Do most sanctioning bodies allow square steel tubing?
I'm not extremely familiar with the rules from the different racing sanctioning bodies, so please forgive me. Can some of you more knowledgeable guys tell me if there are any rules/requirements towards square steel tubing? I am thinking of using some 3/4"x3/4" or 1"x1" to make a strut bar for my 83 GS, as I can't find ANYONE near me who stocks round steel tubing. I have plans in the future to possibly get into some local SCCA events, and wondered if I would be wasting my time making it out of square? Is it allowed under the rules?

The best way to answer questions like these is to go to www.scca.com and go to the Solo section and down load the latest rule book. It is FREE.

Check the GCR. I assume that when you say "SCCA Events" then you are referring to Auto-X types of events? As far as I know, the design and materials for things like strut-bars are fairly open. When you start building cages and roll-bars is when you begin to see restrictions on materials and sizes (DOM tubing only, minimum diameter and thickness, etc.).

No problem, This would be the same type of thing as a fuel cell mounting structure. These type of structures are up to the racer and not governed by the rules as far as materials.

So when in doubt, check with your local safety steward.
