When you run in an SCCA autocross event, during tech inspection they look to make sure there's nothing in the trunk. And they want everything loose out of the inside of the car and make real sure the battery is secure. The battery being secure is a real big deal to them. Red's wasn't, I had to fix it.
Superman found out two autocross meets ago they want all the floor mats out of the car, too. Not a factor with Red, he doesn't have any.
I'll re-remember again tomorrow how rigorous the ECTA tech inspection is, and all I know is to not show up at the start line loaded down like Dan Stokes did.
So I pose the query to the BS board of racing authorities, because all regs are based on some past incident, what's up with taking out the floor mats? Who was ever injured (or worse) by a floor mat?
