2009 Official TSM Rule Changes

[Scott231]

Of the 17 votes cast, the Final results are:

01. Manual Steering - PASSED with 10 affirmative votes (meaning the power steering pump and steering 'gear' box can be removed and replaced with a manual steering box - such as the unit found on certain S-10 trucks)
02. Rack & Pinion - did not pass with only 5 affirmative votes
03. Engine Size Protest - did not pass with only 8 affirmative votes
04. Licensing requirement - did not pass with only 2 affirmative votes
05. Second Battery - did not pass with only 7 affirmative votes
06. 325/50-15 Drag Radials - did not pass with only 8 affirmative votes
07. Electric Water Pumps - did not pass with only 5 affirmative votes
08. Fiberglass Deck lids - did not pass with only 7 affirmative votes
09. Aftermarket cast intakes - PASSED with 9 affirmative votes (including the Champion and BGC cast aluminum pieces)
10. Limit rule changes to every other year - PASSED with 13 affirmative votes (next proposal/voting process to be held for the 2011 season)
11. Team Registration (for the Point Series) - did not pass with only 5 affirmative votes

The GSCA race director has acquiesced with the above. Therefore, the TSM racers need not make changes to their TSM cars just for the GS Nationals due to the above changes compared with the other races for the season.

Actual wording changes to the TSM rules are in process.

Dang it man why yall don't like me .

just my two cents, but to me street legal cars should be able to race on street legal tires I don't think those tires would be an advantage to anyone besides looking kick a**,
Oh well, the TSM racing is still gonna rock this year

Was the 2 battery rule so you could dump the alt?

No, you would have still had to run an alternator. Rules say you have to run one.

 

[Otto J]

Just wondering why there would be a 2 battery rule

Street legal tires have Always been legal in TSM...they just have to be smaller than what was proposed as a rule change.

Just like a few of the other proposals, people want the ability to move weight around the car to gain an advantage.
