Rule changes were announced, no. 1 being that Raceceivers will be mandatory in 2012, no. 2. making the use of Quickchange rearend optional for 2012 (rule to be reviewed at the end of 2012)

If q/c's are used, the drive shaft must be located in the center of the chassis, the motor must be inside the chassis and have operational clutch and starter, meet existing motor and weight rules.

The race tech will continue to consist of measuring bore & stroke and weighing, however, if the protest rule is applied the part protested will be inspected, if determined NOT to be legal it will be disqualified. The motor rules were made to discourage the high cost of after mkt. internal parts, alcky conversion was/is allowed to prolong motor life, not to gain an advantage in performance.

 The 2011 rules are now posted on the "RULES" pg. major change is the weight requirements for cars using alcohol/methanol and ethanol, this change was made in the effort to equalize the competition with cars on gas, a power commander may also be used on gas fueled cars, they were already legal on alcohol cars. The plan to go to an all gas class is not feasible at this time, we need to increase the cars counts in order to continue scheduling the 1/4 mile tracks which appear to be less demanding on motors and equipment, I realize that any rule and rule change will be not please everyone, I hope you will consider that we are attempting to advance min sprint racing in general as well as the MMSA.
