CLB and SCCA Classes
does anyone know if this has an effect on what class you run, specifically scca solo2/prosolo? i realize its one of those things that will likely go unnoticed by 99.9% of people but with my plan to start attending national tour events and to possibly go to nationals, protests are always possible. does this count as modifying the steering column or column mounted accessories? im guessing i could make my case to the scca and get it cleared as a safety precaution but if someone has already done this, id like to know. i know the recall work would be ok but it appears that this doesnt really do anything in terms of preventing the column from locking while driving and while the clb isnt bullet proof, it does help more than the recall work. thanks a bunch.

Does SCCA even allow steering wheel locks to be active?
NASA requests the steering wheel locks to be deactivated.

You could argue C&C...comfort and convenience. No performance enhancement. But since even fuses can't be pulled and non-stock shift ***** are not allowed in Stock, your best bet is to write a letter asking for clarification to the SEB and see what they say. Letters don't cost anything.
Good luck.
Good luck.

If you are running the LG Coilovers on your car that are listed in your public forum, you won't have to worry about the Stock Class rules.
Ted, whouldn't they take him to Street Mod 2?
Yes Falcon, in autocrossing, SCCA does not require the steering locks to be disabled. That mod is reserved for the race track.

No problem on which class you meant, Ted's answers were geared toward Stock class, so I continued in that direction.
As far as SM, yours is a much 'muddier' question. I'd have to agree that a letter to the Solo Board would be the way to go.
The evil side of me sez to disable the lock inside the colum and not get noticed. Who'd going to check that during tech!
Do you work with the Stevenson Vettes? Will the Riggins chassis be ready for Daytona?

If it doesn't say you can, then you can't. Write a letter for clarification.
Jerry Onks was protested and penelized for not having a cover on his dash for the radio he removed last year in SM2. He fixed it with duct tape.
The removal for the auto would be allowed since there is a TSB authorizing it's removal. FWIW.

I have to agree with Ted.
It really isn't allowed on a Manual Tranny car. The Automatic gets it because of a Service Bulletin.
It is worth a letter asking permission and stating the dual use of the vehicle in HPDEs or Time Trials.

Great shot!
Much better than mine.
I'm friends with a couple of people that crew with them. Not the full time people but the part time ones. The straight axle car cannot be ready for Mid Ohio but if they will get to Jacksonville, Tommy has a new front clip ready to be grafted onto the chassis.

I may have missed it but the CLB you can do just involves unplugging a wire and adding in a relay to fool the system. So technically you are adding weight (1-2oz). However if you had the hardware removed, thats definite weight reduction. But in the end I will side with Ted and go with the if it doesn't say you can, you can't and email the SEB.
