My problem is like anything else with the NMRA or the NMCA thats involves a clutch, and manula transmission. Unless you run Hot Street, or Pro Stock you are restricted to the stock diaphragm style clutch, and no straight cut gears in the transmissions.

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 ?
