Revision to CT Rule Book - Class 7200 Width Rule Revisioin |
|
|
Class 7200 Width Rule Final Revision 3/19/08 There has been much confusion about how we are going to measure the track width. After a full investigation we have come to a final conclusion. Please click "read more" to read the letter that was sent to every Class 7200 participant to read the final decision.
REVISED SPECIAL NOTE as of 3/3/08 I am very sorry, I made a mistake and I am going to again revise the rule. After additional review and numerous phone calls I have decided to NOT allow Superchargers in any class, including Class 7200. I am only allowing Turbochargers on Diesel-powered vehicles, the same rule as it's always been (SCR 33). I apologize for any inconvenience or expense this may have caused.
No Longer Effective - this is the Incorrect Special Note: Due to speaking with numerous professional engine builders Best In The Desert decided NOT to allow Turbochargers & Superchargers in Class 1400 & Class 1500. However, factory installed or aftermarket turbochargers are permitted on diesel-powered vehicles in all classes. This rule in the Car/Truck rule book has been revised as of 2/22/08.
Attention Class 7200 Participants Starting at the Terrible's "250" at Primm, Tech Inspection, be prepared to have your race vehicles track width measured at both pre-race tech and at a post-race tech. The rule is track width limited to 85". Best In The Desert Tech Crew is going to be very strict on this rule. Special Note: No superchargers or turbochargers allowed in Class 7200, except diesel-powered vehicles are allowed a turbocharger. |
