Three "cars" for sale that might "FIT IN"!

This one has a 4 cylinder water pumper: http://www.race-dezert.com/classifie...tails&id=26648

This one looks like a "Baja Bug" and has a four banger WC: http://www.race-dezert.com/classifie...tails&id=26647

This one has a Air Cooled 2235 and only needs a Convertible Wind Shield Frame and a couple of fenders: http://www.race-dezert.com/classifie...tails&id=26645

could you imagine if people tried to do what we are trying to do in a truely unlimited class? Oh wait, isnt Pete building trucks for that class now? Even the "almost" MEGA RICH are trying new concepts...

Here is the quote direcly from SCORE:
“Our goal was to respond to the racer’s requests for an affordable truck class with regulations designed with stock, sealed V-8 engines that will give a fairly level playing field for what will be an exciting class to watch and race in,” commented Bill Savage, SCORE’s long-time Tech Director. “We purposely designed the class to allow multiple manufacturers to be able to showcase their stock engines in unlimited 4-wheel trucks and SUVs. We also wanted to develop a reasonably-affordable truck class that we expect several entries in from the very first race in November.”

give me a moment to stop laughing and I will get back to posting somewhat logically!

I'm 100% legal

You can clearly see where RULES WERE CHANGED - Notice how the fiberglass side panels and windshield frame was just kinda tacked onto the end of SCR39.

BITD - from their site as of August 7, 2012

SCR48: FENDERS
Front fenders must be used. Fender mounting location must remain stock. Fenders may be one- piece fiberglass. Rear fenders must not measure less than 6 inches from body when measured at top center of fender. Rear fender mounting height is optional. Rear fenders must have rolled edges but may be made of metal or fiberglass. Rear fenders must resemble Baja fenders.

SCR49: CHASSIS & BODY
Vehicle must retain original steel body and doors. Metal may be added to strengthen the body and floor pan. Floor pan is optional. One-piece front ends are permitted. Removal of front and rear sheet metal is permitted but only enough as required to allow for installation of Baja kit or one piece front end. Body may not be cut any farther forward then the upper line of the original engine cover. Hardtop sedans must retain top, removal of top is not permitted. If convertible body is used the windshield framework must be retained. Rear crossover piece forward of the engine cover may be removed. Stock body width must be retained. A body lift of a maximum of 3.625 inches from the floor pan is permitted. Wheel wells may be cut out a maximum of 2.5 inches. Any other combination of raising or cutting is permitted as long as combined modifications do not exceed the 3.625-inch limit. Windshield and window glass is optional but must be shatterproof if retained. Wheelbase may be lengthened to a maximum of 105 inches as measured from front wheel centerline to rear wheel centerline. Combined measurement from both sides cannot exceed 211 inches.

BUT:
SCR39: DOORS & LATCHES
Doors must remain in stock location and maintain stock in shape and size. Doors may be welded or fastened shut on convertible body’s aftermarket fiberglass side panels and windshield frame is permitted.

how are those rolled edges on those fenders working for ya wheezy??? BUSTED

One area that I challenged with SCORE was the "height" of the panels. Why not shave 2.5 to 3.6" from the bottom of the panels and make a lower sleaker car. SCORE said door panels 'must be the same size and shape'. In the end door height didn't make that much difference but reading on other sites I hear, see guys doing just that. I could care less that Texas Ranger's car is 4" wider; It says you can add metal. The opposite is what that concerns me. It gets me that some of the nostalgia guys who don't want change don't even have 100% legal cars.

Nope, no bust - I'm legit! Every detail on my car is 100% legal. Even the stupid firewalls!

STU... Is your car stock width?

BITD rules show us all illegal at this point.

Yes, stock width .

[M and D MotorSports]

mine is 100% legal also. So in order to run convertible you must have an original windshield frame? Why would you push the rules and take the chance of being protested? I don't think I would protest unless it was wheel base but even then you look like a sore loser if your wrong.
