water pump
 

In stock can I use aftermarket water pump? Or stock type with electric drive?

Section 10A page 4

Don't build a race car without a rule book. It will save you time and trouble.

And, as previously suggested, go to the track a few times and talk to racers, look at cars.
There's a lot of helpful people on here, but if you have a good working knowledge before you ask on here, it'll be a lot easier for you.

I would go as far as to suggest spending a whole season (at least) learning. It'll make building a car and racing it more enjoyable.
Maybe you can get to know someone well enough to help out. I learned from an experienced racer (Had a great time, too!), and can't imagine having done it on my own.

And then read the rule book again!

If you are building a car and do not even know what is legal that's asking for trouble. This is a rules based class, you better know the rules! Just because this guy or that guy says its legal on this forum or any other, may or may not be the best advice, based on how the question is being presented.

I wanted to say something like this but didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Lots of good people here, but you are still expected to figure stuff out yourself and bring the tough questions to the forum.

Before I started building my race car I built model cars and got into reproducing NHRA class cars like Pro Mod and Pro Stock. You just can't buy a kit for that. I had an NHRA rulebook, two SFI chassis spec books and a ton of photos from the track and the Net. The knowledge gained really helped with my build.

It's the same as..


Buy him a fish and he will starve......

Buy him a fishing pole and he will eat well the rest of his life.........

Let the rule book be his fishing pole.....
