The Roar officials did tell him that it is not going to be legal any longer, simply because it was designed for trucks not buggies, true story.

Had the 22 been released at that point? I'm sure that changed a lot of things.
Appearantly they have gotten a lot more liberal since then. There is photographic evidence of Ty running it this year. There were people running 1/8 ebugs cut down to make width for 4wd sc. They decided to allow 4pole 540 & 550 motors (I'm pretty sure that those happened well before last years nats, but it is still new). What are they going to allow next year? 550 4 poles (see the new Tekins)? 4wd fronts on 2wd front? Nuclear power for 1/8 ebug?
