KOH Rulebook

What do you guys think? Anybody looked at it? There is a ton of stuff in it, but some of the tech changes I noted were:

One Piece Firesuits Only
2 Taillights & 1 Amber
Safety Fuel Cell (Must have a inner liner and baffling)

Then section 19.2 blows my mind as I wonder if they will enforce it:

It says that tubing size for the vehicles will be based on Dry Vehicle Weight Rating (DVWR)

Under 2k - 1.5 x .095
Under 3200 - 1.5 x .120
3200 - 4200 - 1.75 x .120
Over 4200 - 2.0 x.120

That would mean that my 3500lb rig could not compete with 1.5x.120 wall dom.

If this is true and they enforce it then that would rule a bunch of people out

I see why, I see KOH not being in anyone reach unless you are sponsored heavily. 2010 may be the last year for the "traditional wheeler"....Hell 2009 might have been

I agree, as soon as I looked at the Rules last night I thought to myself its gone mainstream and the little man is left out. There is no way I would do all that stuff to my buggy to run just once and it only pays for 1st place.

After looking at it I feel that same as Bones and Cole. If they try to enforce the cage rule then I am out. I am not having my chassis rebuilt for this. Noboby builds with 1.75 these days. I can handle the crazy fuel cell rule, but the cage rule is nuts. I really wanted to make another run in 2011, but with these rules and more coming who knows if that is even feasible.

Edit the Roll Cage Rule was a typo and was just suggested, not required

 

[Welderd]

rules are being revised - that cage rule was a typo

 

[techtafab]

i just did a drift car cage,and the rules are
vehicle
weight mild steel alloy steel

up to 1500 LBs 1.375X.095 1.375X.080
1501 to 2499 LBS 1.50X.095 1.50X.095
2500 LBs and up 1.75X.095 1.75X.095
