Can some1 help me translate bone headed GCR speak?

ITCS-9 5.a.1: Ride height must be min 5 inch as measured from the lowest point of the rocker panel. Okay. That one is easy.

ITCS-14 8.c: No part of the car, except for the exhaust system and suspension components. shell be lower then the lowest part of the wheel rims.

Okay .. what does that mean? More specifically, how low can an IT air dam be?

Thanks ...

I *think* it can be as low as the lowest part of the wheel rim.

So, the main tub must be 5" as measured from the rocker panel. But, air damn and other body work may be as low as the wheel rim. Only exhaust and suspension may be lower than the rim - although I wouldn't want anything that low.

 

"wheel rim" being the wheel itself? So another way to look at it would be it can be as low your tires?

WHEEL &lt;-- air dam to here?
TIRE
GROUND

 

Yeah, wheel rim = the metal thing to which you mount tires. So, the lowest part of the wheel rim is a sidewall's width off the ground. Your air damn should be no lower than a sidewall's width either. Lower profile tire - air damn can be lower to ground.

If your tire sidewall (measured from the edge of the wheel to the ground) is 2 inches, then your air dam needs at least 2 inches of clearance.
Seems pretty self explanatory to me.
