Summary

fasterEP, FP, HP clarified: tapered holes in ball joints now allowed for bolt conversion; wheel bearings and hubs unrestricted at any wheel.

As printed in Fastrack

Note from CRB: 9.1.5.E.5.b.2 in “Suspension and Steering Level 2: Suspension Components”
states that “Suspension control arms, bushings, bearings, and ball joints are unrestricted.”
However, allowance to ream out ANY tapered hole from a stock ball joint does not exist, unless
being done to a specifically unrestricted component, like a suspension control arm. This is not
the intent to restrict in that manner, and should be clarified:
In GCR section 9.1.5.E.5.b.2, add wording as follows:
“Suspension bushings, bearings, and ball joints are unrestricted. Tapered holes can be drilled
or reamed, to allow a bolt to be used in place of a ball joint.”

Note from CRB 9.1.5.E.2.o.5 in “Final Drive” states that “Axle shafts, bearings, bearing
carriers, hubs, and universal joints/CV joints are unrestricted.” Therefore any of those items,
all of which are defined in the GCR, that are part of the final drivetrain system of the vehicle,
are indeed unrestricted. However, this rule would not apply to a non-driven axle, as it is not
part of the drivetrain. It is agreed that allowing unrestricted bearings and hubs should not be
limited to only the driven axle, and it should be applied to both axles/at any wheel:
In GCR section 9.1.5.E.5.b. add wording as follows:
“6. Wheel bearings and hubs are unrestricted.”

After much investigation and discussion into these items, and reflection upon the proceedings that brought them to light, it was
determined that a wide variety of vehicles throughout the Production Category have modifications to diff covers, diff mounts,
and trans mounts that could potentially be ruled illegal to the rules as they were written. Therefore, the rules addressing these
items were heavily scrutinized for both clarity and intent, which then drove the decision to make the changes as published. It is
believed that these revisions both clean up multiple "grey areas" and are within reason of the Prep. Level 2 ruleset. The Prod
Committee understands that the timing and the optics of the situation are poor, but this doesn't affect the determination that
changes to these rules to more accurately represent intent was needed.

Reconsider Wheel & Tire Size Limitations in Prod

#37190 from Production Committee · No action required · Minutes (2025-12 Fastrack)

We appreciate your perspective and feedback. After thorough consideration of the survey responses, input from our tire
manufacturers, the current state of wheel size variation and competition balance within each class, potential performance benefits
that could be realized by the proposed changes, the ever-increasing costs of racing, and the current environment of Road Racing in
general, the PAC has come to the conclusion to NOT make any large, sweeping changes to the current wheel specs at this time. It is
evident that this is a sensitive and polarizing subject with no clear answer to what the best direction is for the Production Category,
and that is ultimately why this decision is being made. Note that instances where a discrepancy appears to exist versus typical max
wheel spec practices may still be considered for adjustment.
The PAC wishes to thank all survey participants, as their responses did highlight how varied the opinions are on this subject, as well

Remove 9.1.5.E.8.c

#34010 from Production Committee · Member feedback requested · Minutes (2023-04 Fastrack)

The Production Advisory Committee is seeking member input regarding the possibility of removing rule 9.1.5.E.8.c:
"9.1.5.E.8.c - Cars using 13” wheels may run 8 inch wide (max) wheels, but only with Race Tires America American Racer 20.0-
8.0-13, bias ply, non-belted tire. Cars using 15” wheels may run 10 inch wide (max) wheels, but only with Race Tires America
American Racer 23.5-10.0-15, bias ply, non-belted tire."
The original intent of this rule was to provide a second viable racing tire option to the Production Category when Goodyear
stopped production of its bias-ply tires several years ago. At the time, Race Tires America made promises to supply their
American Racer asphalt tire in appropriate sizes and road-racing compounds for use in Prod, but was not willing to say that it
could be used on a 7" wide tire, which most 13" and 15" wheel applications in Production are limited to. Therefore this

Show 9 more lines

allowance was made, with the anticipation that Race Tires America would support it, it would become a viable option in the
category, and racers would take up this option. Since then, the following has happened:
- Goodyear has returned to making bias-ply slick tires, as well as a radial slick tire, for Prod competitors.
- The American Racer tire is only produced in the softest compound that Race Tires America offers, which is not intended or
viable for the longer circuit-racing events that the SCCA competes in.
- The existence of this rule has been used to argue that even further special tire & wheel package allowances should be made,
creating confusion regarding the direction and intent of the tire & wheel rules within the Prod category.
As of this writing, it is not believed that any current Production racer is actively utilizing this rule, in order to run this tire & wheel
package. If there is, and they would like to see this rule continue as-is, please let us know.

Please Revisit Tire and Wheel Width Rule Letter #33728

#33936 from James Rogerson · No action required · Minutes (2023-04 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. There is no change to the original response to letter #33728, which requested that vehicles which are
specified to run a MAX 13" diameter wheel be allowed to run a 15x7" wheel when using the B-Spec Hankook or SM Hoosier
tire. It pointed at rule 9.1.5.E.8.c as justification to why this should be allowed. Rule 9.1.5.E.8.c allows for an increase in wheel
WIDTH only, when running a specific America Racer tire. It does not allow for an increase in wheel diameter, versus what is on a
vehicles spec line, which is not the same as what's being requested here. Furthermore, its existence alone is not enough of a
justifiable reason for the PAC to make further special tire and wheel package allowances, which are outside the scope of the
Production Category. If the goal is to just find a cheaper alternative than the radial or bias-ply slick tires that are common in
Prod, with competitiveness not being a concern, then a competitor is free to use a DOT race or street tire that fits their MAX

The spec line in question is the FP Ford Mustang 2.3 (79-93), with the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine. This effectively is the base model
of the entire Mustang lineup during that timeframe. If the vehicle entrant can prove that a specific wing/spoiler was fitted to
that vehicle stock from the factory at any point during its production run (as defined on its spec line), and not as an option, then
it would be legal to run.

Headlight and Marker Light Covers, Mounting, and Gaps

#33724 from Bill Lamkin · No action required · Minutes (2023-03 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. It is believed that the rules are adequate as written. It is ultimately the competitor’s responsibility to
adhere to them in an appropriate and reasonable manner, and be able to defend the modifications they have made to their car
versus the rulebook. It is clearly defined what lights can/must be removed, that the resulting holes left after the removal of
these lights must be covered with a screen/panel, and how that screen/panel can be contoured. A reasonable interpretation
would be to ensure that the screen/panel closely replicates the shape and location of the light(s) it is replacing, and that the
stock shape and profile of the vehicle remains intact. But again, it is ultimately the competitors responsibility to defend the
legality of their car versus the rules and how they are written.

This process has now been completed, and the updated formatting will be present in the 2021 December GCR. As this was a

Thank you for your letter.
"Suspension and Steering Level 1" rule 9.1.5.E.4.c states:
"Bolt on suspension cross members/sub-frames are unrestricted."
So yes, in Level 1, those items could be replaced entirely, as they are unrestricted.
"Suspension and Steering Level 2" rule 9.1.5.E.5.c.4 states:
"Suspension cross member/sub frame mounting bushing material is unrestricted."
There are no further allowances within the "Suspension and Steering Level 2" section (9.1.5.E.5) regarding the "cross
member/sub frame", so yes, the stock member(s) must be retained.

specified on its spec line.

Metal Shims to Attain Compression

#28245 from WILLIAM TRAINER · No action required · Minutes (2020-03 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. It is believed that this would already be considered legal under the rule
9.1.5.E.1.m.1 and 9.1.5.E.1.m.1: "The use of alternate engine components which are normally
expendable and considered replacement parts, such as fasteners, gaskets, seals, bearings, water pumps,
etc., is permitted."

Request all current BSpec cars be allowed to compete in HP

#27529 from Peter Jankovskis · No action required · Minutes (2020-03 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The Production Advisory Committee (PAC) is committed to creating,
managing, and balancing Production classifications and Production cars. The PAC does agree that every
car actively being raced in B-Spec should have an available classification in Production. Effort has been
made over the past several months to make the necessary additions to Production so that every
make/model that was raced in BS at the 2019 Runoffs, now currently also has a Production classification
that it could compete under. If there are any B Spec racers whose vehicle is still not included in
Production, and they are interested in competing in Production, they are urged to send in a letter for
Production classification. Please note that by running under a Production classification, the competitor

is expected to compete to the 9.1.5 Production Category rules of the GCR.
Please also note the current existence of Production Category rule 9.1.5.B.5, which allows Improved
Touring cars (a non-Runoffs eligible category) to compete in the Production class in which the same
make and model car is classified, but wholly under the preparation, modification, and classification of
their Improved Touring spec line and the Improved Touring rules.

Request BoP for the Fiat 124

#26828 from Jesse Prather · No action required · Minutes (2019-06 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. The classification of this vehicle in question was adjusted a few seasons ago, and the
effects of those changes are continuing to be monitored, along with the competition balance of all Prod classes. At
this time, no further changes are believed to be warranted.

Request wind screen clarification

#26255 from Jeremy Schwarz · No action required · Minutes (2019-03 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. Rule 9.1.5.E.9.a.8.A is adequate as written. It states that the stock
front windshield and frame can be removed from an open top car, and if they are, then a
replacement windshield must be installed. The only limitations on the design/size/profile of that
replacement windshield are also given as follows: “The replacement windshield must be fitted
within the vertical planes of the front most and rear most elements of the stock windshield and
frame. The replacement windshield must not exceed the height or width of the stock windshield
and frame. Any portion of the windshield that is in the driver’s line of sight, must be constructed
of a clear material. No part of the replacement windshield can be constructed of glass.”
