I think several of the new interior rules are a direct result of the backlash from the Summit cars being at the Invitational. I'm glad they cleared up the interior panel rules, if it was upholstered originally...it's to be upholstered again, if it was covered by one panel, it's to be covered by one panel again, original dash can be modified, but must be in place. Maybe there are a LOT of cars running that people haven't put headliners back in? I've never really noticed...
I'm actually pretty surprised at the number of now CAM-T cars that are running ABS and will have to disable it to now run in CAM-T. Didn't realize it was that big of an issue until it was made illegal.

The interior rules are stupid imho, they dictate the style someone has to build their car too. SCCA claims they want to increase their membership by attracting cars from GG, USCA....etc yet they make rules that don't allow a custom dash or uncovered custom interior panels. I knew the stupid rules would come, that's why I didn't get too excited when they announced the class. They just can't get past the "run what ya brung" mindset. This class will either die or will get filled with folks from other classes moving to it, I don't see a huge increase in membership with the path they're choosing with the rules.
