Honestly, how are they gonna know what transmission or diff is being used?

 

I think that's the whole point.

If they're going to say factory drivetrain only how are they going to tell if internals are stock. Then there is the sematics of what a factory drivetrain is. Does factory = what came with the car or does factory = OEM?

 

its the same class andy.

it depends upon the race body "sanctioning" body that offers the race. Street class is something that the IDRC came up with. i wont run in it cuz my car is all 60ft. so i need slicks. but if its nopi rules or nhra rules......its all gravy...i can run no exhaust, power adders, and slicks and run the same FWD civic with slicks.

Battle of the imports is the same with RWD.....if i run dot tires i'm street class. if i run slicks i'm pro class.

there are several differnt rulebooks.....KNOW all of them before you build a car for the 1/4 mile. if you just wanna race and not try to compete for a whole season, then just get put in the class that the tech in guys put you in and run em.

 

Stock drivetrain basically, means the trans case needs to main stock. Internally, they will never know what is inside of the trans and the guys with custom gearing and differential setups are not normally going to tell you what exactly is done.

 

if i would have thought for a second i would have realized this.

but i really don't pay attention anymore, i just want a decently quick car right now so i can rack up shitty bracket racing trophies. i'll worry about the hard core racing for when i'm completely banking and can afford to build a full track car, and it probably won't be an import.

 

The rules state "The extremely popular Street Classes, are reserved for factory production vehicles utilizing the OEM chassis and an engine manufactured by the same manufacturer as the vehicle."

Then later under Bogy G

"Body:

One piece front ends are prohibited. Fiberglass or carbon fiber body compnents are limite to the vehicles engine hood only."

Drivetrain Clutch, flywheel,flywheel shield

"Vehicles equipped with Rotary engines must have flywheel scattershield made of 1/4-inch thick steel or titanium plate surrounding the entire bell housing. Multiple clutch discs are permitted.

Driveline
"Front-wheel drive to rear-wheel drive conversions are prhibited. Axle straps are recommended for FWD vehciles utilizing racing slicks."

Eric gotta read further into the rules, Battle rules are REAL LAX though actually.
