Ditch the true radial rule. The last thing an event needs is a class of cars tearing the track up for the rest of the classes. All classes should require drag radials like BFG, M/T as a minimum.

Like was already said. This class will be extremely boring racing on true radials and a full tree. Let them have good tires so they can leave on some boost. The Pro-tree is much more fun once you try it. You see yellow and you go.
 
Great feedback folks. I will adjust the rules and post them for review. Thanks again.

Factory Stock Appearing – FSA

General

Most parts of the car will fall into one of four categories:

1) “Correct” OEM parts. These parts must be proper and they must be Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) parts, no aftermarket external markings of any type. Examples: Intake manifold and cylinder heads.

2) “Correct” parts. These parts are the same as “Correct” OEM parts, except they do not need to be OEM manufactured. Reproduction parts, that duplicate the Correct* Original parts in appearance, form, function and material and are primarily designed as “restoration” parts are allowed, as long as they comply with all other applicable rules. Examples: wheels, upholstery, emblems, replacement sheet metal, etc.

3) “Spec” parts. Parts that meet a specification defined in the rules, but are not necessarily “Correct” or stock appearing. Examples: tires, exhaust system. Note: Every effort should be made to achieve a stock “look” with these parts. For example; your car did not come from the factory with a 2-1/2” mandrel bent exhaust system. But it is specified in the rules that you may run one. Do not have it powder coated pink or highly polished stainless. Rather, try to keep the finish somewhat consistent with what the original correct* exhaust system would have been.

4) Correct Appearing. Everything not specified otherwise must be correct appearing. “Correct appearing” and “appearing correct” means: upon a cursory visual inspection by someone reasonably familiar with the year, make and model claimed, it looks like a “correct” part.

Heads-up 4-tenths pro tree start and pro ladder. (1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14, 4 vs 13, 5 vs 12, etc....)
All cars racing in the Turbo Heads-Up racing classes must be owned and driven by a current member of the GSCA.
No peer technical inspections relating to safety equipment rules by class participants or peers, Beech Bend Raceway track safety technician personnel will make all rulings on track safety related items.
Winner and runner-up are subject to re-weigh and re-tech immediately after final round or at any other time.
Any entrant caught trying to deliberately break the rules will be disqualified from the FSA class.

Jim,

Explain the reasons for the following:

1.) Why allow frame rail notching? That shouldn't even be a thought on this class.

2.) Why allow a 3" DP when running the stock turbo? IMHO, if the class is for stock appearance and you go through the lengths of making the stock turbo a rule so should the DP.

3.) Stock MAF or translator MAF only. Kinda caters to a particular vendors product... Any MAF, all air must pass through & be measured by the sensor. Those are actually my words that were added (2) years ago to the other H-U classes.

4.) Again... Why high impedence injectors only?? That makes absolutely no sense, as mentioned in an above post.

5.) Trans-brake?... What!!


K.
 
I can tell you one thing. I see no reason for running a pro tree in such a class. Many of the folks that would like to run their "stock" cars probably don't have a wealth of experience at the track and will immediately be discouraged by those that do have such experience killing them on the tree.
Why a pro tree? why not a standard bracket tree? The pro tree suggested by those that can "nail" it?

The Pro Tree Kicks ass for Turbo Buicks, since no trans brake nonsense will be involved with the class. No "experience" is required and it takes about 3 times to figure it out. When the yellow lights flash, floor it and release the brakes.

It's also better for the fans who watch the races as they will go to the finish and not be over at the tree by redlight.

The Buick vs. Mustang shootout in Oklahoma went to Pro tree and almost every race is worth watching vs. Pre Pro tree, when it was 25+ Buick losses to Redlights from pushing through the lights. The only people bitching are the ones with monster turbos that take time to spool. This shouldn't be a problem with a "stock" class.

Sorry, after a little over 40 years of bracket racing off a standard tree, I guess a pro tree didn't sound appetizing.
 
how about letting in TTAs? :biggrin:

NO :biggrin:

Unless the TTAs are required to meet a 3700 lb requirement.
As known the TTAs are 2 tenths and 2 mph faster do to areodynamics, so lets make it fair :)

The first set of rules are looking great, keeping the car stock appearing as possible.

One question. Stock electric fan only, or can we run the dual fans that most venders are selling?
Thanks
BW
 
I agree. If any one of the above is ruled to be stock, they all should.


K.


Its a stock turbo class, i would like to see more people running low 12s consistantly with a 3 inch downpipe and a few mods to make it interesting.

If this class does turn up for next year, why not make it interesting and see how fast some cars can go with some decent modifications done to the car and limit it to the stock turbo?

I do see alky kits are on the lists, man that helps everyone out :biggrin:

BW
 
NO :biggrin:

Unless the TTAs are required to meet a 3700 lb requirement.
As known the TTAs are 2 tenths and 2 mph faster do to areodynamics, so lets make it fair :)

I'll run a TTA meeting the rules at 3700 lbs :) Wont have to add much weight either, last time I weighed one of my stockers it was 3610 with me in it :eek:

As for being faster due to aerodynamics, I dont belive at the speeds a stock turbo can reach that aerodynamics plays THAT big a part.
 
The rules look good, but I wouldn't get too picky about things like stock crossover pipes. Almost every car I've owned the crossover was hammered dog crap and had to be replaced. I didn't replace it with a "stock" one, but my car didn't get any faster, either.

Stock equivalent or stock replacement should be good enough.

It's silly you could run a THDP but have to run the factory crossover.

If you make the stuff that actually effects performance mandatory like Turbo elbow or stock neck intercooler, the other stuff you can be less picky about.

Well noted and good point. I will adjust the rules accordingly and post them. There have been several changes made.

Here is what we have thus far -

Factory Stock Appearing – FSA

General

Most parts of the car will fall into one of four categories:

1) “Correct” OEM parts. These parts must be proper and they must be Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) parts, no aftermarket external markings of any type. Examples: Intake manifold and cylinder heads.

2) “Correct” parts. These parts are the same as “Correct” OEM parts, except they do not need to be OEM manufactured. Reproduction parts, that duplicate the Correct* Original parts in appearance, form, function and material and are primarily designed as “restoration” parts are allowed, as long as they comply with all other applicable rules. Examples: wheels, upholstery, emblems, replacement sheet metal, etc.

3) “Spec” parts. Parts that meet a specification defined in the rules, but are not necessarily “Correct” or stock appearing. Examples: tires, exhaust system. Note: Every effort should be made to achieve a stock “look” with these parts. For example; your car did not come from the factory with a 2-1/2” mandrel bent exhaust system. But it is specified in the rules that you may run one. Do not have it powder coated pink or highly polished stainless. Rather, try to keep the finish somewhat consistent with what the original correct* exhaust system would have been.

4) Correct Appearing. Everything not specified otherwise must be correct appearing. “Correct appearing” and “appearing correct” means: upon a cursory visual inspection by someone reasonably familiar with the year, make and model claimed, it looks like a “correct” part.

How about running a 8" slick instead of the 10" slick??

Any MAF??

Does the stock turbo have to have the Garrett .63 exhaust housing on it??
