Homologation for Converted Cars 10+ years old
After reading the "Converted Cars" paragragh below it seemed that minimal info needed to be sent. Seemed too good to be true. It was. I just talked to Jeremy @ SCCA. Once a car is 10 years old it needs to do the whole homologation package.
For those of you that think I'm complaining about something trivial, I probably am, but there is a bit of an effort to take 25 different pictures, various measurements, etc.

Converted Cars
If your car has been homologated but you decide to change classes, your car will need to be re-homologated for that class.
- Please send your original homologation certificate to the National Office along with pictures of the car showing the bodywork, and a description of the changes. We will then review your original forms to verify compliance with the rules for the new class.
- In some cases, you may be required to complete the homologation request forms as outlined in the new design section.
- There is no charge for a conversion.
Here is the paragragh I missed that pertains to my situation:
New Designs and chassis 10 years and older
If your chassis is homebuilt, or a new design, you will need to complete a homologation request packet. Additionally, all cars that are ten years or older that have not been homologated, i.e. raced in pro series or other sanctioning body, will need to complete the homologation request packet.
- The homologation request forms can be found by clicking on the link for the class needed. This will open a downloadable PDF that can be printed.
- Once completed, the forms should be mailed into the National Office with the applicable fees. The forms will be reviewed and you will be advised of any additional information that may be needed.
- New chassis of non-metallic composite construction shall be proven to meet the relevant FIA specifications/SCCA requirements prior to being submitted for homologation. These requirements can be found by clicking on the links titled FIA composite chassis specs.
- The turn around time for this is typically two weeks.
Homologation for Converted Cars 10+ years old
If all cars over 10 years old or older have to do the whole process then they need to update the listed requirements because the way they read now you should not have to.
