Rules- who to follow

[Norris]

I am doing the basics right now, ladder bars and hitch work on my dodge. But whose rules are easiest to follow and would adapt if i want to pull someone elses event?

Is wide opena good set to follow? DHRA? HSTPA?

Thanks guys!

How big of a charger do you have on your rig? If its a 2.6" or a 2.8" I would'nt worry about it as all the national organizations have those classes.

HSTPA doesn't have a diesel truck class do they? ITPA would be the most local competitive pulls, but your running with a few of the top trucks in the nation. ITPA runs a 2.8 bushed charger with a maximum OD of the compressor housing. Basically an s400 or gt4202 works for that class. All safety equipment.

itps needs a 2.6 bad! another year of brush pulling it sucks

HSTPA does not have a diesel class.

Here is a link to the ITPA Rules: http://www.indianatruckpullers.net/Rules.html

MICHINDOH Pullers are running two classes of trucks, street stock & hot street (points class): http://www.michindohpullers.org/

To run association events you'll have to make sure that you have all of the proper safety equipment in place (a lot of the brush pulls aren't as strict on this)

KOTTPA has a 2.5 street class, and a 3.0single/ 2.8 max twins superstreet class. Rules can be found here. http://www.kottpa.com

i wouldnt waste your time with michidoh if you read the rules its a joke the stk class and hot class are governed at the same rpm a buddy of mine wrote the rules and its a joke they only have a few diesel pulls that are local to indiana anyways so i wouldnt build your truck to their rules just my 2 cents

A few of us Michigan boys went to a Michdoh pull late last year when we didn't have anything going up here. Nice group of guys but not real big on rules.

i will have the s400 turbo, ladder bars, suspension blocks (adj.)


also WHY cant I run my good red diesel at pulls??

i was thinking ITPA would be best, but id like to run DHRA events too b.c of the indy and scheid events......

 

[zstroken]

I wouldn't run red diesel anywhere. I know two people who have been checked lately. One said he was almost into $2000 worth of fines.

jesus christmas! thats nuts... my dodge has seen the magic juice since day 1...green juice= less smoke lol

 

[bonesmx2000]

i plan to follow itpa they have good rules and are a great organization plus you get to run with some really good guys with some tuff trucks

 

[Norris]

itpa it is.

isnt that where haisleys went to now?

 

[zstroken]

Haisleys personally haven't had an ITPA truck as far as I know ever. Several of the trucks that run out of their shop run ITPA though.

Coppes, Amos, Sugg, Thomas, and Harness are the ones I can think of.

 

[Norris]

ahhh lol i always think of those trucks as haisley. wheres rock hard and OC running at?
