SPI 2.6 rule changes

I'd be intrested on the turbo rule that would be inclusive, are you guys thinking a 3.0 bushing in front of a current 2.6 charger would be an option if 3.0 smoothbore is a deffinitly going to happen?

I am only offering my thoughts on the turbo rules, not on the drive line, but what Pete and I have discussed;

Keeping the 2.5" bushing rule for the small frame turbos, adding a true 2.5" rule for the larger frame turbos ie; S400/GT42.

Allowing a bushed 2.6" in the same fashion as 2.5", adding a limited MWE groove protrusion 2.6" rule, and also the PPL 3.0" smooth bore rule.

These will have clear diagrams, clear rule wording, and should create a level playing field while still trying to allow as many people to pull as possible. Pete has been very accepting to any help I have offered, and I believe he truly has the puller's best interests in mind as do I.

Using the term "cheater" doesn't make sense when we are not the only ones doing it, and it is legal by the current rules.

It is in fact a correct term.... To whoever is running them, that is not the "neck area" by my and many others definitions... Just because you guys read it differently and Haisley got Mears to go along with it, doesn't make it "not cheating." Just another's piss poor definition

PPL determined what the neck area is, not Haisley, or Eric, or myself.
 
I sent you a PM. This is not the place to discuss what happened in PPL this year, this is a discussion about Shootout Productions and the rules they are looking to implement.

I would like to see rules locked for 3 years so it's not a pissing match at the end of every season.
 
Locking in rules world be a nice thing to have so you're not spending money just to continue to conform every year

The idea was to allow the bushed 2.6", protrusion 2.6" and 3.0" smooth bore to be in the same class. The MWE restriction would not allow the larger covers seen in PPL this year, this would allow more options to the pullers while keeping the power across all three competitive.
