Here are some of the notes from the rules meetings tonight for the SYRA, Street Stocks and the Sport Trucks:
David and the rest of the staff are looking to introduce an entry-level 4 cylinder division for the Fast Friday Series. No rules have been put to paper, but it is said to be similar to the Pure Stocks, as the only modifications allowed will be for safety only. Keep an eye out for more information.
The Seekonk Youth Racing Association:
* The only allowable seals on the engines will be the Seekonk Speedway seals.
* Eligibility of the racers between the 600 and 750 classes will be discussed at a later time.
* Drivers who are eligible to compete in the SYRA (18 years or younger) and have the opportunity to race in our Saturday program will be allowed to compete on both nights.
Street Stocks:
* Jacking bolts are now permitted front and rear in the Camaros and the full frame cars.
* There will be a shock rule at $65.00 retail per shock.
* Bolt on sub frame connectors will be permitted, as there is an issue with the corrosion on the older cars. These cannot be welded to any part of the car.
* The tread width will be a set number for ALL cars. This will open up the wheel rules, but the offset must be the same left to right. There will also be a weight rule with the wheels. The weight and the tread width are still to be determined.
* Feature laps for the Street Stocks will be increased to 25 laps. There will be no increase in purse.
Sport Trucks:
* All rev limiters will continue to be located on the dash. All wiring will be covered in CLEAR plastic tubing. There will be no connectors located in the cab of the truck.
* Tie-rod ends can be replaced with STEEL heim joints. Both inner and outer may be replaced. The rod between the joints may be aluminium. The centerlink MUST remain stock, save for the allowing of drilling out the studs on the centerlink to accomodate for the heim joints.
* Driveshaft tunnels are permitted, but not mandatory.
* Panhard bars will be allowed.
* The bottom of the door window frames may be removed from the body. It is no longer neccessary to have them on the truck.
* As with the Street Stocks, the feature laps will increase to 25 laps. There will be no increase in purse.
Please refer to the rulebook, which is scheduled to be out by the end of the year for specifications and clearifications on these and any other rule changes.
