Additions and Amendments - (effective 2002 racing season)

The rules state that starting in the 2002 race year, street stock engines must be sealed. However, due to concerns being raised, the executive has amended that rule as follows:

For the 2002 race season, all street stock engines must be "officially" sealed as per the rulebook or they will have 2 intake manifold bolts sealed either before the season starts or on the first race day the car is at. At any time after that point, if the engine is torn down it must be "officially" sealed when it is put back together or it will be considered illegal.

If the engine is "officially" sealed as per the rulebook, it will be considered legal at any teardown or track record inspection or random inspection. Engines "unofficially" sealed, that is just intake bolts sealed, will be considered legal only for random teardowns. If an "unofficially" sealed engine is protested, the protest fee will be $100. An officially sealed engine may be protested with a fee of $300.

In the case of a track record being broken with an "unofficially" sealed engine, the new track record will not stand.

An engine with any seal removed, broken or tampered with will be considered illegal.

Body mounts may be removed and replaced with minimum ¼ " belting.
