Radials are only harder on parts when you are hard on the car. Wheel hop and shake can be tuned out. And like it was stated before, Trans and axle technology is light years ahead of where it was back then.

I don't care much about the size, the 225 like you stated will make this easier on gearing etc. I just stated the 235 cause that's how I setup a lot of my street customers.

I think this could become a great class an will attract and can relate to a lot of street people and will for sure make things diffent inbetween the two classes. It will force the guys at the top of the true street class to make the necessary changes to run in sfwd/super street.

 

^^^ This please..... True street should be "TRUE STREET"....... We do not need three (3) classes for hood exit exhaust!

 

It is kinda silly having 3 different 8 second classes, A 62mm or radial class would be awesome to see!

 

The 62mm is an ok idea, but it will get just like the 67mm stuff! I know you al know where I am going with that. But the drag radial stuff is truly limited especially if its a dot tire such as the 225

 

How about limiting the turbine size as well?

 

You can do that but what alot of people dont understand is what will work on one engine wont work on another. For instance K to B, xxmm turbine wheel doesnt work well on a K cause its too small but on a B its too laggy. You can run a 100mm turbine but if the compressor cant keep up it doesnt matter. Thats why the inducer is still the king of controlling power output.


Need to keep "checking" the turbos simple. Tear downs are fine and dandy but time consuming, a simple go/no-go gauge is all thats needed. But you can stop all that with just limiting the tire. Just like the domestic world, outlaw radial then 275 radial, now outlaw 10.5 is converting to outlaw 8.5. Need to just change with the times.

 

Wow so outlaw 10.5 just went to 8.5?

 

I used to love the drag radial class that NSCRA had, it would be nice to see it done again.

 

they didnt change it but the top guys are either stepping up to pro mod or stepping into 8.5. That seems to be theh hot new class for the next few years

 

Would love to see a 62mm series.

 

That would be. Good about drag radials

 

i like the drag radial idea !!!

 

we've tried a drag radial class, turnout was low every time.

IFO has a 62mm class. it's called Forced Induction Sport. It's our most popular class.

We host our events almost every weekend across the country. The classes are built around the type of cars that actually show up, not the e-racer talk.

 

e-racers ahahahahaa, thats honda tech though.

 

 

patiently waiting for the new rules so i can make a decision on what turbo to order. what started off as a sfwd car slowly began to diminish into something for a more affordable class like 10.50 index. however if the true street class really get turned into a 62mm class id be all in for it. it should bring in a nice amount of racers, because itll be more affordable...

 

huh? how in the world will a 62mm class be more affordable? True street wont see many changes.

In the end this is heads up drag racing and if you think for a second that just because a 62mm limit will be brought in it will cut the cost of building a competitive car you are nuts.

 

just figured, smaller turbo, less power output, less expensive parts needed to make competitive power. however you are right afer i sat and thought about it. im sure if this happened turbo companies will begin to produce better technology on these 62's and it will end up just like the 67's where they are making tons of power. either way still waiting on the rules because my car is sitting waiting...

 

Race 10.50 index and have fun.

 

10.50 is an awesome class. i ran it last year and had a lot of fun. however in 2013 i'm putting my big boy pants on and running sfwd

 

Jason just make sure the 67mm turbo xducer on the compressor is less then 102mm .
should be like 96mm or something.
I like how you set the rules on the compressor cover for your sfwd class , just need to police and inforce the rules . looking forward to your events next year.

 

Lol, yeah cause the exducer does a whole lot! Where does your math of 96 come from? What equation did you use to come up with that?

You talking about this rule? This very exact rule makes every damn turbo with a "ported" compressor housing deemed "illegal". I guess no ported housings at all is what the rule should say. Right Jason?

 

If there becomes a 62mm, limited to Drag Radials class, I will build a car for it.

 

Not to knock your aspirations of building a car... but shouldn't "True Street" be an entry level car WITHOUT a 3 page parts list and 5 race seasons build time?

Someone tell me if i am the only one that sees it this way? A 62mm turbo limit for a True Street class car... winner payout $300? A 67mm turbo limit for FWD class, dash needed and with a winner payout of $1200... and FIP with the same payout with whatever transmission and lexan and no dashboard needed with a 76mm limit? I'm sorry but the payout is way too small to have all this commotion about rule changes? Yes I agree their needs to be separation between the classes, but i would assume that the real racers ill step up into a higher class with better payouts! I would rather stick to a 67mm and a consistent 800WHP and take my chances of a bigger payout against those boys with dog gear boxes and 1000+ WHP! Hell, don't the ladies in bikini contest get more than $300? Best of Car Show gets $500! Can we argue to find a way increase the payout for a 62mm class instead of crying about who's legal or stepping up/down, just my .03 cents!
