Has anyone tried to conform to NHRA or AHRA or even SCCA rules when building a wooden floor car?
Rules for everyone say that the floors can't be altered and require that the roll bar/cage base begin at the floor and go up vertically tying the rockers or interior panels to the floor. Something about certain number of square inches being required.
Floors can't be altered or used to form a belly pan and the usual restrictions on aero and the rest.
The floors in my MGA are wooden and come that way as-new. The rules don't allow changing to metal and yet require that the floors carry any number of safety features, from cage to seat mounts to battery hold downs. I'm trying to build a car that's legal for NHRA, AHRA, and SCCA so that I can race it at both New England and Lebanon Valley, autocross it, and compete in hill climb events with the front suspension in the lowered position.
Pretty much get the most fun out of the car as possible, you know?
Anyone been through anything like this and come out ahead?
Please lemme know, won't you? I'm sure that it can be done, but I don't know how to proceed.
