IMCA Announces 2025 Stock Car Body Rule Amendment Effective Immediately

The original rule stated:
“IMCA approved MD3 Stock Car kit (part no. 33131-10200-X) is allowed. This Camaro kit must remain as produced, complete and unaltered. The kit components may not be used with any other body style.”

Effective today, the following exceptions have been approved and added to the 2025 rulebook:

Aluminum aftermarket replacement hood is now permitted, provided it matches the Camaro hood in both size and design.
A plastic hood scoop (part #MD3040 or similar) up to 3.5 inches tall is allowed on either the original or replacement hood.

These updates are effective immediately at all IMCA-sanctioned events nationwide.

“This amendment gives our racers utilizing the Camaro body style more flexibility without compromising the integrity or identity,” said IMCA President, Brett Root.

All competitors and teams are encouraged to review this update and ensure compliance at upcoming events. For further clarification or questions, please contact IMCA Competition Director Dave Brenn at 785-307-8482 or raceimca@imca.com.
