Mike:
There is a proposed new 5.0 Coyote class that may very well happen next year within the NMRA. (heads up format of course) Based very close to Pure Street class build guidelines, I noticed where a Stock Eliminator car could easily fit the rules by swapping in one of those crate engines. The whole idea centers around Ford's 5.0 Coyote crate engine. Guys could put a stock crate 5.0 into any 1979-2012 Mustang and 79-93 Fox bodies....3100 lbs min. Anyway, here is a link to the proposal. I sure hope Ford gets on board with this. ![]() http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=332505

What caught my interest was the fact that a Stock Eliminator racer that is very savy with chassis set-up knowledge could do well in this proposed class. There is talk of allowing C-4 transmissions w/brakes but without any weight breaks for the autos. I mentioned in that thread about re-wording the rule regarding tire diameter limits. I would like to see a 28 in. tall tire max...instead of the 26" rule. Lots of guys can tune a 28" setup well, plus it will give more choices for gear selection. I have confidence this class will catch on. However, the problem is how do you prevent it from becoming yet another "run-away wallet" class ?
