I see the the rear bumpsteer kit is allowed in Mod. Is the front roll center kit allowed too? If so, you may want to reword this rule as:

"Inner suspension pick up points (ie control arm to chassis) to remain in its original location and unmodified."

The suspension geometry can be changed just with caster, same goes with an adjustable sway bar. Just want to be clear.

I cannot wait, and I'm signing up now. Can I get some "no boiling my brakes this year" good vibes? Heehee!



Also, we should find a Chili's *with* booze so we don't have to upset waitresses in dry counties, and keep Tate well fed with the sauce.

I may <gasp> compete this year. I also may <gasp> be moving to Los Angeles before the event. How convenient!

Best,
Adam

All contingency prizes have been added to the first post. There is now upto $8400 cahs and prizes up for grab!

Do to the NT-01 Challenge, entries in the Modifed class runing the NT-01 tire still have the greatest payout opportunity

I intended roll center correction to not be allowed. I meant no afertmarket modifications to geometry. Alignment adjustments are obviously fine. With the ALK(for subies) and bumpsteer correction, I was trying to include extremely common mods.

Hmmmmm, can we make an additional exception?

The roll center is a problem on lowered evos IMHO. How about allowing alternate ball joints/tie rods for correction but restrict moving the inner pivot points.

The Whiteline roll center kit, as well as the rear bump steer kit, is becoming a common mod and EZ to do.

Please consider.

Looks like they are SOL....JK


Since we never made this clearer (despite the fact that I thought it was pretty clear), we can do roll center correction, bumpsteer, and ALK. NO aftermarket control arms that alter the in pickups like Nagisa. No refabrcation of the pickup points. Those three geometry mods ONLY

Thank you for the clarification.

Unleaded is the restriction. No leaded fuels, alcohol, etc. That does not mean 91 pump gas
