    • 2G DSMs may run TD05H variations (14B, 16G, etc)
  • Must have stock appearing intake and exhaust manifolds (Swaps between generations allowed)
  • Front mount intercoolers and upgraded BOV allowed
  • Unlimited fuel modifications (alternative fuel allowed, no nitrous)
  • DOT approved Tires Only, tread rating over 100 required
  • Must have full interior & exhaust that exits behind rear tires
  • Any ECU mods allowed (standalones allowed)


SA/U

  • Stock frame turbocharger
    • External wastegates are acceptable in any configuration
    • Intake and Exhaust manifold upgrades are acceptable in any configuration
    • 2G DSMs may run TD05H variations (14B, 16G, etc)
  • Must have full exhaust that exists behind rear tires
  • Unlimited fuel modifications (alternative fueling allowed, injection of methanol and nitrous allowed)
  • Any ECU mods allowed (standalones allowed)
  • Tire Restrictions
    • AWD/RWD -- DOT approved drag radials
    • FWD -- Slicks up to 24.5"


I was placed in SA/U due to my EWG. Honestly I would have much preferred to be in straight up SA as that's where all my friends (as well as closer competition) was.

That being said, if GT-R's show up again, it's basically an auto win in SA for them. I can't think of any other import that can trap 135+ with bolt-ons and still look completely stock. It will be interesting to see how MAP writes the rules this year.

You guys figure anything out? I think since most of us rock FP manifolds lets just rock SA/U, the GTRs can have sa. At least it will be a good show.

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
MAP - any word on SA class and GTRs?

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
What Aaron said! Spring almost here and need to know where I need to go with my car.

CornFed2.4 03-12-2013 02:32 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Anyone from map wanna answer if the rules for SA are gonna change from last yr? Like lexan hatch glass? Or had to be a stock maf?

Nate had made those suggestions. So want to know what the final say is? Thanks!

turbotalon1g 03-12-2013 04:13 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
lol, lexan hatch hahaha.
You must want to win bad?

URV8SUX 03-14-2013 11:09 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
They must be too busy fighting on Facebook with FP and Magnus.

Shit maybe by May they will post the rules!

CornFed2.4 03-14-2013 11:15 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Nope, I don't want to win. I just don't want to waste money on weight reduction like a carbon hatch and not be able to run lexan window as the rear glass is a majority of the weight.

Joel posted on Facebook to see if they would answer.

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
FYI LOVE IS ON THE WAY! I just got off the phone with Nate thanking him once again for his efforts, and letting him know they will no be wasted. We plan to move forward with almost exactly what he has laid out. I have listed out a few key changes below just as an advanced heads up, right now we are updating our site and working with BIR to finalize the pre registration and should have new threads posted by the end of the week.


*R35 GTR's will be allowed in SA/U only
*We added Index racing classes for all import and domestics ranging from 11.5-13.0 in .5 intervals
*We have a 13.0+ bracket class
*We are working on a "quick 16" like class

Murlo26 03-27-2013 04:27 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Nice on the GTR's moving to SA/U. That seems very fair. Even then they will mop up still I am sure lol. But gives 4 cylinders a chance.

Shane@DBPerformance 03-27-2013 05:22 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Awesome! I know some of the Honda guys had some valid issues with some of classes on MNHondas, but I think it was mostly minor things like allowing a fuel cell up front on the NA cars.

turbotalon1g 03-27-2013 05:23 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Awesome, I know there are a lot of people waiting to hear this so they can continue with mods to their cars.

CornFed2.4 03-27-2013 06:30 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Waiting for full rules.

JET 03-27-2013 08:50 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
If the GTR's are moved then the 911TT's should be too.

Shane@DBPerformance 03-28-2013 09:39 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
In Nate's rules it says the normal stock appearing is only for 4 cylinder cars, guess it depends if they use those rules or just a very abridged version.

MAP - Are you guys seriously going to worry about 8oz of carpet from the front seat forward in RS/U?

That reminds me of one last thing I wanted to make you guys aware of. As you all know we have to set class rules and they won't always make complete sense and sometimes exceptions need to be made. This year will be by having your fellow peers enforce class rules. This is how things have ran for years at the BR shootout and we feel like this can benefit all of us. It should cut down the time spent getting through tech, and it will allow you to speak out against anyone who is in your class if you so choose.

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
I'm curious how many outlaw cars will show up.

turbotalon1g 05-10-2013 07:49 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Any words from boostin performance, Kiggly, showing up or any other shops?

CornFed2.4 05-29-2013 12:47 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Are the rules finalized yet?

dsmreck 05-31-2013 02:06 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
is outlaw the biggest class? I'm just not seeing a bigger turbo inlet than 76.9, which is 3inch if my math is correct...

You bringing an 80mm? that would be sick, assuming it would run of course.

LOL the wheel size, not inlet size.

i get 82.5mm

bramagedained 06-03-2013 10:11 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Someone should buy my car and get the trans fixed before PG. Just sayin'. I still think RS/U should allow 6466s since they're fairly popular now on street cars...

JohnnyT 06-05-2013 03:55 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
What do you guys do about insurance? I'm contemplating running but I know Progressive won't have anything to do with me if there's an incident. I wouldn't feel comfortable running unless I knew I was insured...

Goat Blower 06-05-2013 04:35 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
I've always known that if I wreck it on the track, it's on me. I've known a few people that have limped their cars out to the highway before calling insurance though. :D

asshanson 06-05-2013 04:35 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
For the road course I assume? Probably don't need it for autox or drag strip.
You can buy specific HPDE insurance, but I haven't.

JohnnyT 06-05-2013 04:46 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Yeah, for the road course.

That seems crazy to me, especially after seeing that EVO get totaled last year.

dsmreck 06-09-2013 11:13 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
are there any rules about battery relocates in the trunk as far as battery boxes or cut switches?

Pushit2.0 06-10-2013 12:07 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
I know for drag racing if the battery is in the trunk(normally not a factory location) and fallowing NHRA rules a battery box and cut off switch would need to be installed.

IDK what they do with the new Camaro and Dodge (to avoid... lol) Challenger and Charger which they come from the factory in the trunk.

goodhart 06-10-2013 12:08 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
All NHRA rules should apply. So if you have a battery in your trunk I would expect to need a vented box with external cutoff.

Pushit2.0 06-10-2013 12:13 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
I would have to look into the rules more, but what about a sealed trunk/fire wall from the trunk to cabin area.

My car with any luck could be up there doing stuff the 21st.

All major block work is done, I am not going to change anything fab wise so its a bolt together and go deal.

I am waiting or Orings to be machined into the block, and a few minor parts to show up this week, then its go time. I figure if I have my small pile of parts and my block with orings by Thursday this week, I will be up there making full passes on E98 at 42-45psi.

I hope to run a 10.0 for sure.

I raced at the PG for 2 years with the battery in the truck and no cut-off switch. Your mileage may vary since your car looks (and is) fast.

Ayo Chris, can I come run my bike at this thing? :)

v8klla 06-10-2013 10:02 AM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Yes there are bike classes once again this year.

bramagedained 06-10-2013 12:53 PM

Re: PG 2013 - Can we get some love here?
 
Timing... My car is pending sale now. If it doesn't work out I'm selling the Volks to fix the trans. Since I justified that to myself as not actually spending more money on the car.

Then I'll bring it to PG.
