Does anyone know with the mandatory pit stop at lap 50 (the website says for fuel only) if there will be a weight break at the end of feature for fuel?
No idea about the pit stop rulings for fuel/weight and such but I can find that all out.. What are you suggesting there?? That guys would put in the minimum fuel to begin the race and then again on lap 50 just to weigh less through tech?? I really dont think there should be a pit stop at all for a 100 lapper at Barrie (unless perhaps caution filled and decided upon that part way through) but that's besides the point..
As for a Sauble LLM, while I didnt hear anything definitive from tech (bit of a short night not much time for chit chat) I did touch the subject with a few veteran Barrie LLM drivers on their thoughts.. The consenus amongst those I spoke to was that a 50 pound penalty is about right (and fair) on a Sauble LLM car.. Makes sence as that's what I think Sunset penalizes a Sauble car competing in the MRE series races.. The Sauble guys that have competed in said series know how to set up their car with that kinda weight penalty being assessed to them, so makes sense from that point too.. I'm guessin by that they mean a 50 pound penalty on top of the 55% left 2925, 56% left 2975 for built motors??? Is that what I should be led to assume they meant to me??LOL Sorry for my ignorance, not a real area of expertice if you can't tell..
Regardless I'll check it out for you tonight
All Late Model drivers now have the option of running with 50 lbs less weight or, 56% left-side weight.

this is from Sauble website under Wieght Rules.......also a 108 car that is stock clip can place eingine 2" back from #1 spark plug......for those that do not know the JSR is a 347 cu in FORD
WOW now I'm sucessfully more confused.. ;D
;D ;D .....seems fair to me but the Sauble cars have Roller Rockers on hydraulic cam and lifters but ask your builder this is to keep them together not for performance....mabee Hosking Race engines can back that statement up for me I know that is a TRUSTED name in BARRIE
