MAC Member Advisory on CM Bodywork...
The MAC (Modified Advisory Committee) has sent the following to the SEB (Solo Events Board) regarding CM bodywork:
"MAC recommends the following Member Advisory:
Pursuant to retaining consistency with the intent of Club Racing regulations, the SEB is concerned about removal of bodywork for the sole purpose of reducing car weight. CM Formula Ford competitors wishing to make body alterations to their cars should request a ruling on the desired configuration if there is any doubt as to its legality."
Advisory Not Rule Change...

Please note that no rule changes are being proposed; it is to advise CM competitors to follow up with the SEB if they have questions regarding removing bodywork to make weight. The first post of the thread being an example; running a 84 Reynard without the tail to lighten the car.
In short, the MAC believes the intent of the GCR is have FF/CM cars compete with bodywork. That is, removing and/or modifying bodywork for weight purposes is understandable but running with zero bodywork is not.
