HAHAHA Have I died and gone to the candy van in the sky?

Someone actually complaining a full size stock cargo van has an unfair advantage at the track and needs to add weight :baby:

Only exception is if NO weigh reduction has been done. IE: Bumper, tail gates, seats, spare tire, etc... is all in place?

That makes sense to me actually. But id rather not have a limit. I also dont own a spare or the holder for it. so do i have to go buy one before i try to get on the list?

This is beginning to look like the special Olympics, everyone gets a medal. :D Didn't mention lift pumps, are they allowed? How about fuel tank sumps? The weight thing is nuts, if the damn thing is steet legal and can be licensed and insured for the street it should be allowed. I suppose you could carry the "everyone wins" theme a bit further and have 3/4 ton RC, ECSB, ECLB, CCSB, CCLB, then the same for one ton and a dually division.:roflmao:

I think vans should be allowed on any list that is created, or has been previously created.

Weight limits are pointless when you're trying to go faster. 6500 for 4x4 is too high anyway. My truck only weighs 6720 fully dressed with me in it, for example. I think this list needs to be stock motor, turbo and injectors only in a factory body. Everything else is fair game.

Ya that way we all win and we all feel special.
No weight restrictions. My vote.


I know you're cheating, because I'm cheating and you're beating me...

Copy of SS rules, with edited trans requirement

Add to this stock engine with lift pump, stock turbo etc etc and you have a number that you can get to with just a little bit of weight cutting, or even make it on the list without cutting weight. Let the vans run if they meet weight.
