Driver's meeting rundown - SUPER STOCK

Guest · 2010-11-02T07:30:01Z

Some nice changes were announced for the upcoming 2011 racing season at Delaware Speedway.Those changes would include some 600 new seats complete with backs. The possibility of some new or returning favourites such as ARCA, OSS, OSCAAR, VMODS, and the return of the ISMA's The Super Stock agenda for 2011 has had quite a few adjustment put forward for as suggestions for the track officiating body to look at. Some of those changes are the by now famous Ultimate Sandblasting fibergalss modern era muscle car bodies. The proposal for this monumentous change was voted upon by all attending team representatives. The vote came back as quite a surprise with a 20 for it and a mere 8 against.Most of the suggestions for other changes are going to be considered over the next month or two before we will realize just what those changes are. Some of those changes put fourth were overhauling the handicapping system, a 3 nite on 1 nite off schedule, rain day make up races, hold back pay for 1 night, a copule of more big lap feature nites with time qualifying. Sponsor appreciation deals and the like are apparently going to be allot more structured going forward, as is building the relationship between the track ,drivers and fans.Ron Sheridan the new Race Director did an excellent of laying out just how the race procedures are going to be handled and by whom. Some ideas he brought to the table were, cleaning up starts and restarts, the return of the dreaded black flag, what constitutes a bump and run as opposed to a dump and run. On the technical side it has been assured we can forget about mid-season show of hands rule votes and presumably the tech guys are going to take a firmer stand on the rules regarding the cars.From the crowd side of the meeting and it was nearly a crowd! The big concern was obviously the new body and the secondary concern was scrapping the 9" 50# weight penalty. As it stands both of these issues are not finalized and more information will be forthcoming. I might expect some changes for the current steal bodies as well as some tweaks to the pending approved version only glass bodies.I don't think too many teams went away dissatisfied, and I would like to say most went away with a stronger sense of what is coming is good. And by the way we are not going to have repaved the track, so get used to the idea of another season of the ole' girls curves, dimples and bumps. With the fabulous 2010 season behind us, I can see 2011 is going to be that much better. I think the track is going in the right direction to continue the strong push for improvements.Just edited the title. There's gonna be 5 of these threads up by the end of the week :)

the biggest thing i think as only a spectator over the years is the metrics needed an advantage over the leafes cars anyone know what the win ratio was before they let the metric guys do this got to beup around 90% leafe over coil..

i like the looks of the new bodys but hey here is an idea all that glass will weigh about the same as an alum bodie ;D so no added weight to them if the steel body guys switch to alum.

Looks like the pics have been taken down for the moment, but you can contact Sid here. He's "Team 33" I believe. All I've seen is the Camaro (sweet) but theres apparently Mustang and Challenger in the works.
