Markus Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Good morning - Just a quick rule check.... Most recent comment I could find on lightweight drive shafts in PT/TT was from 2007. Quote from Greg: "Ok, here's what we are going to do--stick with the current rules. If you have a lightened driveshaft, you will need to use the alternate method for assessing weight reduction points (since it is lightening that is not otherwise assessed points, and is not on the list of No-Points Modifications). We will not be assessing the potential improved performance aspect due to decreased rotational mass." Thread: http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13136&hilit=driveshaft So is this still the case? And if so is it covered under: NO-POINTS MODIFICATIONS 23) Lightweight flywheel and/or clutch assembly Could we possibly get the above modified to read "" just to alleviate future confusion? Thanks!! - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Staff Greg G. Posted September 4, 2010 National Staff Share Posted September 4, 2010 Ok, fine. Still +0 points. We can add it to the No-Points list during the next Rules revision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Well now its illegal. Doesnt SAY you can in the rulebook, so its illegal. There, fixed it for ya. I'm eagerly awaiting the addition of this as a no-points mod per Greg to the 2011 ruleset then! Actually I'm not even sure this is something I'll do or not, it's something I'm considering for next year but no firm plans yet. Since I didn't see it in the rules I thought I'd be helpful and try to clarify for everyone. It seems like alot of the Subie time attack cars run something like this, so I'm kind of surprised it hadn't come up over here sooner. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
