What is the legality of removing the rear stock slidder mounting humps in order to mount a seat flush to the floor?

[HoneyBadger - BrianW]

It's legal. Here is the section from the SCCA GCR:

8. Driver/Passenger Compartment - Trunk
a. The driver’s seat shall be replaced with a one-piece bucket-type race seat. All seat mountings shall be reinforced. Factory seat tracks/brackets may be modified, reinforced, and/or removed to facilitate replacement mountings provided they perform no other function. The passenger seat must be removed. The transmission tunnel may be modified for the purpose of installing a competition driver seat. The floor pan must remain in its original position.

I thought that it was but i kept getting hung up on " the floor pan must remain in its original position". I couldn't determine if this ment that removal of the mounting humps was deamed to be deforming the floor pan.

The floor pan rule is so you can't hammer down or fab a lower floor. There was a guy on the old forum that lowered his floor plan due to his size and I think it might have drove him out of the class. Cutting the mounts out is OK as long as you don't move or replace the pan.

I think his warm and sparkling personality encouraged the use of a rule against him....

If in person he was anything like his posts I'm surprised no one clocked him.

But the passenger side seat tracks/mounting rails must remain in place, correct?

You are required to remove the passenger seat. You may remove the tracks and mounting rails. You may use the stock seat mounting holes to mount your ballast.
