEGAL B/S, YOU GUYS KNOW THAT IS A SAFTY REGULATION, GET YA ASSES OUTSIDE AN BUILD YOUR VEHICLE TO GET LOUD AS IS.
you guys have shown adversity over all the other rules with sb an other classes. i mean sb you could have as many batts as you want an you guys who was doing high numbers are still doing those high numbers with less batteries, so an so forth.
ya know the rules, follow them, an if ya follow them you ain't gotta worry about breakin a rule.

I use tape on my box.....as you guess is not part of the car.....its the box....lol
