2008 rules changes!
 

It seems the Div 5 Director has gotten a jump on the other DD's, in getting the word out on the rule changes for 2008. Go to D5 home page for the link, or see the post on the .90 forum for the hyperlink. .....Of particular interest to those of us in Stock, besides the combining of carbs & efi, AA/S which have been common knowledge for some time, is the allowing of accumulators {accusumps}, in Stock! ....... Also allowed is, finaly, the replacement of All valve seats. .......The Biggest one tho, is the allowance of ANY valve job,with a bottom cut no deeper than .250" below the seat. Happy reading, Tom ................. Also in general regulations generators must have a stack extending above the top of the trailer.

Re: 2008 rules changes!
 

Did you look at the new generator rule???? It appears to apply to anyone who has a generator...even the portable models such as the 1000 and 2000 watt generators made by Honda and others. What a crock of baloney.

9.99 and quicker are now required to have a full face helmet.

Now I just wanna know about index changes.

8.3 Ignition




All TDC pointers must be pinned to prevent removal.



Don't understand this rule
Maybe someone can explain it to me.

As for my 2000 Honda invertor I'll put it on the roof of the trailer before I put a pipe on it.

Re: 2008 rules changes!
 

I think we will see a lot of generators vibrating off the roofs this season. Will NHRA make us wear crash helmets in the pits.

Wonder if helmet rule is also for 135 mph and quicker?

No problem for us. We'll just move ours to the top of the "etc,". An old English teacher told me that MOST people use "etc." when they've run out of actual words to use. In that case, I'll pick my own next word; GROUND. I'll keep mine above the ground. Anyone else?

It says "directed up and above".

So I guess if you have an open trailer and do not use an EZ Up or something like that you can set the generator on the top of the open trailer and be OK.
