Musclewrench NEW car class questions

[TouringBubble]

Appreciate it. Everything else looks good to me. See you Saturday! Be sure to say "hi." I'll be in the trailer.

OMG, don't shoot me

Ok, so this weekend was awesome. But, I can't seem to keep from messing around with my car. I found this light crankshaft pulley.

14.10H on pg. 89 reads like it may be legal.

H. Any accessory pulleys and belts of the same type (e.g., V-belt, ser- pentine) as standard may be used. This allowance applies to ac- cessory pulleys only (e.g., alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and crankshaft drive pulleys). It does not allow replacement, modification, or substitution of pulleys, cogs, gears, or belts which are part of cam, layshaft, or ignition drive or timing systems, etc. Any crankshaft damper or pulley may be used. SFI-rated dampers are recommended. Supercharged cars may not change the effective diameter of any pulley which drives the supercharger.

What's the verdict? I promise this is the last question... for now

Looks and sounds legal to me.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one saw it fall or heard it fall.....did it fall?

J/K , had to do it!! LOL

Basically, spray paint black, slather on some grease, and call it a day.

[TouringBubble]

According to 14.10.H is is perfectly legal.

And no need to spray paint it black. I think that piece looks hawt. I can't believe how many aftermarket parts their are for a Cube. CRAZY

[TouringBubble]

According to him, they are mostly for the Versa, not the Cube. I love it when manufacturers share chassis and engines between models without weird changes to mess us tuners up.

Okay, here is the word on the SSF from Brian Harmer at National

"Every single car that competes in Solo must meet the SSF. Obviously a Formula Ford or a fully built EM car will meet it. When a car is modified it is hard to find out it’s true SSF. That is why there is a chart in the rulebook (page 35) that is for use in the field if there is question about the cars allowance or not. Basically though chart for in the field is an overall height and average track width correlation. If the height is more than the average track it isn’t allowed."

So we need to know the average track width with the wheels and tires you will be running vs the height of the car as it sits now (not the OEM dimensions).

He means measure between the center of the front tires, the center of the rear tires, add together and divide by two.

Example: Front track is 1.643 meters, rear track is 1.636 meters.

1.643 + 1.636 / 2 = 1.6395

I'm out

Hey everyone,

Thank you for the input on determining the SSF. Looks like all that ubiquitous headroom comes at a cost. By my measurements, the track is ~58.5" and the height is 62". I had a blast at the Test n' Tune and will probably come out on some Saturdays to see you guys eat cones!

that really sucks. It was a blast to see your toaster running through the cones.
