X2! Ive been on quite a few tracks around the state and a couple out of state. Its the best one Ive ever pulled on. Better tell your driveline parts to bring their "A" game. This track will seperate the men from the boys:rockwoot: They have a great facility. Plenty of pit parking, in house scale, great track crew, and it always runs smoothly. It would be a good time for a lot of folks to get a hook in before the TS event.
 
Can't wait for the Dyno in Stanford, just got some new sticks should make things a little more interesting. Jay
 
Suspension: Rear suspension may be blocked solid. Ladder bars are allowed but must be easily removed. Work stock

Rear suspensions can be blocked but must have 1" of travel
2.6

Hmm why is work stock blocked and well from what I read 2.6 is like both blocked but 1" travel ??? I guess this is a new rule I'v never seen that b4

1' rule stuff kinda sucks, I can see it in WS
 
Should be, as long as the chargers are unmonified and on a ford. Heres the rule:

Turbocharger: Turbo must a stock OEM unmodified turbo. Turbos may be swapped for another turbo from a one-ton truck or less from the same manufacturer. If turbo is swapped from year to year it must retain factory configuration.
 
I'm just curious what association these rules are from? Wide open or somewhere else? thanks

Matt
 
I think they are their own rules but took some ideas/concepts that mimic other local rules from NKTPA (which is pretty much same as NADM) and BOB (Battle of Bluegrass).

From Lincoln Fair Board:

We have just cancelled the dyno machine for Diesel Mania. We have decided to cancel this because of weather. We are still hopeful for the rest of activities going on throughout the day to still go as planned. The track is still covered and ready to pull on so check back for updates throughout today and tomorrow.
 
Posted by lincoln county fair.

It is 8:30 am in Stanford. As of right now we are still having the event. As time progresses we will know more. We will be posting info here to keep you updated. Please be patient with us. Our ultimate goal is the pull tonight and is rain persists we will not uncover track util last possible minute to build the track for pulling. Rough guess this will be about 3:00 pm
