Take a look at this, Procharger Weight Controversy on No Prep Kings & Possible Rule Adjustment?
Street Outlaws’ No Prep Kings, the adrenaline-pumping racing series, kicked off its highly anticipated sixth season with a bang. The opening race was nothing short of spectacular, with Kayla emerging as the deserving victor. However, a storm of controversy erupted soon after, centered around the dominance of the Pro Charger and a contentious weight deduction.
In this season, a specific group of racers utilizing the new 136 millimeter Pro Charger found themselves at the center of the controversy. These state-of-the-art superchargers provided an undeniable advantage on the track. According to the published rules, centrifugal supercharged cars, including those equipped with the 136 millimeter Pro Charger, had a base weight requirement of 2750 pounds. There were additional provisions for factors such as lockup, engine size, and vehicle age.
What sparked the controversy was a particular message in the weight editions and induction section of the rules. The message stated that any vehicle utilizing a centrifugal supercharger of 136 millimeters or smaller could deduct an additional 50 pounds from their base weight. However, it was later revealed that this message was, in fact, a typographical error. Participants were instructed to disregard it during the first race of No Prep Kings’ sixth season.
Nevertheless, some racers took advantage of the erroneous weight deduction at the initial race, opting to run 50 pounds below their designated base weight. While no immediate actions were taken in response to this discrepancy, all eyes are now on the upcoming race in Virginia to see whether the cars equipped with the 136 millimeter Pro Charger will adhere to the correct base weight or continue to exploit the weight deduction.
The controversy has sparked a lively debate within the Street Outlaws community. While the rules technically allowed for the weight deduction, many are questioning whether it should be permitted if it was indeed a mistake. The YouTube channel responsible for discussing the Street Outlaws phenomenon made it clear that it does not aim to accuse anyone, but rather aims to shed light on the controversy and gather opinions from the passionate fan base.
As anticipation builds for the next race, Street Outlaws’ No Prep Kings is poised to navigate this weight controversy and decide whether adjustments need to be made to the rules. Ultimately, it will be up to the racing community and the show’s organizers to determine the fate of the Procharger weight controversy.
