Pro Street - SFI rule committee

[Ryan Tucker]

Im looking for the bible verse that applys here............i thought GH had quoted it before about his competetors weights and such. Maybe im mistaken?

 

[joefarmer]

I asked my chassis guy yesterday out of curiosity and he hadn't heard anything.

Did anyone that submitted there contact information actually get a phone call from SFI? I did not.

The emails were sent out. I think I saw Cordova and Dow on the email list. PM me your email if you didn't get it and I'll let Adam/Mike know.

 

[joefarmer]

SCORE and BITD both use similar rules regarding cages and such but the BITD puts their rulebook on line so that is the easiest to access.

Here is a link to it: http://www.bitd.com/images/stories/pdfs/2015_CTRuleBook.pdf

Thank you Chris!

I noticed Dow brothers email is missing the R and I get an autonotification showing incorrect email address for them.

I just reviewed the 25.6 draft. Getting closer to reality.

What do you think of it? I wonder how they came up with the tubing specs.

Care to elaborate??? What is the proposal/draft saying the requirements will be?

It's an early draft that hasn't really been released yet. The draft looks good. Mainly bumps material specs then may add a bar or two. I think it's a step in the right direction. The weight limit is still being discussed but the proposed limit surprised me.

Cool! I am excited to see results from this!

Ahh....another one of these then I take it.

Nhra 8.50 cage won't be upgradable unfortunately.

Nhra 8.50 cage won't be upgradable unfortunately.

Care to share why

 

[bgreen776]

Because an 8.5 NHRA cage is made from 1-5/8 tubing and the new draft calls 1.75 tubing. You would be better off with an NHRA roll bar to start with.

Care to share why

Because this new spec calls for tubing size that no other nhra spec calls for. From an engineering standpoint, part of the spec makes no sense.

It doesn't seem like much thought or consideration went into this draft. This doesn't just affect us, there are lots of fast LS trucks out there that will have to deal with this.

I wish they would take the advice of people on the committee and make the new spec an addition to the current spec, instead of a complete tear out and rebuild. :badidea:

And you expected something to make sense? Ask, and ye shall receive.

Are the role bars 1.75 standard?

 

[bgreen776]

Yes

Can anyone give us an update on the current 25.6 situation?
