One door bar on each side that is within 6” of the seat bar and stops at the bottom of the a-post. Dash bars allowed. But must be 6" from firewall and tranny tunnel. This cage can be connected to the body only by using 4 vertical bars that connect to the door bars. A gas tank protector may be used but 6" from any sheet metal.
2. Drivers door must be padded. Doors can be chained or 9 wired OR doors may be welded with only 2"X 5" STRIPS WELDED 5” on 5” off, All Doors (example: weld 5”, skip 5” of weld) DO NOT weld solid all the way around doors.
3. Gas tank and battery must be moved and secured. Tank behind the seat, battery on the passenger front floor. Gas Tank must be mounted inside the passenger compartment, tightly secured, and covered. Plastic tanks must be in a solid metal containment box & covered or you will not be allowed to participate. (We strongly recommend metal tanks!) No more than 5 gallons of fuel. Absolutely NO stock fuel lines. Secure new fuel line properly inside of the drivers compartment, not underneath car. Keep away from exhaust. Plastic tanks must be in a containment box, no exceptions. Gas tank protectors must be mounted to the cage or the floor pan, not both and must be 5" gap between protector and rear sheet metal. Side bars must be at least 12" from the side sheet metal. Gas tank protector if on cage must be a "halo" type bar only. Must be 3" gap between protector and cage if floor mounted. Electric fuel pumps must be double clamped and covered. NO electronic fuel pumps without a full cutoff switch.
4. No oil or trans coolers allowed. O.E. radiator cooling only.

F. Bumpers
1. You may weld bumpers to bumper mount and bumper mounts to frame. No extra metal added, no patches or plating, must remain stock and remain in stock location

G. NO tire restriction, brakes MUST work.

Only welding allowed is on the Bumper, engine mount, cage, doors and rear end!

Keep it simple guys, this is a cheap fun class. If you want to add metal and weld, build a Modified Car.

We strongly suggest that you have roll over protection for Safety!!!

Bone Stock will run first so if you are planning to buy back in to the Modified Class, your car will need re-inspected to be sure it is safe to run (Driver’s Safety comes first). So, bring metal and a welder if you want to run with Modified.
