Kyle Ministock Questions

[CougarGT]

I recently bought a CCS front-runner and intend to race it at Kyle.

 

I'm currently in process of swapping out a blown engine, then I'll be moving onto the safety stuff.

 

The car already has a nice professionally welded cage, and the PO installed a plate under the gas-tank.

 

The rules on the Kyle webpage are a little vague.

From the general rules page:

"All cars including Grand Stocks must run a racing wheel on right front with a minimum 1/2” diameter wheel studs."

- Does this include ministocks?

- What constitutes a "racing wheel"?

- I recall seeing most cars with standard steel rims. My car currently has 4 factory steel rims.

". Items not allowed regardless of class. Traction control, on board timing, data acquisition, or abs brake systems."

- My car has ABS. Remove it or pull the fuse? I'd prefer to install the non-abs prop valve and remove the pump. A very easy swap on my car.

". All competitors are required to have a scanner, it is optional to be listened to by either the driver or spotter unless you do not have 2-way radios it must be worn by the driver"

- What type of scanner would you recommend?

"Transponders 1. Will be on any car on the track at anytime"

- I assume this statement means "Transponders are required for all cars"?

- If they are required, what type?

Any recommendations for the aluminum racing seat?

Thanks,

Dan

We use raceceiver

http://www.raceceiver.com/

 

for transponders you have a few options think the track might rent them. Or you can get a flex transponder that you have to buy a yearly subscription or you can buy one that will last for ever

Your factory steel wheels are fine

Leaver your abs alone it is ok as it came from the factory

Any scanner is fine but i like a tracscan

Transponders are through. Mylaps.com

Thanks for the tips. I saw the schedule came out and the rules are due out soon. I got the replacement engine back in the car this weekend. After that I'll be looking to start on the necessary safety changes.
