2016 Rules Now Online For The Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals

The 21^st Annual Haltech Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals are only a few months away, and final preparations are in full swing to make this race bigger and better than ever. One of the larger activities that goes on before the WCF is the drafting of rules for the event. Unlike most races where there typically are only a handful of combinations in play, the WCF has significantly more to deal with since it has both import and domestic cars competing against one another.

Jason Miller, Chris Miller, and the WCF Rules Committee have been working extremely hard on making sure the rules allow a maximum variety of entries into the event, while still remaining fair. “There are so many different possibilities out there with the different manufacturers, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and engine combinations to go with them. Then you also have the cars that run in the different sanctioning bodies and heads-up classes so it’s really a lot to look at when you’re trying to create a complete rules package,” Jason Miller says.

Besides the different chassis and driveline alternatives that could be used in competition, Miller and the WCF Rules Committee must examine the potential of what a combination could do in full race trim. “The thing our committee has to be mindful of is what a combination is really capable of when we’re working these rules out. A street car with a certain engine and power adder isn’t going to run the same number as the same combo in a full-blown racecar where the combination is totally optimized, so that’s why certain rules are put in place,” Miller explains.

Various changes were made to all seven of the heads-up classes at the WCF, and are highlighted in blue text for each category on the rules page of the website. One of the bigger highlights of the rule changes is the addition of Outlaw 632 as a crossover class to Outlaw vs Extreme. Another big change is that all cars must be import bodied and powered, or domestic bodied and powered … so no hybrid cars are permitted.

All of the class rules have been posted on importvsdomestic.com in the rulebook section, and Jason did a Facebook Live session on the WCF Facebook page to answer any questions racers might have. The Facebook Live video also has additional information about the run order, when racers can go through tech, and much more.
