Is a flexplate shield or ultra bell required in all Super Stock classes??

From the current rule book:

TRANSMISSION SHIELD, Automatic
Cars in SS/AH through SS/MA and any car running quicker than
10.99 must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI
Spec 4.1. Cars in SS/AH through SS/JA, SFI 29.1 automatic
transmission flexplate and SFI 30.1 flexplate shield mandatory.
Aftermarket automatic transmission bellhousing permitted; must
be labeled as meeting SFI Spec 30.1 for automatic transmission
flexplate shields and must be NHRA-accepted. Aftermarket
OEM-style replica case, NHRA-accepted, permitted. See
General Regulations 2:14.

Thanks!
(I just ordered a hard copy of the rule book - too much of a pain to find stuff in the downloaded copy...)

When I download my copy of the rules I use a pro version of Acrobat to divide the important stuff like SS S and General into separate files in a folder on my hard drive. It takes time at first but saves it innthenlong run.
