Just to be clear:

2009 SOLO Rules

Section 3.1: 'Vehicles'

Quote:
... vehicles with wheelbases exceeding 116 inches may be excluded by the Event Chairman if he determines, at his discretion.
Quote:
Unstable vehicles with a high center of gravity and a narrow track, including SUV’s, minivans, and 4WD pickups, must be excluded. Examples of such vehicles are listed in Appendix A.

Sounds pretty subjective to me. For example with the NEPA SCCA those trucks would never have been allowed to run (afaik, kupop please chime in if I'm mistaken) ... but up here in VT, the SCCV wouldn't have a problem letting them run.
