lets bring back the old 275 class

[CDOGSN95]

A unified and uniform set of rules would be a "huge" step in the right direction; establish base weights with no restrictions other than design of the Plate/Blower/Turbo and let em eat. I think you would see some class crossover occur and a stronger movement take place. Everyone would know what to expect and when someone gets out front (which they will) you know what you need to do to get there. In my opinion, this needs to be given some serious thought...

I agree. I mean, with all these jet restrictions per various head design, who's policing this? Was anyones jets checked at the last Sunshine race? Were weights enforced? The rules just look confusing with all the different weight +'s and -'s, .073, .082, .093, small solenoids, 15 - 18 degree, canted heads get this or don't get that, etc... Look at the VMP rules but find a way to keep boosted combo's in, big blocks in, but keep it simple.

I would also agree we should all park the race cars and go boating on race day! Much cooler, less expensive, hot half naked chics, cold beer, and everbody would get along with no rule bickering!

Now thats a plan and there are no rules to tech

The way its going Modified Street is looking better every day

Yes, Joe and I checked all jets and teched every car. Weights were applied to the windshield and every car crossed the scales. Also I teched Howard Spires Immediately after he won and Joe teched Rick.

This is what I posted over at the UORS Website as my input for their rules and I know Eric had input also with them.

I hope you guys and gals don't mind I bolded some stuff that may keep some folks out and looked at weights other class that are like this run. What do you think?

We have a good set of Rules now...I think we could look at everyone's overall combo and figure out which Jet & Weight those cars need to be under to keep the class competitive and have close racing, We know what cars needs to be in what catagory based off the Cylinder Heads and ET's they are running...We know who goes where!! Just a Thought.

I would like to see some of you guys make a lists and see if we can all get on the same page...

We can make it Unlimited Jet for you guys @3000#...Just throwing out some ideas, Nobody is responding so i guess this would be the wrong direction, I know everybody wants there .093 jet - .098 jet...But all that did was put a bigger gap between the 2 sides, it didn't close the gap and slow the class down like every one is saying they want...We got to figure out something quick because we wont ever be the "ONLY" car at the race on a .082 jet again!
