Post by: Burwell555 on January 04, 2013, 12:43:50 pm: I would say follow the cube rule like they said to do last year, as well as they are gearing the new rules more towards every time they are revised.

Post by: evansop on January 04, 2013, 12:53:25 pm: We have tried for several years to get away from HP Rating and go on a CI or CC ratings only, as HP ratings posted on the tins are just a decal. And a lot of research has gone into this. But again the confusion of ratings coming from the Manufactures seem to keep changing.. We will try again this season.

Post by: Burton for Certain on January 04, 2013, 01:53:39 pm: Idk about other brands, but with kohler twins, all the blocks can be the same cube engine. So use whatever block ya want. For example, I have a 18 hp block that is now over 50 cubes. The blocks 35hp up are different.

Post by: 2nstoys on January 13, 2013, 07:09:18 pm: So the way I read it FXT and FXS is you must still use oem block and heads to start with, but unlimited modifications? So no billet heads or blocks?

Another question. I do not see in the licensing area about under age racers being able to move up. As in: 16-17 year olds in the FXS class. Is that still available or not this year?

Post by: Rich Webb on January 14, 2013, 11:10:19 am: NO billet heads or blocks, must be OEM block and heads can do what every you want from there. Licensing program has not changed from last year.
