SCORE new class 2"lites" and 4 rules."Eco tec"classes

[jjordan]

well thats great that score is in the game, to bad we cant get rules that allow cars to be competitive in all series.
Looks fine maybe bitd can change wb to 105 like it should have been for the buggies.
What about the 2.2. though...earlier threads seem to imply those were being discontinued?? also seems like single seater would have major advantage? should have made rules for 2 seaters only

Score got one thing right, stock ignition. But why just the 2.2.
I'm glad I didn't spend to much time on R&D for this class. WAJ.
I wasn't real happy with the BITD rules but SCORE rules are just dumb!

At Primm last year, I talked to Savage about running a sealed engine to run in class 10 or class 10a. Why run a seperate class? Why not come up w/ a solution to run a sealed engine in 10 ( an existing class)?

Does anyone know the cost for a Eco Tec conversion including the adapter, exhaust, computer, fuel pump, etc?

Turnkey has ecotec for $5500 website price, includes ecu, exhaust, adapter plate, clutch. Just need a radiator and thats it . .

Thanks Zac, what is the horse power difference beteween the 2.2 & 2.4?

[jjordan]

disappointed!!! this could of been a huge class
2 seater
2.2 and 2.4
wheelbase allowance buggy vs truck
only one motor seal tag (turnkey or score)

the rules so differant from bitd and two classes in score..to fragmented

I agree, the rules should have been made to be the same class in both organizations. I don't agree with the rules in BITD about wheelbase limits depending upon suspension, I don't necessarily think that these classes should be tailored to three or four builders as the rules in BITD are. I think this could be a great class to race in if someone wouldn't have screwed it up and gotten more imput before submitting rules. I think SCORE and BITD would take it more seriously if someone cam to them with a similar idea as the old pro-dirt or pro-1600. A organization willing to govern itself, and participate in the existing races.

Could have been big, sorry to the solid axle guys, you got hosed!

Per Score's rules how many class 10 teams will jump ship and change to class 4? Considering the cost and in this economy I would think several teams would consider it. Could this be the end of class 10 as we see it now? A 10 car with an 2.2 170hp Ecotec might be a little slower then a Honda or Toyota, but if the competition is good so what! Is being maybe 50 hp and 10 mph slower going to make racing no fun? I dont think so. And the cost to buy the Ecotec is what you might pay to do a top end service on your Honda motor, so the cost to make the switch might not really be an issue either.

the score rules are lame!!!.... and of course Bill has his hand in the pot!! (would have never guessed!!) and he made it (AGAIN!!) so that the cars/trucks can't cross over from BITD and SCORE...No bypass shocks??... whippie lets take a step back in time instead of moving forward ...and single seat?? wow someone didnt think that through all that well. don't be surprised if in a couple of years from now you'll have to get your engine re-sealed for an additional $200 EVERY YEAR!

One word - LAME! I had high hopes for this class as one that would span all sanctioning bodies. Now it's just totally F'ed up. What a mess that will never be unraveled.
