Ahh, here we go, from Jerry Mouton's web site:
http://www.moutons.org/sccasolo/car_class_stock_rules.html#s13
13.2 Bodywork
A. Accessories, gauges, indicators, lights and other appearance, comfort
and convenience modifications which have no effect on
performance and/or handling and do not materially reduce the weight
of the car are permitted. This does not allow driver's seat
substitutions. Delayed shutdown devices such as the "Turbo Timer",
which perform no function while the car is in motion, are
permitted. This does permit the installation of an additional
mirror (e.g. a "Wink"), but does not allow the removal of
the original mirror.
