Re: 8.50 index build
Nice work.
I think I can figure out what an 8.50 index class is but where does one get to race in it? How many times a year?

Also pro dial is becoming a popular class. If you notice all the indexes are right where the brakes for more rules are i.e. 1150 is the cut off for a roll bar. 10 flat is a cut off for a lot of the 9.99 Certs, and 850 is the cut off of many other certifications i.e. roll cage etc. most of these classes do not include electronics either, I run the 1150 index with my street strip car and I know we are not allowed throttle stops or delay boxes. The class started out was supposed to be all streetcar as usual most of these classes have morphed into something a little different

Re: 8.50 index build
Had to create a bump out in the lower firewall to have some room for the fittings on the master cylinders.
Some parts coming in along the way. |

Re: 8.50 index build
This past weekend we had index racing. 6.0 to 7.5 in .5 increments. It was a all run so tree was staggered accordingly. We had around 40 cars and turned out to be fun. 1/8 mile
