xmod97 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 All classes of cars running at CBS must have mufflers. If you do not have mufflers you will not be allowed to run. If you lose a muffler you will be DQ , so put the mufflers on to stay. CBS also requires a RACEceiver or scanner. you must run a Westhold transponder, if you do not have one the track rents them. All drivers and Car Owners need to read the CBS General Rules and the Rules for your class. CBS Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm44 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Did the lap times ever get posted on westhold? I would like to see them plus its proof the trandponders are actually being user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer52 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok... I have a question. In the Imca Hobby stocks it clearly says mufflers are not required it says recommended...but not required. In all the other imca classes it says what mufflers to use if there is a muffler rule at the track. I asked Selby (imca tech) and he told me there required.....when I asked where it said that...he said general rules.... I have just re-read every rule on the imca site.... no where does it say that mufflers are required on a hobby stock. It is clear in all the other class rules that you might have to run a muffler. It is clear (to me) that you do NOT have to run a muffler in the hobby stock. Am I missing it...? Anyone have an idea who I should contact at imca to get this clarified? I have applied for a license months ago but have not received it yet....and can not see anything on the site saying who to contact. I know (well im pretty sure) that any travelling hobbys will not have mufflers....and if they know they will be disqualified then we will lose cars.... I did put mufflers on for the last race...and as expected...the car got louder... as it should with a 3" echo tip (or as some call them..."mufflers") installed....so..asking a car on stock manifolds to put a muffler on is odd in the first place...

mod88s Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Never heard of a hobby stock having to run mufflers. IMCA # is 319-472-2201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Walker Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 "The race director shall be empowered to permit reasonable and appropriate deviation from any of the specifications herein or impose any further restrictions that in his opinion do not alter the minimum acceptable requirements. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATION OF SPECIFICATIONS. Any interpretation or deviation of these rules is left to the discretion of the officials. Their decision is final." This is straight from the IMCA Hobby Stock rules. At the very top of the page. The muffler requirements are a track by track rule. They are not mandated in any class by IMCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelracewriter Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Didn't ALL cars in Killeen have to run mufflers....Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm44 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yep...lots of tracks don't make mods run them but cbs does. It is the tracks discretion. Just put 609 on it and call it good. Does waco require them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone with the win Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 What if you have 1.5 exhaust pipes with stock manifolds and the car is under 98 dB rule. is the track still going to DQ the car? Does the track have a dB meter on site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer52 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 wayne...I didn't read it like that...but makes sense.... I don't think the track has a 98 db rule....just a muffler rule as I understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
