            For those that don’t know already, the car comes with a 11t pinion and 32t spur from NSR.

            Here is a link to all the stock parts and part #’s for the 917K:

              Shawn I have some questions:

              —  I believe the red-hard pod is OEM; so I assume that’s the spec part.

              —  Are no-grips allowed; if so do they have to be the treaded no-grips (aka Classic) and is that the NSR #5201, or are the slick NSR no-grips allowed

              —  So we can get spares for the rear, is the spec the Supergrip Treaded or Slicks? (in last weeks adhoc meeting Ary suggested the OEM style, treaded.)

              —  Is the NSR screw guide allowed (vs the OEM snap in model)

              —  Are we allowing the spur to be changed (as with most series)?

              —  Are ball-bearing or swivel (Victors) bushings allowed vs the OEM oilites?

              — Do wires have to be the OEM skinny cable?

                Mark,

                Since I was camping with Alex for scouts when the rules were finalized, I can’t fully answer your questions.  Historically, we’ve not allowed the low profile front tires due to the non-scale appearance.  I expect that to continue which would eliminate the 17×8 zero grip NSR tires.  All of my NSR 917Ks have the black motor pod so I’m not sure that the red is the stock spec.  If anyone has a newer 917, perhaps they can help us out.  According to the post you made on Monday, gears are open.  Somewhere I remember seeing that we’re allowing the NSR screw in guide.  Since people were wanting to keep the costs low, I would say the stock oilite bearings to be retained.  This whole keeping costs down on a NSR series is still baffling to me but whatever.  The rear tires are to be the stock tires but can be trued which eliminates the “tread” on them. Again this is from your post on Monday.

                I’m confused why you’re asking me about the finer details on the rules as that didn’t seem to stop everyone from making those changes to the rules without my input.

                  Shawn,

                  — The text part list I posted was taken from the HTML table from the NSR site (the HTML is hard to read)

                  — At the meeting 10/29 several suggestions were made. I was not aware of which ones may have been from someone reflecting a discussion they had with you. Since you are the Race Manager, like other series the rules are yours to finish.  The only topic we really voted on was the hardness of the chassis.

                  My question on no-grips was about allowing any NSR no-grips (since we do allow no-grips in some series).

                  As race manager you may want to finalize rules (by declaration or by vote) this Sat 11/12.

                    Since the series was changed from Fly 917K to NSR 917K, I’d say quite a bit more was decided than just the chassis stiffness.

                        Ary has dibs on the Gulf #7 1970 Monza not me.  I have the #24 Salzburg from 1970 LeMans.

                                At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
