He runs consistently in the top 5 of 2.8 trucks in ITPA, and you don't think he would have gotten anything close to first place in the 2.6 class? Get real. Secondly, I have yet to hear Dan BRAG about winning SDX 2.6 and I was just at his house tonight

Need anyone say any more?

There were a lot of us preppared with bushings in the trailer if needed to run the 2.6 class. Our 2.6 (ITPA) guys worked hard this year and deserved a chance to make the big show so most of us decided to not interfer or upset the class.

That being said, if Dan or a few others had not of won the class...the bushing rule would stand for next year. Since a 2.8 truck won and another one got second...maybe Dan (Sheid) will change the rule? You guys need to make Dan (Sheid) aware of your issues and see if he will change it back for next year? Just food for thought. You do not need to tech all the chargers to see if the wheel protrudes into the housing...you only need to impound the top 10 in qualifying and in the finals to catch a cheater and make a example of them and detour anyone else from cheating.

Those who show respect for fellow pullers, earn respect.

It's like Ben, Evan, Brandon, myself or any other of the 2.6 pullers dropping down into a workstock class, cause a rule "mistake" and then expecting the pullers to still respect them for doing it.
 
Why not just get everyone on the same page? From NADM

Turbocharger: The vehicle is limited to a single turbocharger; the inducer bore on the
compressor housing may be 2.6”. The inlet will be measured using a 2.65-inch plug or internal
calipers. Bushing from any larger turbo size down to a 2.6 turbo is PROHIBITED. A stock
map width enhancement (MWE) groove is allowed. No MWE groove will be allowed that has a
width greater than 1/4 inch. All provisions allowing air to the wheel other than via the bore and
the MWE groove are prohibited. 6.4 liter Powerstroke engines may utilize the factory twin-turbo
configuration.

You will never stop creativeness but this may be a good start.

You never made a point. You quoted two things I said and then made open ended statement.

And I'm glad I make your point stick hard... :homo:

I don't know if you run a stepped cover or not, but several of the trucks pulled in the class with a stepped cover. Stepped cover, no different than a bushing. I have seen one of those trucks pull with a 3.0 cover on the turbo, and then uses a 2.6 cover for 2.6 pulls.

Dan and Scott met the rules of the class.

If you actually look at ITPA's website, Dan is way down in the standings, and I don't even thing Amos is running ITPA. So can you really cay those are 2.8 trucks? They were strong 2.8 trucks a few years back, but the class has gotten stronger.

Not a flame at you Wes, just some folks are complaining about bushed chargers in the 2.6 class when I am sure there were several stepped covers in the class as well.

SDX is over this year, and maybe these lessons learned can be applied to next years rules for other pulling organizations.

Secondly, I have yet to hear Dan BRAG about winning SDX 2.6 and I was just at his house tonight. He didn't even bring the pulling part of SDX up. Thirdly, 1st pays, 10th doesn't. Where did you finish? Maybe you're pissed because you went home without even your entry fee back...And you are still missing the entire point all together. HE WON AND FOLLOWED THE RULES EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE WRITTEN! Did anyone that is here b!tching go to anyone teching at SDX and ask to have Dan's truck re-teched/weighed...NO. Do you sit here and complain about it 4 days later on the internet about how he didn't get re-teched/re-weighed...YES. If you've got issues with the way all of your rehook attempts were denied, or whatever the case may be, my suggestion is to take that up with Dan Scheid AT THE PULL!



Probably, because it's still a "2.8 truck".

I didnt say it wasnt strong enough to be first without a doubt he has a good running truck. but if he wouldve pulled where he drawed then he wouldve been lucky to have made it to the top 15 ryan uptegraft is jus as strong as dan and pulled like 5 trucks after his first attempt and was only 319 the track got better and better for every truck that pulled.

Those rules allow stepped covers, and actually would allow a turbo capable of pulling more air than the scheid bushing rule. Are those the complete rules from NADM turbo specs?

C & P from the 2.6 rules
 
Make the 2.6 only run single pumps. Have all the air you want but not enough fuel
 
This would make tech fairly easy also. I know some will complain but that is motorsports.

How?

Scheid required the bushing to be within 3/4" of the wheel(which is usually .050") I don't see anywhere in the NADM rule that says how close the step has to be. It could be two inches away, and maintained for only .25" correct?

Ok, see your point there, When i think of stepped cover i think of wheel protrusion step, vs. your thinking of a stepped cover, which is a bushing made into the housing, correct?

Yes, sorry for the confusion.
 
well I know for a fact a bushed charger will make more power than a stepped charger.. which a stepped charger is what everyone in the top of 2.6 is running right now... except me but im not in the top so I dont count...:hehe:
