I'm assuming street porting and bridge porting would be fine, however with a peripheral port you would just have to maintain a single throttle body per the induction rules.

turbo runs only one. I wonder if its the same rule for the n/a guys..

Hi,

I just wanted to post some rules update. This is some syuff that I wasn't sure on. Looks like the weight for the rx7 is 2700lbs (1 or 2 power adders) and you CAN use front runners. You must use DOTs for drive tires bu front runners are legal.

Good luck -

I know this is not what your looking for but I made it in the top 16 field (sportsman turbo/street) of 22-24 cars. Placed 15th with a 11.2. IF the FC could have been in the power/street class, my time would have been good enough for 2nd out of 10 cars.

Whats the difference between the two sportsman classes?

ari ran one pass at 9.9 showed up late.

Yellow rx8 of Ken S ran 7.## mids

Did not see Jigsaw run.

R100 out of N Y ran in the 6s ??

Need more rotary car in the sportsman classes. Only one 3rd gen and myself!

Ken made it to the finals on Sunday but redlighted. Car creep tru the beams. It's a shame because he out ran the Mustang he was up against. Better luck next time.
