Top Dead Center is alright...the hosts are ****ing tools. Working on bikes in nice clothes with nice watches on. I remember he was doing a YZ450 exhaust upgrade on one show. "So now you're gonna remove the subframe." And he just pulls it off, all the bolts were already removed and the airbox disconnected, seat off, etc.
:rofl:

nope often a lot of modifications are still allowed in Showroom Stock. No one runs a completely stock car with only the safety modifications.

it's actually a lot more than stock class. you can use any shocks or springs.
swapping springs in Autox = SP.
just wanted to make sure people understand that those cars are not stock by the usual defintion of the word.

IX. SHOWROOM STOCK
The Showroom Stock (SS) category is intended to provide competition for mass produced stock automobiles. Kit cars and limited
production cars modified by the manufacturer or aftermarket companies and resold through authorized original OEM suppliers
(Saleen, Callaway, BMW Motorsport, Ford SVT, etc.) are not considered Showroom Stock.
The cars classified are the base model unless otherwise specified. Gray market and limited production models will be classified at the
Event Stewards' discretion. No updating/backdating allowed.
Cars are classified in five (5) classes based on performance potential, using the SCCA Showroom Stock specifications as a guideline.
Cars not listed in the SCCA Showroom Stock classification will be reviewed by the Event Stewards during Tech Inspection to insure
proper classification.
The competitor may be required to provide a factory shop manual of the competing vehicle's model and year to aid the Event
Stewards in determining what is the "as delivered" configuration. Should a vehicle's as delivered configuration be subject to
investigation via a protest, track record inspection, or other inspection deemed necessary by the Event Stewards, the competitor must
provide a factory shop manual or risk disqualification or bumping to the appropriate class as deemed appropriate by the Tech
Inspector/Event Stewards.
Showroom Stock automobiles will compete in an "AS DELIVERED" configuration with preparations and modifications allowed
ONLY as follows:
CAR INTERIOR
1. Accessories, gauges, indicators, and/or lights are permitted.
2. Drivers' seat may be replaced with an aftermarket seat.
3. Steering wheel may be replaced with an aftermarket wheel, provided the diameter remains the same as stock.
EXTERIOR -- WHEELS AND TIRES
1. Any type wheel may be used provided wheel size (width and diameter) remain stock. Wheel offset may be +/- 5mm
from stock. Cars delivered with 12 inch wheels may use aftermarket 13 inch wheels with a maximum width of 5 inches
that fit within stock fenders. Cars delivered with wheels greater than 17 inches in diameter may use wheels that are 17
inches in diameter, provided they are the stock width.
2. Wheel spacers are not allowed.
3. Tires shall be of "as delivered" construction, DOT approved with no undertread showing (for safety reasons), and either
be listed in THE TIRE GUIDE or be available in three or more rim diameters.
4. Any size tire that fits on the stock rim is allowed provided it meets the following:
a. The tread fits within the stock fender and wheel well (without modification) as measured by a vertical line dropped
down from the fender lip while the car is at rest on level ground with the wheels pointing straight ahead.
b. The rim width used is among the rim widths recommend by the tire manufacturer for that particular tire size.
RUNNING GEAR
A. BRAKES
1. Any brake fluid, brake pad and/or shoes may be used. Braided stainless/teflon brake lines may be used.
B. SUSPENSION
1. Any shock absorbers may be used provided the system of attachment and original mounting points are not altered. The
number of shock absorbers must remain as stock. Shocks incorporating load supporting devices and/or external
reservoirs are prohibited.
C. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. The make of spark plugs, points, cap, rotor, ignition coil and high tension wires is free.
2. The stock engine computer, if so equipped, must be used. The use of aftermarket performance chips is not allowed.
D. ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN
1. No modifications of any kind to engines are allowed.
2. Any oil cooler is permissible on any SS vehicle provided it is securely mounted completely within the confines of the
engine compartment, higher than the centerline of the hubs and has no additional ducting.
3. Oil accumulators (Accusump) are allowed provided they are securely mounted.
4. Any make hoses, clamps, and belts are allowed.
5. Any make oil, air, and/or fuel filter elements are allowed.
6. Any part of the exhaust system beyond the header/manifold or catalytic converter, if so equipped, may be substituted with an OEM equivalent exhaust system provided it exits behind the rear wheels and outside the bodywork. Modifications of any type, including additions to, removal of or non-stock replacement of the catalytic converters, thermal reactors, or any other pollution control devices are not allowed and the system must be operable.
