I don't know how the **** i missed it again, but 2.6 will NOT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE VALID DOT REGISTRATION OR LICENSE PLATES!
 
If you have spacers for your dual on the rear of a work stock truck will that be legal?

Yes that will be fine. Have a 2.6 legal charger, driveshaft safety and nothing stupid illegal in your suspension or hitch and you will pass. We want everyone to have a good time and compete at one of the last pulls of the year.
 
Okay. Way too much confusion on the rules. I have deleted previous rule posts for the 2.6 class. Here is a link to the official rules for the 2.6 class.
They are basically 2.6 class rules from PPL with a couple of sections omitted. If anyone has any questions, or concerns feel free to contact me and I will answer them for you.
Again, we are trying to make it so all you guys can come and make a great end of the season pull, and take home some money at the same time.

Sure wish you "omit" the factory appearing rule for workstock.
 
Pierce, what is your suggestion? I dont want to plug turbo's in the WS class so have to come up with something else. How about nothing bigger then a s300 style charger? No large frame chargers everything else is legal? Whats your thoughts...

I understand not wanting to plug, but that leaves it open for for the duramax guys to get in with big wheels. I think you would be better of going with rules like in the Midwest, no frames bigger than s400 no clipped wheels aloud 2.5 bore. Thanks

But that still leaves us teching hardcore turbo rules for a workstock class. No bueno.
What do you mean that leaves the duramax guys get in with big wheels? You haven't seen Fleece's workstock charger put down 700hp? Dodge guys have every advantage to modify a stock charger as a duramax does.

Ok, thanks we will just stay home, not gonna pick up a turbo that's double the money over what we been doin fine with all year.
 
The rules state stock appearing unmoddified turbo for the workstock . Anyone with respect for the sport should follow the rules set forth for each event . I know the Cheetah style chargers really piss people off so I call ahead and talk to a tech official before I go to every pull .

With the Fleece and Danville chargers out there a plug wouldn't necessarily tell you if someone is cheating . Maybe just tech the top 5 trucks in the WS real hard pull covers if ya have to .
 
This hook is about having fun inside of our sport, It's much more than a typical sled pull IMO - I'll be there hooking regardless of the rules!
