Barrie speedway Thundercar rule ideas for 2011

Guest · 2010-10-30T09:29:45Z

With the amount of older style thunders making up 90% of our field, i hope that they don't kill the class by opening up too much. Just a few ideas: 1. gear rule, 6.90-7.00 this will hopefully keep some of the older or home built engines together and keep the availability of gear ratios for guys still running the metric rear ends.2. 47% rear weight, this will keep the "new gen" cars from being fabricated with a 50% rear weight ratio and give the cars the same handling properties as the older cars!3. increase cam lift rule to .420/.420, a little more power but keeps the cost down4. manual transmissions, 3spd cast iron. low maintenance and cheaper to buy than a complete glide set up. also no oiling the track down. easier to adjust to run other tracks also. 50lb weight penalty!5. allow 3" exhaust 18" from manifold out, let the engines breate a bit more and a cheap addition!6. stay at 7" ride height, 6" only helps camaros and older chevelles. metric cars have to change mounting points to make the car work properly.7. 602 crate engines, they are cheap, last forever and are choked off with a 2bbl carb and stock manifolds, making them a great alternative for people that can't afford 10k on an engine! There are alot of cars out there, the people can't afford to build a new 20-30k thundercar and these subtle changes are relatively cheap and i believe will even out the field somewhat also making us more competitive at invitationals. we have to evolve a little but not outprice the thunder division which is happening! i like speed and all that but its no fun racing 2 or 3 other cars and the lower budget teams would then be able to run up front. therefore making for a more interesting division. just a few ideas!
