Rules for TAI 2008. - GS Nationals - Race - GS Nationals - Buick GS Club of America - Message Board - Yuku

No hybrids unless there is low participation and those in the class dont object.

Hybrids will have 2 classes already.. geesh

But at least there ya go.. simple no frills rules.

One more item to note.. the second portion of the class is only to be run if there are enough cars to run it. Meaning if 9 cars show up.. the Quick8 will fit them in.. the guy that has the 9th car.. sorry.. thats racing.

At this time based on promises from sponsors.. looks like $750-1000 for 1st place TAI and $250 for second.

"IF" there is enough participation to run the other portion.. then we'll do it.

Hows that

Too much complaining on turbo sizes.. so its a 75 since it doesnt exist and doesnt require tech. Easy.

Show up and race.

[Slow91z]

Gotcha...I think...then why didn't you just say 70.

Nevermind, it doesn't really matter now.

[Grumpy]

No Hybrids great... I just put the stage2 in my Mazda and went to the bother of adding a "109" to the block

Colin.. let it go.. cuase then someone says 71.. then someone says 72.. then ... If you want to read through 13 pages.. you'll understand.. everytime someone said 76.. OMG.. the anti-Christ turbo.. so.. make it 75.

Gotta spool it.. run it on 93.. and make it run the number.

Ok.. so who's racing.. is the payout enough?

[Slow91z]

I did read all 13 pages...As it was happening...And I did say nevermind.

[Russ Merritt]

I'm in with my GN.

[Grumpy]

hmmmmm... only thing I can add is that "hybrids" were goin to be allowed as long as you met the weight Poor Otto has been busting his butt and now the car is running and he can't go in it .. what made that change ?? or something like a Mazda ??? both cars have a buick motor and meet the weight

[Razor]

Its a depends on participation deal day of race. There are two other Hybrid classes.. and the classes TSM, TSO, TSE, etc have all been "Regal" hence why they want to keep this one "Regal" the addition was we got the TTA in the door on this one two years ago.

Bring the Mazda.. Otto can bring the Cutlas and we'll see. but not the initial intent of the class.. Hey we can get Otto a beat up Regal and transfer all his stuff over. At least we're not asking the cars must be VIN 7.

Cant make everyone happy, not my call on the hybrids.. glad at least we have a class for all. The fastest car not always wins.. it must run round after round.. after round.. so a 12 second car can take this. Just like TSM with cars breaking..

TTYL
