Moates Quarterhorse now a legal "add-on" in Factory Stock

Post by TooSlo86 » Thu Mar 13, 2014 11:51 am

I forgot to post up my pleasure about this back when the NMRA released the rules. One of my biggest hurdles when I started racing NMRA Factory Stock was NOT being able to use my trusted Moates Quarterhorse. I would have to dial in my tune, then have my buddy @ X&M Hot Rods transfer my tune over to a Diablo chip. Once on that and I was at the track there was no turning back so fueling and timing had to be finagled the old school way. Well I figured it wouldn't hurt to put in a rules request to have the QH legalized so I did, knowing I would be the only current racer who cared. Turns out it got approved as long as I remove the download cable. :biggrin:

Just thought it was cool, and it'll make my life a hell of alot easier for this coming year, especially while trying to get a new bullet together and dialed in for it!

It probably wasn't approved for use either.

Well one because as Chris said, it wasn't legal either, and two, because it never cost me anything whenever I needed to have it burnt to the Diablo. That's his way of sponsoring me, well, and discounts on time on the rollers ;)

The Diablo chip is called out on the rules, the Moates isn't.
