Over 15 USA-EAST member trucks from the Open 2.6 Diesel class gathered at the Hampton Inn in Hermitage, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night to discuss the rules for the class for 2015.
Some of the highlights of the meeting were:
* Class will be called Super Street Diesel (2.6) in 2015 in order to differentiate between the new 8500 Work Stock (2.5) class that will begin next season.
* There are no changes to the current turbo charger rule for 2015.
* There are no changes to current wheelbase rule for 2015.
* Rear brakes will no longer be required in the class.
* Batteries and Fuel Cells will be permitted in front of the radiator core.
* Interiors may be removed in order to bring USA-EAST rules in line with Central Ohio Truck rules
The goal was to attempt to make USA-EAST rules as inclusive as possible. These rules are designed to allow all trucks the opportunity to compete with USA-EAST in 2015. This is merely some the changes that were discussed and is by no means the final rule product. Complete rules will be posted on our web site in the near future.
