PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?

[maperformance]

Would the domestic field involve V8's, or be limited to I4's as the current thinking suggests?

We will be allowing all "modern" domestics, this essentially means any domestic that came with factory fuel injection can run...

That sounds like sort of a nightmare to try and class those fairly against imports.

You'd need a second set of rules for each category, I think, one for imports and the 2nd for domestics.

If the rule for a class says only 4 cylinder cars, then it isn't that hard, there doesn't need to be special rules for a 4 cylinder Cavalier vs a Honda. In Nate's rules, only the Outlaw class allowed 8 cylinder cars and their were some rules for max displacement, tire sizes, and turbo size limits.

Agreed. Perhaps a displacement modifier would work such as Forced Induction = your displacement*2. Max adjusted displacement of 7600 cc or the like.

Having attended every PG from the start, I think I can state without fear of contradiction, that a vast majority of the imports that compete in the drag would get their lunch eaten by a properly sorted V8 on tires, if this went down straight up.

Slick size should be 26" that seems to be a common height, not 25".

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Outlaw says 26". 25" limit is probably to keep people from running 26" slicks. 24.5" slicks are commonly used and often the limit for many import race classes.

^Most likely for Hondas. Most DSMers run 26"

Most Hondas that race follow other classes like IFO, WCF, and National events and with a 67mm or smaller turbo they have max tire of 25". I'd bet that 99% of DSM's dont run slicks that have a 67mm or smaller turbo!

IE hoosior QTP, M&H cheaters slicks, ET streets, and other drag radials (DOT tire) are not slicks.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Wait! You are saying there are cars besides DSMs and they run real race classes?

No, I'm saying I don't give a shit what they can fit on economy cars, and DSMs like tall tires for gearing and I don't care to spend money on a smaller slick.
