A Positive Change for 2012
With all the tracks that support or will be supporting the Steel Block Bandits having a 358 motor rule or the like thereof, the series has elected to follow suit. “In 2012, the Bandits motor rule will be changing in hopes it will help our series grow”, series promoter Danny Wilson. “With this change, there is no reason why tracks will not open their doors for the Bandits”. Wilson went on to say, “If you look at the tracks within a 4 to 5 hour drive of Hagerstown that run smaller motors, only good things can come out of this new motor rule for 2012”. With only a hand full of drivers within the series that currently run larger motors and with several tracks running 358s this has weighed heavy on Wilson for the last two years. “I knew this was most likely going to happen, I just did not know when. Now is the time and by making this announcement this early, race teams have several months to prepare for 2012”, said Wilson.
2012 Motor Rule:
• 365 Cubic Inch or Smaller (Steel Block)
1. Motors with Steel Heads – 2350lb – Open CFM Carburetor
2. Motors with Aluminum Heads – 2450lb – Open CFM Carburetor
3. GM 602/604 Crate rule will not change for 2012
All 2011 motor rules will remain the same for 2011
