Interesting. Many stock street cars can't even meet those rules, much less street cars that have been modded.

4. No wheelie bars.
Really? So, I guess it's better for them to just dig their bumpers into the track or go so high they lose control?

6&7, I assume "One Power Adder Only" means no super charger and turbo? Well, there goes a very large number of cars you can buy nowadays. "No twin turbos", again a limit on lots of cars you can buy right off the lot, especially the smaller cylinder cars.

8. 3100 lbs. minimum. Well, no more bringing my everyday street car in. It doesn't weigh that much, and it's the heavier version.

I just think it's kind of stupid to put in rules for "street" cars that keeps actual street cars from racing. Other than 6, 7, and 8 the rules make sense. The other rules all are in keeping with the concept of "street", as they limit the amount of body modifications and things in order to keep it more stock. But 6-8 do just the opposite in today's world in my opinion.

I think that rule #11 might take care of production cars off the car lot.
Whith no mods done to them.
