[red-dirt]

can you run a full tube chassis in class 7,or do you have to run some of the stock frame?

I believe that you can not modify the frame in anyway, shape or form. you should got to score's website and order a rule book though.

You can not remove material from a stock frame i.e. c-notching. I believe it can be boxed. And the stock mounting locations may only be moved an inch. But don't quote me on that.

SCORE = Stock frame, can't change it at all but can mount parts where you want...

BITD = Anything goes... only rules = 85" wide, V6, truck body...

It is rumored from valid sources that SCORE has now designated a new mini TT class (on top of the traditional SCORE Class7) so that the BITD 7200 mini TTs well be able to compete in their respective class w/o having to step up to SCORE Trophy Truck.

lked with Sal and Bill Savage about this 2 years ago and Sal said that he would definitely not open up class 7 to the BITD trucks (as I asked), but that he would create a new class once there were enough trucks to make it viable.

So the real question is, how many racers will show up if Sal makes a new class?

Personally, I think they should be combined but allow the guys with frames some advantage to even out the competition, like wider track width than the BITD no frame guys, or bigger motors, etc. This way the guys with existing 7 trucks will have a little work to do to make their trucks competitive, but they won't be obsolete, like they will if Sal makes a new class, and every new truck is built to those rules.
