Re: Stock Eliminator steering column
Yes, that is my understanding that you cannot have
a removable wheel. I have seen several lightweight steering shafts but I do not think they are legal either.

Re: Stock Eliminator steering column
Not sure about shafts but removable wheel IS LEGAL, a necessity and quicker to get out of (if needed) on several cars with a cage.

Re: Stock Eliminator steering column
This is how the rule is written:
STEERING WHEELS "Aftermarket steering wheels permitted, minimum diameter 11 inches. Removable steering wheels permitted. Lengthening of steering column prohibited. Must maintain OEM length." You are also allowed to remove the turn signal lever and the column ignition switch with the locking mechanism when applicable. The removal of the steering wheel allows the driver ease to enter and egress the car with full cages and a window net. |

Re: Stock Eliminator steering column
So you don't need the key/lock, the blinker switch, the 4 way , the air bag cover wheel, etc.
and you can use a quick release, non-stock wheel setup Why don't they just say you can fabricate a chrome moly column ,and paint to match? Stock length? How do they know that? Is the a spec somewhere? This reminds me of the stock width rear, which was a rule that wasn't enforced, until the point where they didn't care anyway. Changing the face of Stock Eliminator, all in the name of "safety", don't ya know!
