Rule changes

[Tweeked6]

What on your mind for 2019, please discuss.

 

[Kip]

As already brought up by Otto, losing the “ no aftermarket automated shift actuation” rule.

 

[Tweeked6]

What would TSM gain by changing this rule? What would TSM lose by changing this rule? Let’s discuss

 

[sackracing]

That rule was aimed at one individual a long time ago, it was a stupid rule

 

[cooled85T]

I would like to race this year but my car is mini tubbed....

 

[sackracing]

Mini Tubs are not an advantage with a tire size limit
Coilovers are not an advantage you can put a coilover spring on top of the rearend

 

[cooled85T]

I would agree

 

[Tweeked6]

I disagree with the mini tub. You can get the car lower. That is an advantage. We can talk about coilovers but I do not want to see vertical coil overs. I have asked to see pictures of what people would want to run but nobody sent me anything. I would intertain voting on stock location coil overs only.

 

[sackracing]

What is the advantage of being lower?

 

[sackracing]

There is no ride height rule

 

[cooled85T]

Stock suspension mounting points only let you go so low before the geometry is off

 

[Tweeked6]

If we take a vote on shifter stuff, we need to take a vote on traction control too.
I also see we need for a vote on allowing M1 fuel.
I would like to loosen up the weight a little on 109 block cars I think possibly although John Plog is really doing well!!!

If we take a vote on shifter stuff, we need to take a vote on traction control too.

Your not saying that these two items are tied together in some way are you?

 

[Tweeked6]

Simply put yes

 

[Kip]

Simply put yes

Can you explain your thinking?

 

[Slow91z]

Simply put yes

Not sure I follow this either Paul

 

[sackracing]

I can’t see the relation to traction control. The rule was put in when Dick Kereny was going fast and using one. It wasn’t traction control related.

 

[sackracing]

M1?????

 

[Tweeked6]

More like a rule clarification on M1

 

[sackracing]

Keep in mind there are only a few Rules that really affect the speed of the class

Stock suspension
Weight
Cylinder heads
Turbo size
Tire size
Fuel

Everything else is just stuff that makes car count suffer
