Are you fellas hearing anything about rule changes for the 2.5 class in 2017?
Our rules meeting is in December/January usually. Until then it's all guessing game. Most likely keep all the same. Just get rid of a lot of wording and to simplify things. If power stays where it's at now then we need filled blocks. 2.75 is around 1000hp class. We are a 1200hp class now. Their is no pint in going to an 800hp class. That's workstock.I agree, I was sort of hoping to see 2.5 go smooth bore myself. 2.75 would be awful close to 3.0 power wouldn't you think? I was hoping for something like 2.6ish myself.
You don't see the ohio rules changing now? We're trying to figure out what the rules are going to do and what we would have to change in order to align more with a national rule set.
Small frame ws/2.5 class.That's more of a workstock class correct? No 400 frames.
Their wasn't, this is why our turbo rules will likely stay the same. We don't want to go out on a whim and just pick a smoothbore Turbo and no other organizations follow. As of now we can pull Bob, darke, omtpa, itpa and are legal at all the major events.Don't believe there was any mention of adding a 2.5 class at the PPL rules meeting.

Leafs are likely gone because that was an issue this year. Their really isn't a point anyways. We already did away with rear brakes. Interior rules will likely loosen up as that is an issue. Hitch will likely open up too. Basically the more words you put in the rules the more grey areas their is to read between. I think our goal is to keep the rules as simple and basic as possible while keeping power in check where it's at. In reality these are purpose built trucks, not Street trucks. I'm not going to be the rep next year but that's what The other rep and I are shooting for. Simple rules that let you get creative as you want with the stuff that barely matters. We will stay air/air, single tire, no spacers, 24", 7800lb ect.. Just cleaning it up.Think you guys will stay reese receiver and leaf spring in rear?
