floor rules

[azdirtworx]

in class 3 do you have to retain the complete floor or can it be cut for say a fuel cell? Sorry if this has been covered already...:confused:

[Ckrue689]

chupas cut his out on his exploder to tuck the fuel cell up higher. it should be legal.

im most likely doing the same.

The Garage Queen also has its fuel cells under their seats.

I dont recall the floorboards being removed...

[straightaxle]

Our floor ends right behind the seats. We run a firewall up to the bedsides from there. Fuel cell, batteries, shocks, cage and spares all stick up through where the floor would have been.

who's not doing class 3 anymore?
BITD may not have it anymore but everyone else is. Give it time and the class will grow again (i hope).

[Ckrue689]

So, Piglet. I think you and I should be racing to see who finishes their Bronco first. I think we are both relatively close as far as build progress.

YOU GUYS SHOULD START TAKING BETS!!

Piglet, huh:D

What if I go for quality and you go for quickly and we see who wins in the dirt?:cool:

I feel a little bronco rivalry in the works. Hell between you, me and chupa we should have some pretty good racing. All these full size rigs better watch out too before us mid size guys show em whats up.

Class 3 is alive & well & is only slowing down due to the economy. :rolleyes:

Heck what race was it recently where we had about 9 Class 3's. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/6.gif

Class 8 use to be big & its been down to Noah out there racing alone lately.

Dont be discouraged.
Just look around the site here & you'll see many building rigs to join the action. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/ewg.gif

So keep it up & maybe by the time your ready so will many others. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif

[4x4dudester]

I thought you were joking! I should have put on of these guys on the end=:D:D:D

[wiley-moeracing]

I dont have the current rules in front of me but I thought you were only allowed to cut out just enough floor for fuel cell and shocks to fit??? thanks tim

No 'stock' internal sheetmetal required. You must meet the general rules for metal floor, firewall and roof though for the passenger compartment. You can build a real hotrod for this class if you have the time and money.

I lost my rulebook....or allowed somebody to borrow, so this thread is a bit of help. I'm going for the hotrod with emphasis on the time, rather than money. Using current Class 8 technology for brainstorming, I've come up with a plan for my C3 build. Given internal sheetmetal being "open", it really frees up the creativity. Thanks for the info fellas.

OK Ken. That comment has "garage queen" written all over it. That build has damaged every new dream to come. Ha! No this isn't going to be a superbronco. It's going to be low $, with a bit of ingenuity, that's all.


EDIT: I'm not knockin' the GQ either. It's going to be finished soon!

[kkspeedracer]

last i heard casey would make a class if you show up with at least three entries. i don't remember where i heard it tho....altzheimers setting in i guess........

[Norra 1000]

If you want to see how much floor you can remove take a look at my blazer build, I removed everything i could, Here are some photos, Everything was OK with Score tech step be step
