Question - Can we use a fiberglass dash as long as it is for the year of the car, painted and has the guages mounted in it? thanks

I already oked the fiberglass stock replacement dash with unc on here months ago he said just come on and race it would be fine and also what is the deal with 3200lbs Turbo small block in T/S and E/S staying at 3300 lbs. these rules do not have parity Excuse my spelling. They favor Nitrous in E/S and T/S. That is why I did not race in TTT5 in 2007 no reason to kill myself to run 5.20's at 3300lbs. We ran 5.40's in scotts car and had hell doing it. The rules need to change to 3200lbs big block and 3200lbs turbo small block 88mm nitrous small block should be 3000 and there should also be only stock suspension or ladder bar no 4 links at the rate ttt5 is going it will only have a handful of nitrous cars running and joining the true ten 5 org just like factory street.... Look at the turnout when you open the rules up. Look at DFW Outlaws no one car dominates that race and turbos would not dominate Extream street at my rules you still have to get down the track on a True 10.5 Cedric call me if want to talk about what I have to Say I would love to help grow Texas True 10.5

Man the reason I have A problem with 3300lbs is we Run Clash of titans in Stock Suspension and run a 106mm with a 91mm Reducer plate on the front we weigh 3200 because that is as light as my car would get but the rules state I can weigh 3050lbs and BB chevy Nitrous car was my competition last year running 7.70's. I can weigh 3100lbs in fun ford Street renegade with the reducer turbo and Houston TTT5 rules are 3200 lbs No turbo limit.. Texas Versus world Rules are 3200lbs No turbo limit They let the 10.5 tire and track condition limit the power.

As you can see there is a bunch of cars that dont run with the Texas TTT5 due to 3300lb rules to name a few Travis Franklin (when he had stock Rails in the car) Crede Young he has been out for years and wont run due to the weight and F2 no water rule. Ryan Martin from OKlahoma, me John Sheffield, and all of blown and turbo houston cars I understand what you guys say about your cars weigh 3300 lbs but they can get lighter than that with a few lexan and fiberglass parts. It would make the cars safer and I gurantee you would not have one car dominate if you guys would try this and if they did win three races in a row than then weight penalty should be inforced for that set up....
