This simply means to check your car against the official rules and specifications to prevent any rules violations. In most competitions, a car is disqualified if it violates even one of the rules.
Conduct checks regularly during the construction of a racecar. Even in the design drawing stage, the specifications should be considered to avoid problems down the road.
For TSA specs, a handy Go/No Go Gauge is available from Pitsco. It enables quick checking of several body measurements.
Vehicle weight is a critical factor in competition. Because weight is an enemy of speed, the idea is to get the weight to the absolute minimum. Remember to weigh the car with all the wheels and hardware (axles, washers, screw eyes, and so forth).
