No problem, I like rice as a side dish, ( I think it is good for you) yes I that 12.42 is a bit slack, I will have to do something about that real soon. would the unopened be untouched inside, (no valve spring changes,) although I would rather that they could not be changed, it would reflect badly on the t, because other unopened classes let them upgrade . I also think even if we started with too many classes, the importent ones will rise to the top, and the other ones will slowly fade anyway, I think 1 street, the other xr6t's with the only restriction that it has to be a xr6t motor, eg; cortina or the like. and then have the other smaller classes under these two main classes.

6 classes seems a little over the top....

1) Stock - no edit/piggybacks. This would allow for limited mods, such as CAI/filter/exhaust (No NOS/race fuel)

2) Modified - Stock Internals this would allow any and all mods that do not open the engine (NO NOS/race fuel)

3) Pro Modified - do what you want but must use the factory turbo.. (NOS/race fuel PERMITED)

4) Unlimited - open to any BA 6 running non factory turbo (NOS/race fuel PERMITED)

I agree too, this would have to be the easiest to follow and covers all stages within reason....

It doesn't address the tyre issue ... also, is it only open to XR6Ts? Fair enough if it is I suppose .. this IS the XR6T forum after all.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

sounds like a good spread of classes.

Tyres probably won't be a major factor. Most serious racers will use nittos/BFG drag radials which are all but as good as slicks.

Well if that's the case why have any class other than open slather? I think you've missed the whole point. The discussion was about catering for everyone - not just the so-called "serious racers".

To me, and it seems a lot of others as well, it's more important how your car performs in street trim - isn't this how you drive it every day? If you want to build a purely strip car and drag it to the track behind a Landcruiser ...

I think the difference between using standard street radials and something like Nittos is going to be 1 to 2 secs for some cars ... but if you think that isn't a major factor ???

I take it that by standed, you mean Dunlops,(Dunlop would like that) but most of us don't run them any more, I don't, mine only got 5000 k's, (no traction) I have got more k's out of my nitto's, verry hard to pick and choose between diferent radial tyres. I understand what you are saying, but without nominating the tyre the car came with, it is very hard to regulate, a lot have gone to 18's and 19's, all of diferent Quality's. I do drive with my nitto's on the steet, because when you get a high power level I think they are a good value street tyre for the traction level, nitto's changed my 60 ft times from 2.0 sec to 1.8 sec, that's .2 of a sec not two sec. I think the Micky Thompson et street tyre and the like, give a lot better grip but you would be lucky to get 1000 k's out of them, maybe have a class (standed dunlops only) what a coincidence Craig's got that one to.

surely it aint that hard to agree on!!!!

Is Street trim meaning full interior?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

"(Street trim would mean street tyres, pump fuel and exhaust)."

Stop reading between the lines, and read the lines

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Rules are open for interpretation..

The way I drive my car on the street every day is street trim. I don't drop the spare, all the seats, carpet, boot linings and tool kit to go down the shops on tyres with 20psi in them...

Not having a go at you personally.. but you get where I am comin from.

Just like Street registered may mean as soon as it goes on the street it gets stickered coz it has mini tubs and no exhaust.
