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.

Phils XM Member 45 Member For: 21y 9m 11d Location: Moruya, NSW south coast Posted 06/06/05 01:16 AM Share Posted 06/06/05 01:16 AM 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)<{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I agree too, this would have to be the easiest to follow and covers all stages within reason....jeff<{POST_SNAPBACK}>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.

Most serious racers will use nittos/BFG drag radials which are all but as good as slicks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>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 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.

F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 6m 23d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 08/06/05 03:22 PM Share Posted 08/06/05 03:22 PM 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.
