Hey Chris I am interested man. Just shoot me any information that I will need about it. I could try and make it to as many pulls as possible. Just let me know. Thanks.
 
they got rid of 100mm and went to the compressor diamter
 
Yes they did do away with the 100mm rule. The rules are as house posted.

Thanks Chris Hendershot
 
As of right now i thing there are four or five. I'll have to check to see if any others have signed up.

Thanks Chris Hendershot
 
Thats alot of driveline rules for street trucks. yes I know the power of them now. Just makes it alot of work for people to get in.

Yeah..I am interested but I still have to throw a few things on the truck like driveshaft loops and shields..but I am working on it.
 
MOst leagues have to for insurance but I dont agree on the street class. 2.8 class ya but not the 2.6. I know some 2.6 turn 5K+ and 700hp+ but not right for some to have box and small charger to have to have loops and cross bolts...
 
I have seen trucks with a stock turbo trash a driveshaft. Guys its not that hard to put all they safety stuff on a truck. I can't believe all the people that spend thousands to make more power but whine about spending a couple hundred for safety stuff.$.02
 
Their insurance is the reason for all the safety rules. It really isn't that difficult to put some shields and loops on and what ever else it calls for. just takes time times and a little money.
 
Im getting my drive shaft loops and sheilds on for less than 100 bucks.....thats a lot cheaper than a law suit!!!


Im trying to get things in line Chris/ Its kinda hard to committ when the truck isnt ready and i dont have a tow rig and trailer......
