    Here is the rules straight from the book Rod
    Shocks:
    2. Any allowed shock must be commonly available (or have been available) at SCCA
    supporting partner Tire Rack, for regular retail sales and without custom order. Parts do
    not have to be sourced from the Tire Rack, but they must be as they would have come
    off the shelf from there, or the shock must be on a specific approval list.

    3. If you believe there is a commonly available retail unit which otherwise fits the intent
    of these rules but is not available at The Tire Rack you may write in for specific approval
    of that brand and model.

    Springs:
    A set of springs may be substituted (E.g. “Lowering Kit”) providing that the number, type, system of attachment and attachment points are not altered, except as noted below.

    1. Any allowed set of springs must be commonly available (or have been available) at
    SCCA supporting partner Tire Rack, for regular retail sales and without custom order.

    Anti roll bars:
    No tire rack rule mentioned.

    It also says Street class AutoX cars are legal to run in the correct class even if their modifications are not legal to this ruleset but cannot mix and match rules. No lowering springs on a Street car in other words.

      yeah, what Miles said. Rod, you're strano bar is fine as only shocks and springs are required to be available from Tire Rack or on an approved listing. It is an interesting way to go about it, we'll see how it works out.

        It creates an unnecessary hurdle for the folks not running "Tire Rack equivalent" shocks. I get trying to control costs, but Heyward is 100% "everyone come for the experience" and the rule is an issue as currently written. I imagine it will get tweaked though.

        The Street category inclusion doesn't help me...I'm ST-lite.

          Tire Rack is a sponsor. Plain to see that Heyward is sucking up to Tire Rack. Did Tire Rack ever get this sort of positive treatment from SOLO? IMHO, this Tire Rack restriction is a severe impediment for a lot of potential drivers. Suggest sending emails to Heyward with your concerns and reasons for not being able to attend the new TT Event.
