A couple of months ago it was announced that five potential changes were being considered for the Ministock class, and a record number of consultation submissions were received. Two of the five changes have been adopted in an altered form.
New restrictor plate: A thicker restrictor plate with 17mm holes will be in force for all cars from the start of next season. Once we have supplies in stock these will be available for purchase. The revised rule reads as follows:-
T15-1-23 Restrictor Plate
(a) The approved 2015 Restrictor plate supplied by SNZ must be fitted between the inlet manifold and the carburettor insulator or between carburettor insulator and carburettor.
(b) The restrictor plate must have two 17mm diameter circular holes.
(c) The internal holes of the restrictor plate must not be modified in any way. The restrictor plate must
not be modified in any way
Control gasket for Nissans: The proposal that was initially circulated would have seen the Nissan M30-071 head unable to be used. However the aim was only to ensure heads that require modifications to be outlawed and further investigations revealed that some of the heads with that part # are OK. Hence, a control gasket is now in force for Nissan
engines, and the revised rule reads as follows:-
T15-1-24(b) The head, manifold and gasket cannot be modified.
All Nissans must use the Payen/ACL gasket part # JA010, and the stud pattern of the head and manifold must match the gasket without modification.
Racing in Both Directions: The aim of this proposal was to stop those who are building offset chassis and utilising non-compliant suspension componentry to assist with performance. After receiving substantial feedback on this topic (most vehemently op- posed) the Board are still determined to ensure a level playing field, and have made the following decisions.
1) Competitors found with non-compliant chassis or suspension will be dealt with severely, and all of those involved in the
Ministock class are reminded of this rule:-
T15-1(j) The Board may suspend any driver whose car is modified or oversize from the class ALTOGETHER.
2) If any Ministock is found to have an illegally offset chassis or non-compliant springs and shocks next season then the Board has the discretion to implement racing in both directions. The onus is now on stakeholders within the class to ensure all cars are compliant. To assist with this a list of compliant shock absorbers is being worked on, and a new set of easy to under stand Ministock rollcage plans is set to be introduced.
Control camshaft: This proposal was not adopted by the Board.
Rolling starts: Starting procedures are still at the discretion of tracks, who may utilise either rolling or standing starts.
