So when can we expect to see 2011 rules released for Knoxville? Would like to see them BEFORE we finish the motor. Thanks

I completely agree. I heard Cappy wants to keep the 305 entry level, and has said if a racer wants to upgrade there is a 360 class. I hope they publish the official rules very soon racing season is near

This was posted on Knoxville's website in December....
Changes in Rules Announced!
12/17/2010 -
For Immediate Release Contact: John McCoy
December 16, 2010 [email protected]
Knoxville
Raceway Officials announced several upcoming changes to the rule book
for the 2011 season. Most notably was the addition of 25 lbs to the
minimum weight rule in the 410 class. In addition to being part of the
World of Outlaw’s 2011 rules, it was felt this was a good move to
further encourage safer materials and parts in the cars. It was felt
that the increase would not be an inconvenience to most of the cars
running the Knoxville Championship Cup Series.
The second item
on the agenda was the addition of the standards for the LS sprint
engine and allowing it to run at all 2011 events at Knoxville Raceway
including the Knoxville Nationals. The rules will be pretty much
standard with the existing LS packages that utilize the 427 LS engine.
They will be posted on the web site as soon as a few rules are
finalized concerning fuel delivery and the different choices that are
available.
Also additional intake stack restrictions are being
added to the Knoxville “Open” engine. Any engines 430 cu. in. or bigger
will be further restricted to a 2 1/2” stack. Engines under 430 cu. in.
can still use the 2 5/8” stack. All other rules apply to the “Open“
engine platform as written. At this time the Knoxville “Open” engine
will not be allowed to compete at the 2011 World of Outlaw events or
the 2011 Knoxville Nationals.
“Hopefully we can further study
this engine weekly and it will be able to be accepted for all Knoxville
Raceway shows in 2012.” Stated Knoxville Competition Director, John
McCoy. “ These governed engines either by air intake or internal parts
are still considered to be important to the continued health of the
sport by Knoxville Officials.”
Another addition was the inclusion of the Schoenfeld Muffler #14272735 to be allowed in 2011 and mandatory in 2012.
There were no changes in the 360 rules.
In
the 305 class, Knoxville Officials have expressed an interest in using
a stock intake gasket to further regulate the intake port.
For more information on Knoxville Raceway and the Knoxville Nationals go to www.knoxvilleraceway.com or call (641)842-5431.

The intake gasket is the ONLY change I have heard even being discussed. I also had someone tell me that they decided against it anyway. I talked to John McCoy about a month ago and he said no changes were planned.
305RULES, knowing that you are a major backer of the local Iowa 305's, I am hoping you are just messing with me on these rules you are posting. I understand that some don't want drysump, etc but some do......If you dont want a drysump, don't buy one. I would bet 9 times out of 10, the drysump didn't win the race. The other one that it did, was when the wetsump leading the race burned up from lack of oiling......
There is no reason to ban things that make a motor live longer. If you want to make rules for performance parts, I understand. But a drysump is not going to take a 10th place car to the front. If the couple of HP that is shown on a dyno is that big of a deal, make them weigh an extra 50 or 100 lbs. Anyone that knows about racing will tell you that dyno numbers don't win races either....
