what about drawbar style hiches? PPL has change the rules for 2.6, so we are now doing a drawbar style, would be a good test hook if we get the truck done by then.
 
as for electric steering im not sure on that. These are the rule i was given. Call Mike on that. As for the hitch ive ran a draw bar style there as long as it not past center line of rear axle. Best thing is to call Mike who will be over the diesel trucks.

Any word on payouts and is there going to be an open class? If so will we have time to swap chargers between classes?
