Series administrators of the AMS Pro Mod Challenge presented by Tindle
Enterprises, Inc. announced, today, several rule changes in the turbo-powered

date. Changes are effective immediately, and are under continued scrutiny of the
Series to maintain competitiveness between the different power
plants.
Engine Size: Max 650 CID
Clutch: Up to three-disk clutch permitted Series administrators of the AMS Pro Mod Challenge presented by Tindle Enterprises, Inc. announced, today, several rule changes in the turbo-powered entries to enhance competitive performance based on results from performance to date. Changes are effective immediately, and are under continued scrutiny of the Series to maintain competitiveness between the different power plants.
Engine Size: Max 650 CID
Clutch: Up to three-disk clutch permitted
Manual Transmission: Any aftermarket planetary or clutchless manual transmission with a maximum of 5 forward speeds permitted. Reverse gear mandatory. Lenco drive or BRT drive unit and transbrake are permitted as manufactured; no additional wiring or plumbing permitted. Maximum one transmission brake solenoid permitted. Automated shifters and/or timer type shifting devices prohibited; each individual shift must be a function of the driver. Shifting must be controlled by manual or pneumatic means only (driver pulls the lever or pushes the button); electric or electronics may in no way affect the shifting mechanism. Automatic Transmission prohibited.
Series director Matthew Brammer said, "We started the season with the understanding that once we got a baseline, we would look at making adjustments to the rules to improve or inhibit the performance. These rule changes are aimed at improving performance while not allowing turbos - or any power plant - to run away.
"Drivers must understand that we can and will make any changes necessary to maintain competition," he said.
Changes are effective immediately and will be implemented beginning the NHRA Mac Tools US Nationals in Indianapolis.
