Thanks

 

who does the revisions and updates for nostalgia heritage ?? i need a copy

 

I can't find anything on the Toyo, is that the slick that was never made that
I tryed last year? Is it DOT approved now?

 

pure street rules state you have to run stock oem exhaust?wtf only the header can be added!

 

I swear this has to be the most emotional I have been before a season

First, rules/classes were released with no Quick 16 class - sad
Then there is going to be a Quick 16 class - happy
But has to be older than a 1992 - sad
Now no model year limitations - happy

Now, I'm sad again because diesel is $4 a gallon.

haha, I'm done being all emotional.....

I thought I was the only one that noticed that!!!

Theres a station around the corner from me at $4.12

Now think, its not even summer peak season yet!!!

We will probably see $4.50 to to maybe $5.00 a gallon!!!

I just filled up at $3.87/gal diesel and it took $128.

 

I just got done towing to from indy to dallas and back to indy. We had several fill ups over $150.

Right now, if my tank were empty, it would cost over $170 to fill it up.

Back in 03 when I raced, it was around $70-$80 tops for a fill up.

It's looking like about $800-$1000 a race just in fuel (round trip) for us at least.

 

Kinda strange, they are listed as slicks. Don't see a thing about DOT..

To make it worse I just gave the darn things away, never frigured they
would be legal for PS

The way that section reads, I would think that's only true for factory unmuffled cars trying to remain unmuffled.

Pretty sure thats what it means . . .

NHRA/NOPI made a mistake and revised the rules on 3/19. The Toyo slicks are not DOT-legal therefore not allowed in Power Street. The Toyos, 25x9-15 and 26x9-15, are legal in Turbo Street.

Hope that clears it up.
