Default MOD N/A Rules 2010?

Tony,

Now that you have a date nailed down, how about posting up the rules?

You know what I want.

1. No weight penalty for DFI or carbs.

2. Lower base weight.

3. 30" tires.

You also know that I got called out after last years race, so we will start on the car the day after you post something!

Congrats on the baby.

Take Care,

Daren

Daren,

We are reviewing the rules. I can tell you this they will not change much.

I know the turbo rules will change.....going to allow T6 flange. Looking at wheel sizes also to make sure there is a level playing field.

30" tire may be allowed. The limit right now is 29.5....adding that .5" will not make much difference so it will likely change. Chopstix, Kyle, and I are discussing it.

Be patient about the rules please.

And yes I will be a daddy to a little girl come April...thanks! My son is looking forward to being a big brother.

So, basically Daren is going to build the world's fastest LTx still utilizing the opti, stock intake manifold and throttle body. I LIKE! Can't wait to see your build thread!

No problem there. I know that it will be hard to please everyone. I just want to make sure that my requests are heard. I would like to see more cars, so I will not complain if you make rules that allow more people to run. The main reason that I want 30" tires is the fact that there are way more good choices and I don't think that the other racers will be bothered by that change.

Nope. I am going to take a bunch of old LTX junk that I have, let teenagers throw it together, and have some fun!

You can't beat these "forum races". I used to get beat at the LS1tech races and still had fun.

Yeah I was just messing around. It's all in the name of fun and safety (of course). Still interested in what you have planned to compete in the MOD class..

If you can run 126 mph @ 3600 lbs you should think about doing some weight reduction and running MOD N/A.

I would think MOD NA would fit your car and be competitive.

me.. I like red
Badhawk.. can't remember what green is for
Gizmo..Race Car
Taner..FAST!
Brady..FAST!

I will be one out gunned by most, but it's all about hanging out, racing and having a great time.

From your recent posts I figured that was your plan. This years race should be fun. MOD N/A is the place to be for 2010!

HA! we were posting at the same time.

Daren

it will be a great time and I look forward to seeing your build come together with the kids

to be honest I think I'm going to run MOD PA this year if I get the car working well with the new setup

2 classes would just not leave enough time IMO to really see much racing

Looks like I may also join you guys in Mod N/A unless the n2o testing goes better than I am expecting which is very possible. I definately won't be the fastest with my stock PCM but it will be fun either way. I guess i will know more once I get some new tires on my car and get about 20 more passes this year with my new setup. Either way I plan on being there as long as god is willing and the creek don't rise. LOL

Tim Herrington are you going to make it this year or what?
Later Clint

I'm not sure that there are two wheels of the same size on the car! So, new wheels will be required. Come get you some anyway!
