8 inch tires,sticks,3 link rear,9 inch,3100 pounds make them the same and crack down on this crate program,some guys are startin to open them up an thats bs
come to varney motor speedway,,its run what you brung for the thunder cars,,,cause there car count sucks so bad they wont turn any one away!!
Had to read that twice.... anyway no matter how you slice it you guys need a solution. Hopefully there's an easy one for you. One thing, most of the commenters can agree there is very few cheap usable cars left.
The BS need to stop and that means all the players know EXACTLY what they are in for. No more mid season rule changes and forcing everybodie's hand. If the cost are going up then everybody needs to be able to make an informed decision. I'm not sure why everbody has their knickers in not over the body issue and nobody blinked over the shocks.
I dunno bodies are not just lying around in the wrecking yards...is this what we want..I'm asking is all
Honestly? Yeah, they look alright. You want crap go look at some of the Junkyard Stock or Bomber classes on dirt tracks in the States... Those just look like some homemade body panels, and they've probably been through a good season of hard racing.
I'd rather see cars that look like that, than guys showing up with the same fenders and nose race after race after race after race, just banged out and hoping for the best, because they can't afford to buy the Five Star front end once a month.
And like I said, sometimes you get neat combinations. That Sport Stock class they run down at South Buxton has some neat looking cars sometimes, because their body rules are pretty liberal.
As Jim said, I don't really find this argument as important as actual performance ENHANCING parts on the car. As long as it's all steel and it doesn't look like a wreck, who cares?
When did this new shock rule come into place??
