1.5 tailpipe rule and vacuum rule?? opinions?
been reading about some of the new topics for possible rule changes, waiting to see what they will be like everyone else,mainly because i wasnt able to complete my car in time to race last year and now am at the point of installing exhaust on my car .
i've read where increasing the vacuum rule to 18.5 or so was said and that seems fair , especially a steady reading, not fluctuating.
the 1.5" tailpipe rule i must say is quite ridiculuos.first off no stock car every came with such a thing especially since these discussions were more focusing on the big cars. references are often made to howie and tim of how their cars are legal and thats great and thats how it should be . having more than the vacuum required . the tailpipe rule is spoken of to slow down or restrict the guys with big motors as i have read. so i'm reading how 2 of our good examples are legal and others are not , so how is the tailpipe rule practical.
lets agree that these are still race cars or atleast cars we race and we all need to comply by the rules . but seriously how is an 1.5 tailpipe even race worthy. guys build v-8s for a reason , not to choke them down.
there are always guys who bend and break rules but there are guys who can comply and run fast as well like tim and howie so why would you want to institute a rule that is both ridiculous and again not stock either?
opinions? come on guys help us out here, heck it looks big diamond even dropped that from their roadrunners rule now and the wall factory stocks are 2.25 ehaust , which was stock. thanks

The new "tailpipe rule" probably was instituted because of the experienced enduro peeps who know how to get around the vacuum rule.................:(
These cars consistently pull 17 to 20 inches/Hg vacuum and idle smoothly because the engine was built to do so......................;)
These engines are not very expensive to build and they make good power........................:rolleyes:
Any rule change costs the racer money, so naturally I don't like it......................:disgusted
Wall Stadium F/S rules are a prime example of how rules aimed at equalizing the field have failed!..........................:help:
They mandate things that cost more than using the stock parts/set-up...........................:*-(
But they do prove one of "Uncle Petey's Enduro Commandments": No matter what rules are instituted to equalize the field, the same group of drivers will STILL finish up front..............................:D

Whine Time...................
If you look at My-Lap times, many of the fastest cars are winning the races.........................:rolleyes:
Do a little research and you'll see how you can get major engine power gains and still maintain high vacuum at idle................:angel:
I agree, the rule stinks, but somebody, somewhere had to start whining about enduro cars turning into S/S's and hence your new rule....................:disgusted
Don't know, maybe its easier for NEETS to tech the cars..............................:confused:
Like Clint Eastwood said: "Your gonna have to adapt and improvise"............................;)

I agree Scott, hope this series at Wall doesn't go down the tubes because of a "failure to communicate".................:rolleyes:
