Never been to a race where they tech the cut line, its always minimum roof height and deck spoiler cant be higher than the roof. The IIC only did the spoiler check, but I would think a ROAR sanctioned race would do both. Cut lines may be a tech for BRCA though, can't say for that.

After I do a trim like that, if you take the wheels off the car and put it on your setup board there is little to no gap between the body and the board. (When the body is pinned on the chassis). You could slam the body but first you wouldn't make the minimum body height measurement and chances are real good that the front wheels would rub the upper front fenders causing even more problems.
