We will go to this individual posting format of bulletins to insure that new additions are overlooked. Any bulletins that become non-operative will be deleted as needed. A summary page of operative bulletins will be like wise posted.
Bulletin for 10-29-2009
N/PS (Nostalgia Pro Stock) Rules and all others will be up in a day or so, for a review period and finalized within a couple of weeks (anticiipated so you guys will have tons of lead time.
A general heads up on Nostalgia Pro Stock: The Ratt Rules will apply, except for body configuration (still finalizing that). We think the rear tire rules as used in Superstock will apply. (There may be an alternative tire allowed: Slip On Silicones on Stock AW/JL-sized wheels. We are still 'in comittee' on that one)
The new rules WILL be simplified in that Nostalgia Pro Stock, Ratt Rodd, Gasser, BB/FC and Altereds will share chassis rules. Body rules of course differ for each category. Tire rules for each class vary. N/PS and Ratt Rodd have a 14 ohm Limit. Simple, we hope. If we get sufficient interest in Pro Mod, we are not opposed to running them, too.
The new Competition eliminator Group should be an exciting feature, having some of the 'run what ya brung' flavor of Old Match Races. It will be interesting to see if Funny Cars (with their bigger tires and longer wheelbase will dominate or if the Gassers can stand up to them. Altered body styles will be permitted in Competition eliminator as will Ratt Rodds.
A welcome heads up for some of you guys:
Given the number of de-slots occuring at recent events, wheelie bar length for all classes that allow wheelie bars (Every class other than Stock and SuperStock) will be TWO INCHES .
This is plenty of leeway and many may not want to go that long, but the freedom is there. Hopefully, this will lead to more close races and less crashes. These cars make fairly stout power on 24 volts!
While we really prefer the 'closer-to-scale' appearance of the shorter bars, we made this decision in the interest of a better show. An occasional crash or de slot is part of racing, but too many is not a good thing
We must warn however, that any bar that exceeds maximum stated length by any visible amount, will be banned and will cause a disqualification if the problem can't be corrected. In fairness to all racers it is necessary to become stricter on rules as we progress as a group.
Wheelie bar length is the measurement from the rear axle center-line to the center-line of the wheelie wheel.
