Although the 58 does help the smaller turbo guys I'm sure that's not why it was suggested, lol.

The problem here is where does a turbo Honda, etc. with a T25/14b/3076R run competitively if we bumped this class to 62mm?

A t25 or 14b car won't run with a 3076, but I like that class more and more.
It helps out all the other turbo cars out there that aren't quite at a 62mm yet.
I understand what you did.

I am liking the classes so far. Breaking up stock appearing works well as that is all the rage lately and I am guessing there will be a lot of people in both of those.

Agree'd, I think it's good to keep it at 58mm. Sucks for someone like me whose always felt competitive the last few years with a 62mm powered car. Feel like I'm a little handicapped now since I'll have to compete with 67mm cars, but I guess that's just part of the challenge Plus I probably won't be too competitive this year anyhow...

Question to turbo sizing. You list 1 turbo, what about twin turbo vehicles?

[v8klla]

Valid point, I think we've got them covered in the stock appearing classes, the others will have to be handled on a case by case basis.

[93gtpeater]

Is there going to be a bike class?

[v8klla]

Yes, how should we structure that?

[93gtpeater]

600cc class, 750cc on up class stock swingarm length and stock height. Then a open class any size bike can run nitrous, turbo and supercharger.

[Murlo26]

^You only need 3 classes for bikes, fast, faster and ballsy.

[Halon]

Which class would scheides mini bike fall in?

I'll be running the N/A class and maybe the 58mm and smaller class if it will run in the low 11's or high 10's.

Revised RS/U to 62mm and removed any limitation in KS/U by request on the Honda forum. Looking like Mark, John, and our Evo will be competing in this class now and Outlaw / Quick 16 will be mostly vacant again.

[turbotalon1g]

That is dumb, you just cancelled the outlaw/quick 16 class.

After asking around the 58mm on the real street was a good deal and same with the 67mm on the King street.

Maybe setup a poll on all the forums you guys are on, to see where you can fill most of the classes the best.

There was only 1 guy on the honda forums that had a 58mm that wanted to run against the 62mm guys and to be honest, he is free to run in any class he wants.
If he is as fast as the King street guys there is nothing holding him or anyone back from moving "up" a class.

Also on the payout subject, it is the only way to get people to come from a long way away to compete. I understand funding is rough being this far out though.

[v8klla]

I agree, the Quick class will be vacant but what can we do we can't please everyone. I don't know that it will affect many here as we have the two stock appearing classes, then a 62mm class, and then an unlimited class in KS/U.
