Is this legal?

I have this exact setup in the car I am building for stock and on my bracket car. What I did is I drilled the plates that originally were to be welded to the floorpan for bolts. I then made another set of plates to go on the inside of the car and bolted it in sandwitching the floorpan between the two plates. I have made hundreds of runs in my bracket car and not had any problem with it moving or breaking bolts. I called out to NHRA in california this morning and have not heard back yet. I just got off the phone with Scott from S&W a few min. ago. He says it legal and NHRA has seen it and knows about it. In any case I hope they way I did mine is ok as it is bolted in with no welding. But I guess we will see for sure if I ever get it done and to the track.
