Yes I read that I was just wondering if there was any discussion on twins or not and looking for a little insight on why they went to 3.0 singles when there is many twin trucks in there area.

6. One turbo with one pressure stage permitted. Maximum of 3.0” opening on intake wheel. Map width enhancement is allowed. Compressor wheel must protrude into three inch bore Intake housing may not exceed three inches Turbo mounting plates are permitted.

correct me if i am wrong, but this says (to me) that you cant run sequential turbos, but compound is fine

They were leaning on going with the PPL rules to start with. We told them without have twins allowed they would lose about 4 trucks. They felt like the twin rule would scary away new hopefuls.
This was an open meeting, anybody could of shown up and voiced there opinions.

I see I was confused I thought it might be for the street class a 3in class for the street class would stink if you wanted a slightly modified street truck/puller. I love our 2.6 class here in ohio. It's affordable and keeps things together for the most part.

2. Maximum wheelbase permitted 158”.


The wheelbase rule is gay.

Not sure who you run with but 2.6" is gonna get carried away with in '09 with those clubs not having limits on the compressor wheel exducer.

Guy and myself planned on attending but we both had things come up. I am fine with the rules that BSTPA came up. I believe you guys will see a few more fantasy trucks in your area next year at these events.

I agree with the above comment on 2.6 trucks, that could go for all the classes for that matter but some of these 2.6 trucks are going to be making some serious power in 09.
