Ground Clearance
All cars must maintain a ground clearance of 5mm, no screw or fitting
should protrude below the bottom of the chassis. Ground clearance is
defined as follows: - the clubs 5mm gauge should be able pass under the
car from front to rear and from side to side when the car is standing in
race ready condition without the car moving. Any movement of the car
either laterally or vertically will be deemed as a failure.
Please note that the Race Directors decision is final in all matters
concerning the eligibility of cars to run but the prime consideration
will always be safety for both the club and the venue |
