Subject: Official Rules for the 26th race

These will be the official rules for the 26th event and they will be posted on the rules link on the home page shortly. We have not had access to change the web site until this week, and now will be taking care of it ourselves. We apologize for any rules confusion.

This class is for tube chassis-type cars. Full body, doorslammer-type cars. No open wheel cars allowed.

1. The basic car will be at 2450# with a big block engine with conventional Chevrolet Mark 4 valve configuration, a 9.8" deck height block, one carburetor or fuel injector (throttle body type, not Hilborn style), and a cast single plane intake. The reasoning for the standard height block is that it limits the cubic inches to about 580. At this time, there will be no Big Chief, Olds, Pontiac, or any other pro stock-style heads allowed... period! For this race, 2 Carburetors will be allowed and will carry a 100# penalty, and any tunnel ram intake will carry a 50# penalty. Tall deck blocks will be allowed at this event, but will be subject to a P&G check for displacement (since we now have access to one), and any type engine will carry a 100# penalty if they excede 580 cubic inches. The big block Ford entries will be subject to a P&G also, since we understand they can be made larger than 580 cubic inches in the standard block. Alcohol fuel will carry a 50# penalty. You can request a P&G check, and if your displacement is less than 500 cubic inches, you will be allowed to remove 50#. Chrysler entries will be subject to tech and assessed weight at the track since we don't have any input on them at this time.

2.Basic small block entries will run at 2200#. They will be allowed a standard 23 degree head of any brand (if necessary, we will remove a valve cover and check valve angle.), any manifold, and any carburetor configuration. Any other small block inline head will be allowed at a 150# penalty, 2 carburetors at a 50# penalty, and any tunnel ram intake at a 50# penalty. Alcohol fuel carries a 50# penalty here also.

3. Any factory type automobile automatic transmission will be allowed. Aftermarket cases and bellhousings will be allowed. There will be no clutch-type, Bruno, Lenco or other aftermarket type automatics allowed. Lock-up converter types will be allowed at a 50# penalty. (we hear there are some of you with those.)

4. Any tires allowed.

5. Anyone caught in violation of any of these rules will be disqualified from racing with us for the remainder of the year, and lose any points, money earned at that race and be escorted off the premises. This race series is for you racers, and we are going to try to keep the field as level as we can. Cheating will NOT be tolerated. This is for the fun of it!

6. After this event, we will expect you racers to fill out the rules suggestion questionaires so we can review what YOU want, and we will hold a meeting before the first of the year where rules for next year will be handed out. We will put that set of rules in effect at the first race of 2003, and will keep them intact until July 1st. After the April races, we will again review your suggestions and event results, make any changes to the rules as seem necessary to keep that level field, and give you 2 months to prepare for any changes. Again, this is for the benefit of you as racers and will be kept as fair as possible so more of you can be competitive.
