A lot like factory stock..

[Ranger50]

Looks like Pure Street Lite.

I don't see how someone could not run 9's with those loose ass rules.

Interesting class.

Kind of a mix between F/S and P/S.

Any plans to for this class to be run at other events besides GA?

[RACEME]

sounds like a mix between pure street and renegade. With the suspension mods and any engine management system...I see 9.0 to 9.50 class.

[todd86]

I think these cars will outrun P/S before the end of the season. Should help the NMRA get some more cars out. A carbed, C-4 car would be the shiznit.

[John Leslie Jr.]

This class in the same form will be ran at the Texas exhibition race, but will be redesigned alittle to include other cars since that race is a combined nmra/nmca exhibition race.

[95redstang]

Might want to change the name to something other than factory street...:lol:

[Timido]

I think pure street can run a c4 this year can't they?

[Ranger50]

I think pure street can run a c4 this year can't they?

I'll be damned, it is!

From the final rules PDF:

transmission.
2.14a) Transbrake: Permitted.

[Timido]

I see alot of loop holes but not enough to run 9's. There are no internal engine or clutch rules either. I could see 10.50s I have seen what it takes to run 9's with a 302 based NA motor its alot more than you think

[John Leslie Jr.]

I agree, I think if the right tuned car came out we might see some mid to high 10's, but the average street guy is what we are looking to intice to come out and race. Not saying we dont want the fine tuned guys lol. But we looked at it, and figured the class would see high 10's to 12's.

I think it will start like that, but if it's an event that's at every race it will turn into the same kind of arms race as every other NMRA class...

[John Leslie Jr.]

But thats the thing it will only be at Georgia and Texas. This is an exhibition class, for the exhibition races.

[todd86]

I see. The competition won't be as fierce in a class with only 2 events.

[John Leslie Jr.]

Well I hope it is, this was just made to get more ppl out there racing heads up, a stepping stone as you might say to one of the points classes.

[Kelly Pelrine]

It also gives the FS racers a place to race since FS will not be contested at GA or TX :)
