codename Bil Doe Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Is there specific wording in the CCR or ST rules which allow a skid plate to protect low oil pans? If not, could it be added? This would apply more to lower ST classes and BTM aero, not non-production mod builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted February 11, 2020 National Staff Share Posted February 11, 2020 There is no specific rule regarding skid plates for oil pans. So, there is nothing banning them specifically. However, as you stated, if someone were to put a "skid plate" on an ST4-6 vehicle (all have Aero limitations like this--"1) Flat undertray/belly pan forward of the centerline of the front axle, extending no lower than the bottom of the front fascia.") that functions as an Aero device, that would be a prohibited modification. I think this is one of those items where if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a damn duck, not a platypus. Adding a more specific rule is likely to just invite shenanigans. So, if you want to put on a skid plate, just make sure that nobody would confuse it with an Aero device (swiss cheese metal is one idea that comes to mind).
