Ok guys and gals we had an amazing showing for the T4 and SP classes last event and we are hoping to get the Q8 and F8 classes going again! please guy we need interest back into these classes to keep them going! I no alot of people are in the building and rebuilding of there projects!

I have received many calls and pm's concerning people who would like to donate product and sponsors stuff to some of the championship fund for the end of year bonus stuff! I applaud you and appreciate all everyone is doing for our sport! And a special thanks the Bisi and Heddie for there major support! more to add to that later!

Last Guys and gals the scales will be working soon and don't be surprised when you are stopped for a fuel check in the near future so that means no U2 or U4 oxygenated fuels and no nitro mixes! Check the accepted fuel list for battle and follow it. it would suck to lose all your championship points if you were caught cheating! most of the time you will be taken on your honor as a racer but don't get caught!

Last tony and Jennifer would like to thanks all of you who have supported CMI's for as long as you have and we have some exciting news to bring to you soon! again good luck to everyone and god bless!

Okay T4 guys this means you guys better have:

1. Cages for 135mph or faster
2. Window net for any cars requiring a cage
3. Master cutoff switch for any cars going 135mph or faster
4. Neck Collars for driver of any car going 135mph or faster
5. 2500 lbs. weight
6. DOT rear Skinny tires ( the older model M&H are not DOT)
7. Wheel Studs

This is all taken from the BOTI rule book

Just trying to give you guys a heads up because If rules are going to be implemented then just be ready.

 

that includes no lexan and methanol in street power right?

 

So the 25 inch slick size is set now too - and if you cant fit the 13 inch rim you are forced to run the 24.5x8 ?

 

interesting..

 

 

Are people going to be able to run the QS H2B kit? Because its not listed in the BOTI rulebook. Only the Evolution kit is listed. That would be a shame if people could not run the QS kit.

The kit QSD kit is legal, see the NHRA rule book.

I dont think the DOT skinnys are required in BOTI. Only in NHRA

 

Is there a weight limit?

 

Well if the QS kit is legal then that means BOTI is referencing off of NHRA rules so that means you need DOT rear skinny tires for BOTI this year.

not for street power. if going by boti rules.

 

According to Chad and Tony at the drivers meeting at the last CMI, CMI will be going by
BOTI rules. BOTI does not require DOT rear skinnys, BOTI does not require diapers or catch pans. As far as the QS H2B kit, they have been allowed at BOTI events before so I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed now, even though they are not in the rule book. This has been my experience.

 

THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY OF THE RACERS ARE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH IT IF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING.

THAT WOULD ALSO INCLUDE HAVING A NINE SEC. LICENSE AND NRHA CERTIFIED CAGE (T4 CLASS)

^ Very true. No point having any rules if they are not going to be inforced.

I highly doubt there will be anyone checking weight of cars after each pass.

its about time cmi changes the rules. should of made thoses changes really really long time ago.

 

javier, boti will implement every rule and stick to it. i cannot speak about cmi, but im hoping they will as well.

you never called back dude! lol ttyl.

 

first of all these rules are being implemented to follow period we will enforce every rule to the tee! second if a fellow racer is breaking the rules protest! we will look into every protest but dont cry wolf unless you know for a fact that racer doesnt have the proper saftey equipment, license, or other illegal part on the car!

im think we may change the t4 rule for tire size to 26' x 9 or 10 but i need everyones input! we are trying to keep breakage to a minimum! and down time!

the quarter sport h2b kit will be allowed!

and diapers/ bellie pans are not needed but are a plus due to breakage, it saves a ton of clean up time!

that is true no lexan int t4 or sp and no methanol allowed!

And last but not least the pro parking area is only for Quick 8 and Fast 8 cars only any one asked to park in the back i to please do so! Row 1 will be for SP cars only and row 2 will be for t4 cars you will be escorted in so make sure you wait when told to do so!

Thanks again for all of your help guys and gals and if you run a shop in socal please call me or tony and we can send some flyers!

 

are the scales going to be running soon?

 

im think we may change the t4 rule for tire size to 26' x 9 or 10 but i need everyones input! we are trying to keep breakage to a minimum! and down time!

Chad going to a bigger slick will cause more breakage.

myself and the tech crew and trust me we will watching and so will your competitors!

 

i know its just up for discussion!

 

I think all 4 cyl. quick 8 cars should have the same weight requirements.
