Agreed....

So how about $15,000 if the 7 second pass is done on a 72mm still? What FWD cars run a 76mm turbo currently?

face it, OL FWD as a competition class is dying/dead. The few who are sticking with it are just going for headlines, now they really can if want.

...and it's not like you MUST run a 76. $10k if you hit it on a 72 ;-)

I'm thinking you guys are mixing up the IFO classes, FIP and FWD?

FWD class is 72/25 max.

FIP class was 76/28 max for A/RWD vehicles and 72/26 max for FWD vehicles, but now it's 76 for all... R/A/FWD.

Absolutely nothing has changed in regards to the $10k challenge.

yea. so having 76mm cars in FIP is dumb in my opinion. and maybe others as well.

Means that SFWD / True Street style cars wont be competitive. We will have to run against 76mm Front, Rear, and All wheel drive cars. in addition to Pro-Stock cars. Sounds like a free-for-all with no real kind of limitations.

You have the classes mixed up...

SFWD/True street style cars race in the IFO class, "FWD" which is a 25" tire and 72mm turbo limit. They do NOT race against A/RWD vehicles or 26" tire FWDs.

26" FWD class race in the FIP class against 76 mm limit R/AWD vehicles, but now the FWD cars can have 76mm too (if they want).
