Title: Other gas coupe class questions
Post by: Clay Pitkin on July 14, 2008, 10:58:23 AM

In the current rule book for Gas Coupe, it reads that a conventional automotive radiator shall be used in the coventional location, in front of engine behind the grill.

Question: Does radiator have to be functioning meaning plumbed etc?


Also in this same class, it reads that the car has to have a starter capable of starting the engine.

I do have a starter installed and functional on my engine.
 
Question: My "starter" that pulls the rope, does not have the strength to pull the engine over to start it (I am running a snowmobile engine) can I push start the car using my push truck? 


TIA
Clay

For 2008 you can use a push truck in Gas Coupe class. There has been a change submitted that would require the street classes such as Production and Gas Coupe to use the required on-board starter to start the engine.

You may have to have an alternate plan in 2009.
