Aftermarket intake grate, UIM

Legal in all 16 UIM classes that publish rules, same envelope everywhere.

This page is UIM only, and the bodies do not agree. The same part under IHRA and IJSBA. Which one applies to you is decided by whoever sanctions the race you enter.


The 12.00 mm figure is identical to IJSBA's and to IHRA's at J.18.1. One grate spec satisfies all three bodies.

Where it stands, class by class

24 classes, grouped where the same rule gives the same answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules. 8 of them borrow another class’s rules and are marked below; for those, the link to the parent class is read from the categories table rather than stated in the rulebook. 8 publish no rule for this part and name no parent to borrow one from, and are grouped together at the end.

What each answer below means

Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
No rule published for this class
Unanswerable here. This class publishes no rule for the part and names no parent class to borrow one from, which is an absence in the rulebook and not a permission.

Legal, with conditions 16 classes

Full-length type with at least one bar parallel to the drive shaft, all leading edges radiused, extending no more than 12.00 mm below the flat plane of the pump intake area. GP1 adds that the projecting member must be filed so as not to create a hazard.


Aftermarket intake grate: if the rule your class applies reads differently to you, or the rulebook has changed since this was read, ask. We answer with the section we read it from, or that we have not read it. Ask a rules question.
