BBR's 83GT - 552 BBF version 3.0 (at least)

[Beagle]

Nice, mine is for sale now. Going to JATO's to keep with all the Fox bodies.

BBR is always saying "When Bill's rocketship goes blowing by".. JATO is too much for a 1/4?

It's JETCAR!

I don't see where a Turbonique Drag Axle is expressly forbidden by the Street Race N/A rules, but I expect it probably does not fit within the "spirit of the intent" of the rules. lol

The rule "begins with a capital and ends with a period." (I will hear that in a southern drawl for the rest of my life. LOL)

No such thing as intent of the rules.

You haven't lived until there's a rule created because of something you've done.

I see you've never met Keith Turk. haha

Or Freiburger. One of the rules IS "the intent of the rule" as determined by the race director or Hot Rod or such.

No shit!

We had three created before we even got the car to a race.

While I respect Mr. Turk and Mr. Frieburger, if you have to rely on the unwritten "intent" you've created a subjective environment.

Frankly, for me, half the fun is working the rules.

That also is why we push the envelope..
1 rule limited the nbr of bolts holding skins together.. All because our car stood up good
Another was banning welding the front end solid..
Ah well, what's next for 2014?

And they like it that way!!! Haha. I feel it does keep the gray area shenanigans to a minimum though.

Back on topic.....

Just wondering is a stock Trak-loc limited slip diff could actually slip both sides at the same time given enough power and traction? I really don't see why it couldn't. Hrrrrmmmmmmmm....

[BBR]

It's a good thing I do not own a CNC machine or I would have already chopped a couple of these out.... haha

[BBR]

^^^^ The solid one piece version of these.^^^^ lol

At the moment I think they can afford to not have the folks sign up that have too many grievances with subjective rules. Most the rules state clearly, if you are unsure e-mail Hot Rod. Which of course their track record shows they ignore most e-mails so it does suck to a fair degree. Locking down the rules too tightly stifles innovation and easily could cause various kinds of cars to be excluded that otherwise meet every intent. Worse case when you show up to Drag Week only has three outcomes, 1) You end up in Unlimted, 2) You end up in Daily Driver, 3) You might have to run slower than the car is capable of. Basically, you still get into the game and get to participate even in the worse case.
