2015 ppl 2.6 rules

[Smokem]

What I heard.

7800 lbs
No turbo or driveline change
Some clarification on the use of biodiesel.

158" 2.6 wheelbase I was told also.

 

[lawnboy01]

Is that a typo ^^^ ?

 

[kleann]

Doubt it, that's what 3.0 is. Sucks for the guys that are 2.5 inches too long, though.

Yeh because that's an easy/cheap fix on the long trucks... fukin idiots. Smooth bore turbos and taking off more than a measly 200# must be way to hard to implement.

Is there really truth to this?

Seems to me like turning 5K turbos into door stops would be a hell of a lot easier and in the end cheaper than cutting an entire chassis up to meet wheelbase rules. Just a non-puller's opinion though.

The dumb that comes out of these rules meeting never stops amazing me.

No billet heads.

It has been in the rules since 2011 but they chose to let it go. Maybe they just decided to police the rules that have been written? 3.0 has been there for a couple years

200 lb isn't making any difference to the class.

I would have liked to see 3.0 smooth but not surprised that it fell on deaf ears. How much are the new 2.6 chargers are going to be for a gt55, s500, hx80 variant?

Dollar wise they are in the $5k+ range

If you check out the 2014 rulebook there is no 158" rule.

I don't see that you can rule out a oem factory wheel base truck with a wheel base rule..

PPL can do whatever they like its their association to run. I think it will be interesting to see if they enforce rules like oem driveline next year in 2.6.

They do it in 3.0 why cant they do it in 2.6?

 

[DMDP]

If your gonna enforce a wheelbase rule that makes FACTORY cclb trucks illegal, then we should limit the amount of weight a single cab can hang out front. What a BS rule if it's true... I don't care what class it is

 

[ComnRailPwr]

So you would be ok with it if they came out and said 145" max wheelbase in 3.0? I would be ok with the rule if it was that way all along but I don't believe it has been.

 

[DMDP]

How is this gonna fix the breakage problems?

Whats the weight difference between a long wheelbase truck and a rclb. Its prolly only like 200lbs. If you dont have much haning weight on a long wheelbase truck you need to put your truck on a diet.

So limiting the wheel base 10 inches is gonna fix the 2.6 class?
