B parity meeting results 3/24/13

[Jeff Brewster 59s]

This evening the B class parity committee held a phone conference for changes that will be effective on May 1st for the introduction of the 20S Sidewinder engine.

- The committee voted in favor of requiring the .750 restrictor plate with the Dellorto 30mm carburetor.

- The committee voted in favor of requiring entries in the BSR class using the 20S engine to be at 1-3/8" below and the BSH class at 1" below. All other rules for the B classes apply.

The changes brought forth will be visited again once the new intake manifold is available for the 20S engine and proper testing data is acheived.

Thank you,
Jeff Brewster

Good stuff........

Good to see the Sidewinder 20ci motor in a great place! Maybe the B Class will now start to grow with a truly new and available COMPETITIVE engine in the class.

Having seen this engine compete at Millville, NJ last fall in BSH, it appears the ole Hot Rod's have a new sheriff in town to compete with. Let's hope the engine is fostered into the engine of choice to encourage participation!!

Carbs

Jeff,

I see the Parity Committee specified the restrictor plate for the DeLorto carb. Does this mean that the Lectron carb is not allowed on the SW 20S in B? Or does it mean that the Lectron is unrestricted?

Patrick only the Dellorto Carb is legal on the 20s in the B classes

Thanks Howie. Good to know this. Any idea why? Is the performance that much better with the Lectron?

I don't remember the exact reason, but I do believe it was a Racing Outboards recommendation. Chairman Jeff may have a better answer than I on this.

[Jeff Brewster 59s]

The main reason was tune-ability. To assist drivers switching to the restrictor plate, all they will need to do is richen the adjustable needle valve on the Dellorto. Obviously, another reason also is the company has now switched completely to the Dellorto for the future of the motors.

Got it.

Thanks Jeff. Guess that helps me determine which carb to go with.

Is this engine still legal in 20ssH?

Ryan, Legal in B, 20 & 25. Are you going to Tabor City in two weeks?

I was going to say, call your commissioner but you still haven't called me from the last time I asked you to call.
