Tex275 annual members meeting

[d1tko]

They are now using the X275 rules made by John Sears. As far as I understand, the only variance is that BB Nitrous cars have to use a 52 pill. 98/88 is legal if that's what you are asking?

I will call you next week about that bulkhead.

that's awesome, thanks Jason

Good meeting, good info. Thanks guys. Unc, I need to ask about my weight. Mid Frame 98/88, air to air intercooled.

Clifton to be honest, I'm not sure but as long as the inlet measures per the rules, then that is the weight per the rules. Our turbo rules are word for word x275 rules and I think the weights are the same. I dont have them memorized but I will check it and see where your weight should be. Thanks for showing up and thanks for your input/support at the meeting.

Tex275 welcomes the feedback from it's members.

Why did they outlaw the A ford heads and Yates heads?

Why did they outlaw the A ford heads and Yates heads?

I'm going to try and respond without causing a big arguement but as far as banning anything they really didnt per se.

they are checking on the A-head (x275 legal with no penalty) but the rules say no raised runner big block heads which the A-head is. I'm sure that the rules committee will check it out and follow along with the John Sears rules which allow them.

As far as the yates, canted valve, splayed valve, or factory cleveland type heads on forced induction combos, the question was asked if the rules would ever be changed on the forced induction head rule in the middle of the year, which has happened before. The response was that could be a possibility depending on a lot of factors, which to me and the other turbo guys there in essence means; don't change from a "conventional", to use a chevy term, inline head.

I'm sure the committee will do their best to keep parity.

Scared of a little sbf with a baby turbo ehhh....

[bigminz]

I'm sure the turbo guys are going to really pick up this year and the nitrous guys really should with a 52 pill on the big blocks.

It's going to be a good year of racing.

I hope so!

[Booger]

How many turbo cars will there be this year????

[bigminz]

We should make it by mid-season depending on how busy we are.

[jason07]

How many turbo cars will there be this year????

I would definetly like to make it to the Texas Motorplex. It's much closer than Redline.

Of course the rep from the Texas Motorplex wasn't at the meeting so I'm not sure what regulations they require to race at that track. (License, cage cert, etc)

[BoostedGT]

Turbos... Meh.

Turbos... Meh.

Ford A Head

they are checking on the A-head (x275 legal with no penalty) but the rules say no raised runner big block heads which the A-head is. I'm sure that the rules committee will check it out and follow along with the John Sears rules which allow them.




The Ford A head is an original Ford motorsport head (these arent even made anymore). maybe you mean the Trick Flow A head with big valves

[bigminz]

If I need to clarify my statement more, I was talking about the IDT Eliminator A-460, EX514, New TFS A-460 18-bolt, New TFS A-460, EX514 Cast Iron A-460, IDT Eliminator Cast Iron A-460, Older TFS A-460 (Not made anymore), Ford Motorsport A-460 (Not made anymore), and Ford Motorsport A-460 (Ford exhaust port which is not made anymore). All of these would not be legal if you read the rules verbatim but John Sears allows all of them. They are all called A-heads.

This is what I was questioning. They are suppose to be going x275 rules but are not allowing the a head... Should be a fast season though!!!
