[b1stevens]

if your fuel tank isn't mounted to the floor and is mounted on something make sure whatever its mounted to is the same size or around 2inches wider than tank and no closer than 2inches to back sheet metal. There will be some new rules for next year. they will be close to these rules with a few changes. These rules will be telling you what you can do to your car. if it doesnt say it on the rules then you can't do it. easier to say what you can do rather than what you cannot do.

[b1stevens]

we are going to have some nice trophys this year. 8 more days.

[b1stevens]

3 days and looks like it wont be so HOT
