Rule clarification:

Have had a lot of questions with automatic transmissions in the past few weeks and days. I am making a formal announcement to make sure all drivers/builders who are wanting to run our shows, are all on the same page.

I will remind everyone one more time: 1. call first, 2. if it doesn't say to do it in rules than don't do it and 3. officials decision is final:

* We will not be allowing the extreme aftermarket transmission cases for any of our shows this year. A stock car case will be totally legit with a aftermarket aluminum bell as long as the case is not from a Copo Camaro for example, this particular make/model was built for extreme conditions on the drag strip.

This should be up for discussion next season prior to rules being posted and decided by drivers if this will be allowed or not. The sport has evolved to more horsepower and extreme comp and conditions. So I will make sure it's on next years agenda for rule discussion.

Call or text if you have questions and sure looking forward to seeing everyone run next weekend at King of the Ring.

Thank you,
Vern

Geneva Team Show Rules Clarification(since I have had people bring some things to my attention) :

1. Fresh cars only will be allowed for team show and limited weld one run and done class. No exceptions period. Call with questions if you are a driver.
2. Front clip swap should be asked about like in past and if you have questions call only if you are a driver I can explain what's fair and what's not.
3. 8 gallon fuel cell max, will be enforced as stated in rules. If you are a driver call if you have questions.
4. Rust repairs please refer to page 12 Rule 18F. All rust repairs need to be approved by me prior to making repairs. If you are a driver of the show call first.
5. Transmissions should be stock and only have ultra bell bolted to front pump housing bolts and not the case itself. If you are a driver call first with the questions.
6. Leaf spring max thickness is 5/16".

Looking forward to the show and it's less than 56 days away now.

Thank you !

I feel bad for guys that built for the team show and the show in general to have the purse drop that drastically with a weeks notice is a big kick in the shorts. I understand things happen and unexpected circumstances take place, but no one should be guaranteeing a payout until the money is in the bank and verified. Happening way to often. Hope your show succeeds but that's a tough way to continue.
