Is there any exception on these rules?Like if it was a SBC and it was N/A. I have a Sbc Rodeck aluminum block and Brodix Canted Valve Heads but it is only 410ci.Jason

does the exhaust need to exit in the rear or will it pass as long as there is a muffler there?...say a downpipe dumped with a bullet style muffler?

i'm kind of doubting it. The rules are intended to keep it "budget" oriented and a stock block, in some cases, can be a limiting factor on how fast the field is.

[mokancraig]

Correct, the idea was to keep the more expensive/exotic parts out of this class.

Durty, no restrictions on how much exhaust. Just that there is a functioning muffler.

I am with you on the budget part and that is why I built what I have. Mine is just some old used sprint car stuff that cost the same to build as most N/A aluminum headed big block Chevy w/stock blocks in my eyes. But because it is what it is aft and aluminum I am willing to take the biggest handicap. N/A only. And let’s say I was to win one and Carl and Craig didn't feel it was fair I won't run the class again. But I said Carl and Craig because we all know there is always haters. Jason

[Carl Blanton]

No exceptions at this time.
We need to run this class a few times, sticking to the letter of the rule, before we look at any changes.

[julven]

Sounds good.If things change let me know.We still have another car in the family that fits the rules so we will be there.

[Rick M]

Are bowtie blocks or Fords sportsman blocks considered production blocks? Just noticed the tags and insurance rule is there a reason for this rule .I for one have never tagged or insured any race car just because i dont typically drive them on the street just curious.

[durty]

im sure its cause its the Cheap Street class

[Rick M]

Just because you have tags and Insurance on your race car doesn't make it a "street car". The rules will limit the cars performance not tags and insurance .The only thing that rule does is add more money to the cost of racing .

[julven]

Mine has Classic plates and Insurance and has seen lots of street time in it's life.Like VAMP it is just another way to make it more street car oriented I would say but it doesn't wake one a street car .
