I'm building a new car for next year, and I'm trying not to 'rule' myself out of any specific claases. I generally run the MAKO series out of OK but I've wanted to come race with you guys down there.I read the rules under the "Rules" section...
And I was just wanting to clarify a few things...
You can have mini-tubs but no rear coilovers?
No motorplates?
I'm not trying to stir the pot...I'm just trying to make sure I understand correctly...
Thanks! |

No rear coilovers. You can have a mid plate, but no front motor plate.
Bring it down!!! We need more T/S cars! |

They voted that in last year to try and up the car count. But on the 275 D.R. I believe almost all the fast cars in the country are stock suspension. So yes, you are right.
What rule is keeping you from coming down??? Motor plate, coilover, both? |

coilovers carry a 100 lb. penalty, but you can run them in the class! |

You sure on that? I could have sworn last year at the meeting it was stated that coil overs were only for the front and accessed a penalty. Could be wrong though.
Either way, they need to do something to get the car count up. Love to see a 16 car T/S field. |

| Coil overs are legal for TS with NO added weight. Only the ladder bars get 100 pounds. |
