JD answered yet again with the same info. Lets leave it at that.

4BMike - don't do it. I have already put in a rule change adding yet more words to a very simple rule.

My apologies to all: I got a little carried away on what started out to be a slightly tongue-in-cheek commentary on Rich's quote (?paraphrase? para-quote?) of what DW described without class distinction.

I have no problems with a flat floor in my street roadster, in fact, to accommodate a "dipped" floor, I'd pretty much have to build a new chassis.

I'll throw a little fun for the fire but you must remember what I'm talking about is STOCK for the year of the car. If you ever see a 32 Ford street roadster and the guy looks like he is sitting pretty low; the '32 did have a dip in the stock floorboard to store the side curtins under the seat. At one time we did not define a seat and guys put in a back and sat right on the floorboards in that dip. Man your head was barely above the door ledge. Pretty cool. It could still be done but the seat would be a lot of work and would definatly need a front support plus a main framing under the seat. mkilger... I won't be at B'ville until October. Good Luck

Dan,

Hopefully your added words on the subject will not be added to Street Roadster rules, it is already the longest section of all vehicles, I checked.

JD, we will miss you at Speed Week!

Mike Waters has pointed out to me 10" infront of the centerline of the axle. He is correct I don't what I was thinking about. JD
