The 2012 Rulebook has now been updated and is now posted under the Rule Tab. There are only minor changes to a number of classes, with the Four for Fun the exception.
We have reviewed a recommendation that came in from Jeff Smith and it will be added to the 2013 Rulebook.. We are looking at all cars adding a steel plate on the drivers side roll cage covering the door area. Currently, some vehicles do not have protection on the door to stop a piercing of the door skin and continuing into the driver. This rule will be mandatory in 2013. ( It is now mandatory in the Thunder Class for 20 gauge. ) The rule will state that a minimum of 16 gauge steel plate will be placed between the outer door skin and the roll cage covering the driver and seat area.
It is highly recommended that you do this now to meet the new rule in 2013 and it is always better to be safer than not.
This rule/recommendation will not apply to the Legend Class as that class is governed by Inex.
