hell, I ran my STOCK Tohatsu with your guys Dmods and FE's at the AOF Nats and had a great time..............didn't quite show high 80's........more like LOW 80's (was still beat by Dale Bartley's 40mod)!!!!!!!Last edited by mercguy; 02-05-2010, 04:57 PM.Daren

Just a Guess
I am guessing as I was not at the meeting, that they elected to not mess with the largest class they have. Kinda like tossing out the 102 and 302 from CSH and putting a sidewinder in its place. If you mess with CSH someone is gonna have your head.
I have yet to see a Tohotsu race in DMH in APBA except at Nat's. Since the majority of racers reside in the midwest they might not have had much to go on in terms of seeing it. Or it could be a lot of stock folks are on the comission now and they are adapting the stock rules over to Mod, I dunno.
Personally I would like to see it in it's own class, like DMH as it was years ago. 40CI Mercs and the Tohotsu. I know a few 40CI mercs would come out and play with that one. And it would give the new engines a place where they can be competitive.
But meetings are done.Dave Mason

The word I heard was that someone was supposed to provide some data to the commish for the last 2 or 3 years. as no data was forth comming they voted to pull the motor for lack of data.Gene Schertz 26V

Well there ya go, that's what it takes to beat the Tohatsu... So now what are you afraid of ?
Let them run! There must be some way to E-mail and phone call this issue around and get this fixed for this season. With all the talk of declining entry's the Ds need a second class and it just might assure that the D-Mods always have a place to run... 50-R
