I pasted the entire thing below, but here is the link; http://ndra.nopi.com/2005/kd_d...d=438

Pro Outlaw RWD: Six Cylinder twin turbos cars are limited to P-Trim 58 mm turbos and Six Cylinder competitors running a single turbo will be limited to 74 mm. All Six Cylinder twin turbo engines are limited to a 3.1 liter displacement. Pro Outlaw RWD 4 cylinder cars are limited to a single 78 mm turbo if running adjustable clutch style transmissions.
General Rules: All classes must have a minimum of 2 qualified racers for the class to run on race weekends.
During the course of the 2005 season all classes have created challenges for the NDRA and Xbox Cup Championship competitors. First from the competitors point of view there is the lack of full fields in most classes thus there have been no full field payouts and too many bye runs. Second there is concern for disparity between competitors and the variety of four and six cylinder models, weights and turbo sizes. It is the mission of the NDRA to address these competition issues along with the best interest of the racing fans watching at the track or on NOPI TV.
Options considered in an effort to encourage more competitors were limiting power adders in certain classes or increasing power adders on certain four cylinder models, reducing their weight and creating new aero packages in an effort to level the field. We can not count on new cars being built for competition unless there are new guidelines that will be class standards with specifications that will remain in effect until at least the 2007 season. So after long hours of research and exploring all the possibilities the NDRA staff has elected to put rule changes in the opening into effect immediately and to review the results again by July 1, 2005 with expectations to keep them in place through 2007.
