2010 Rule Changes

2010 will be a season of change at Stafford. Both in the literal sense and the figurative. The literal sense is implied in the rule changes for all divisions, which were released yesterday. Here's what's changing:

SK Modified
+ Spec engine allowed to run Sunoco Supreme gas
+ Clarification to intake manifold (spec and non-spec)
+ Rearview mirror rule adjustment
+ Roll bar rule updated (anti-intrustion plates and foot protection bar)

Late Model (XYG Rulebook)
+ B and C-engines allowed to run 2nd generation Edelbrock 2101 intake manifold
+ B and C-engines choose between Canton #85-060 or #85-065 carb spacer
+ All engines permitted to run Lobak or Kooks muffler and cowl air induction
+ B-motor converts spec oil pan and option of inspection plug

Limited Late Model
+ Age limit reduced: 15 YEARS OLD
+ Body measurements done with NGB or S2 templates
+ Non-spec engines allowed to run 2nd generation Edelbrock 2101 intake manifold
+ Both engines choose between Canton #85-060 or #85-065 carb spacer
+ Spec engines must have same overall weight and left side weight as non-spec engines
+ Spec engines permitted to run Kooks muffler
+ New gear rule for spec and non-spec engines

SK Light
+ Age limit reduced: 15 YEARS OLD
+ Engine exhaust rule updated (Kooks mufflers and SFI harmonic balancer)

DARE Stock
+ Age limit reduced: 14 YEARS OLD
+ GM ploy front fender permitted
+ Triple reinforced fiberglass roof permitted
+ New rule for battery location

All rulebooks are linked to their respective divisions.

In three of the divisions (those that don't require pit crews out on pit road), the minimum age has been dropped. As already stated, it's 14 for the DARE Stocks and 15 for the SK Lights and Limited Late Models. Should be interesting to see what happens.
