And since i received a few emails on this post ,,,,,,,to clarify I meant if the only way yates is voted in is to also let big blocks run big cheifs ,then they should have to add weight just like small blocks ........not saying i want to totaly change up the rulls and allow that like it came across but if thats what people wants then im ok by that is what was meant ....to be honest i dont think i should have to take a 100 or 200 pd hit because of the yates ,it is a small engine spraying only one kit but i just want a place to play with it so im willing to work with this if the majority will vote to find a way to let me in ........

As I'm trying to get ready for this class this is what I think: In terms of suspension, any type of traction device which bolts onto the welded tab on the rearend should be considered stock. Utilizing U-bolts to secure the bar/arm is a stock modification regardless of what type of set-up it is. Frame connectors are welded in so then front mounting points for bars/arms should be allowed as well so long as it bolts to it respectively.

For instance, if fully bolt-in kits containing lift bars and coil springs to replace leaf springs is available it should be still be considered stock. These do exist. Stock is defined as still being essentially bolted in as far as suspension goes.

In terms of engine mods, this has been going on for a while now. Allowing small blocks to run symmetrical port heads (chevy) and Yates (Ford) sbould not really constitute a weight penalty. Why? Because they're still small blocks just with better heads now. Big block heads flow way more than small blocks and there's still the cubic inch factor. A 600 plus in rat with conventional-style heads still has a huge advantage over a Yates or symmetrical headed 400 inch small block. That's for real, guys. Find some common ground on these issues so you can attract more racers and fans to FSTA events. Once again, thanks for hearing us out. Guys like me are waiting to get into the FSTA. Good luck!
