You are correct, under the current 2005 rules below any size was allowed provided it was A/A and on race Fuel. One of the things I keep hearing is make it unlimited motor combos so we can race anywhere. Under the current FSTA rules you can go anywhere, but there are many places you can't go with Tall Decks, Big Chief heads, 3 Kits, 2 Carbs, A/W IC, etc. A current FSTA car can run in The Clash, TTT5, Prescott, Clobberthon TT5, and many others so it is not a case of building a car to fit just one place, it is the case of exsisting cars that were built years ago to fit certain places having to step back and regroup while allowing cars being built, able to pick where they want to race. Just my opinion though...

* Any single turbo or centrifugal supercharger
* Air to air intercooler/aftercooler only. No other aux. cooling devices allowed to cool air charge
* Alcohol allowed only on carbureted, non turbo/blown entries

Those rules look great Greg. Just chance the alcohol carburetor part and I'll be ok. LOL
Yes we can race anywhere with the current rules but just not be competitive. Thats what I'm trying to get at.How about the conventional heads and any power adder? Thats the rules I like I just brought up any heads for those ford guys that want yates heads. Just consider me a guine pig on the alcohol carburated turbo thing. It was something different and really cheap to get into that should make good power, but not proven yet. Anyone in this class can go turbo if they want so think for others not just me. I thought turbos were really expensive like everyone else before I bought one.A new turbo and wastegate is cheaper than most people have in their nitrous, then you just need to build headers. You can ever run a junkie motor with a turbo and not blow it up. You don't need all the fancy parts like you do with blower or nitrous. Believe me I bought a 10 year old small block ford and freshened it up for this turbo change. Low dollar

I would say we do pretty well, Kyle has traveled more than most of us with his Short deck stock suspension camaro and made a lot of people think twice. Some rules and classes have been modified because of the Bad9er. Now you add Catdog, Kyle Box, Mike Kurtz, Chip, John Flores,etc and you have a pretty quick bunch.

Lets set up a match race with all of them, David wolf and Justin Curry. Not competative in other classes.Not trying to be an ass and nothing against any of these guys just trying to show you my point. With more open rules all of these guys would be on Wolf and Currys door.
