From the rulebook 2004:
·Bracing shall not constitute an impediment to this test.

What does this meen?

Can I have some bracing in front of the b-pillar that goes from the roof to the FLOOR (not the dash)?

I believe its same as before max of 6" total bracing.

3-10h Competitors MAY install bracing if desired.



Additional Guidelines and Example:



· The maximum aggregate width for all bracing in front of the B-Pillars is 6 inches (15.24cm). (To determine compliance with this guideline, find the widest point on each of your braces. Next, add these maximum widths together. The total value must be 6 inches or less.)



· Example 1: A competitor is using a single 4” x 4” brace from the roof to the floor. The widest dimension of the brace is 4 inches, so the competitor is in compliance.



· Example 2: A competitor is using a single 2” x 4” brace from the roof to the floor. The widest dimension of the brace is 4 inches, so the competitor is in compliance.



· Example 3: A competitor is using two 2” x 4” braces from the roof to the floor. The widest dimension on both braces is 4 inches. The maximum aggregate width for the competitor’s braces is 4 + 4 = 8 inches, which is more than is allowable.



· Example 4: A competitor has a 2” x 2” brace from the dash to the ceiling, another 2” x 2” brace from the dash to the floor, and a 3rd 2” x 2” brace from the floor to the ceiling. The maximum aggregate width for the competitor’s braces is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 inches, so the competitor is in compliance.



· Example 5: A competitor is using two 3” diameter pipes from the floor to the ceiling. The widest dimension of each pipe is 3 inches. The maximum aggregate width for the competitor’s braces is 3 + 3 = 6 inches, so the competitor is in compliance.

correct, 6" max bracing just like before. If the bracing prevents the 30" rod test from being performed, then it wont be considered an obstruction.

Does this answer your question?
