My daughter was dq’d in her purple plate predator class race. Reason being was the carburetor screw was split “butterflied”. We accepted that and walked away, till we got home and noticed all 4 of our brand new predator motors had the same exact screw in it. After calling the track, we were told they follow Akra rules on the carburetor, which I then looked into their rules on the website and it states the carburetor can be changed to a akra carb. It does not state it must be run. The rules also state the motor must be run out of the box, minus floor mounted gas tank, cold air intake, 10.8 valve spring, weenie pipe and muffler.
I admit i don’t know the Akra rules. I am in the process of ordering the rule book.
I guess my question is how can a factory carburetor not be legal because the screw is split and does anyone know specifically if this is called out in the rule book. My second question would be why would it matter, we are running a purple restrictor plate. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
