Novice needs help interpreting stock class rule re: mods to pedals and gear shift lever

["Craig M. Daugherty" <cmdaugherty@tyler.net>]

Rule 14.2 specificaly permits pedal covers to be used in Street Prepared
class but I see no mention of modifications to the shift lever, except
possibly 14.10 (M). No mention of these items is included in the Stock
rules. However, rule 13.2 allows modifications to "accessories...and other
appearance, comfort and convenience" items. Is this broad enough to permit
pedal covers in the Stock class or does the "except as authorized" language
act to prohibit them since they are not specifically permitted? What about
changing the shift lever to a "short shift" mechanism?
Thanx for your imput.
