thanks zero Embarrassed lol. maybe you just hit the nail on the head. one representitive voted in by his peers from each track. then they all get together and hash out some rules and govern ourselves that way! if the promoters don't have the time, then we'll do it. i would even give up driving to dedicate myself to this. its that important and needed. bring back challengers which alot of us are and let the guys still running a real thundercar have their division. there is alot of cars out there that either dont meet the current thunder rules and don't even race because they can't be competitive and lots of cars that are just a tad above todays thunders that could easily become challengers. now is the time for change and lets get all those cars out of the barn and back on the track. THEY ARE THERE, i know of many and so do all of you. feedback would be appreciated! i'll start a new topic for this!
when we say challengers Jim are we talking our thunders with front load bolts,any body,heim shocks and what else?
unlimited cam, rear discs, spec (non rebuildable ) shocks on front and qa1's on back, camaro clips, chevelle clips. stay with 4 point rear mounts. thunders would have qa1's on front and spec pro shocks on rear. that way guys with 4 qa1s could sell their fronts and not lose money
I do believe Jim you are on the right track. Thunder car as we know it is long gone. Bringing in the challenger cars is a win win for everyone. I do not know how this would work with Nascar. Is there money for another class, from the tracks? As we both know these are tuff times. First class idea for a representative from each track, BAD BAD, BAD idea of you not racing, we will talk later. We are in a time when something like this has to happen . Not just for the drivers, but fans and track owners. You would be a great representative of this division for all interested parties. lets get this on the move before it is too late. If anyone has anything to say, SAY IT NOW, all ideas will help. And JAMES do not even think about, you know, the ( Q ) word. LOL.
Mosport already runs this (similar) format today, they call it the Sportsman Division. They've essentially got Challenger style cars running with Thunders. It's not exactly been a roaring success with high car counts. I think only 7 cars ran the full season with 22 different cars showing up for at least one race.
