              I don't race an imca modified, but RaceTechKs why wouldn't the repair work? If all it needs is a frame rail moved out, then why wouldn't it be a successful fix?

                They aren't measuring the rear frame rail, it's the actual clip that appears to be wrong, not just the rear frame rails that serve no purpose. The measurement that's wrong is a integral piece of the frame, is connected to the crossmember, and can't just simply be moved. I'm not sure what they're claiming, sounds like a cya deal.

                  Make them pay for shipping on all of the "illegal" cars built. They have the measurements people and rules to follow. Your GRT chassis is illegal. All I can say with this company is Karma. Make them give you a new chassis, pay to shio yours to them, or get some kind of great hook up. That's not right to build all of these cars and not informing your customers the car is illegal. Just not right.

                    Charcoal01: You are correct, I know for a fact that the frames cross members have been cut. There are several people that know this and have seen it, even the guys who have the cars know it and have seen it. And NO GRT will not take the cars back. We have one guy here that has a Brand New car that's just the Frame and Body and he has not touched a thing on it. GRT will not take it back, they told him they don't take trades on used frames....... Its a Brand New car that was picked up in August and has not been touched since. Now there saying there simply going to cut the frame rail and add a piece to it and weld it back together. Sorry but that's NOT FIXING WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. I don't care what anyone says, I know what Myself and other Tech Officials have looked at and seen.

                      GRT is crap and they are money hungry and don't care about their customers. They only see green green green. If this isn't a huge red flag then I dunno what is. Finally they stepped in their own sh1t. Bankrupt them would be fine by me. They are supposed to be selling imca legal cars. Well that was a lie. Oh ya and the parts they like wearing out on you so you spend more money. Can't stand these pr1cks.

                        Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I mean the problem is they have the rule books or access to them its IN the rules! Your buying a car to "fit" those rules. So its like your asking for trouble. I hope they get it straight it would be in their best interest for future sales.

                          You're 100% correct I apologize. No where does it say LEGAL. It only says STANDARD IMCA STYLE CAR.

                            Grt

                            I dont understand why everyone is bashing GRT i dont have one but every chassis mfg has gray areas on there cars and like GRT said when has IMCA ever checked these measurements? they started at Boone this year and there were several cars fixed that week we were parked next to one built out of Texas no names.When did any racer buy a new car and put the tape measure to it? I would think no many of us....Its our job to make sure our car is legal.

                              Bashing a company that is crap to begin with. Like I said thy care about the money more than the people buying from them. This is from experience too btw. I'm glad I got rid of mine before this hit.
