Chopped and Sectioned Coupe
« on: March 02, 2015, 11:00:23 PM »
So if you got a wild hair and chopped/sectioned a mid-60s coupe and decided to make a landracer out of it instead of a street hot rod, what would be the class most easy to fit into?

Comp coupe most likely

A Comp Coupe can be sectioned?  I've been figuring on being stuck with time only --

No sectioning allowed for class. TO if you have a skinny car.

That's for any class?  Was a horizontal section, not vertical.

Easy way to answer these questions is to buy a rule book and learn it. No sections in any class.

Horizontal section, as in chopped top?

Perhaps there is a problem with terminology.

I'm in agreement - buy a rulebook.  It will answer your questions.

Why is there a SCTA Rule Questions forum?

Chopped and sectioned, as in the top is chopped and the body is sectioned.  It's common custom hot rod terminology.

Then sorry to inform you, as has been already been said, there are NO classes that allow sectioning of any kind in the SCTA.
You will run time only.

Because some people like to ask questions better than getting the answer for themselves. however, any answer you get here is only an informed, (or not) opinion. If you are at all serious about building an LSR car you really need to cough up the $10 and get a rule book. Then if you still have questions, and you will, you can inquire here, or email the people who can give you an official answer. Their contact information can be found, guess where? The rule book.

Why an SCTA rules topic?  How about - because there are times when someone doesn't understand a rule and feels that asking on this Forum for some information or background or experience.  We all pretty well know that we can't get rules rulings here -- but lots of times we can find out something that makes it worthwhile to have asked.

Sometimes there is a guy here who has 50+ years experience and has been involved with writing the rule book most of those 5 decades.

Rule 4.Y defines sectioning as removing a horizontal piece of the body and rejoining. Standard Hot Rod terminology. There is no class which uses a production body that allows rule 4.Y.

Jeff Brock has a Buick in build stage that is chopped, sectioned AND narrowed. Still no class to run in.
