Hi Joe,
I noticed hardware like this;
http://www.cachassisworks.com/
(clevis kits etc.) that they state is NHRA legal.
Another site showed removeable cross-bars for back-seat access.
I looked through the SCTA rule-book and saw no mention, other than a reference
to
bolted structures.
That's why I'm asking now, as it applies to getting people in with cars that
they might
not want to totally dedicate to racing.
No criticism of the rule-book; over-all it is great; clear and thorough.
I don't know if this needs a specific ruling or if an acceptance of NHRA
approval etc.
would be better.
BTW; the comments about stereos etc. was more a complement to the ones who took
the
safety and engineering seriously, than a slight against any others. We need
enthusiasts coming from everywhere. It may be the market created by the
poseurs that
funds the racing and media coverage that benefits the 'purists'...
Cheers,
Rick

should be
