Guest Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Where is this rule? If this is true I remember a bunch of cars that were at Mid Ohio and at VIR in the fall that don't stand a chance of passing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbasf Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 AI 6.1 at the bottom of the section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWL Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 The sentence in 6.1 you're looking at refers to the height of the fixture used to measure track width and not ride height of the car itself. The fixture would ideally be flat in the middle and then have the 3 inch height on the outside edges. Clear? -JWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racercosmo Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 That's not ground clearance. They are saying that the tread width measurement will be taken at 3" from the ground. If you look at the figure below, imagine that it's 72.25" wide and 3" tall. [_____________] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWL Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 John- No need. Steve and I just got off the phone and he's aware of what is going on. This was not worded correctly and will be addressed in the next draft of the rules. -JWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HistoricMustang Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 John, you do not need to worry to much about ground clearance. You passed my butt plenty of times. Are you going to be able to make the Mitty at Road Atlanta, May 1 and 2? Do not make me bring the 5 gallon paint bucket.........................
