Just spitballing ideas here...for the sake of argument. What is keeping our cars from being ACT legal anyway?
Could it be done or would everyone have to rebuild what they have?
Again...just for the sake of argument 😉
A few things off the top of my head:
- no offset chassis in ACT (not sure how many at Delaware)
- no two speed transmissions (again, not sure how many at Delaware)
- spec Koni shocks and no bump stops (this would affect pretty much everyone)
- ACT crate engine is smaller, but you could phase that in
- ACT runs a pretty narrow tread width vs a standard late model...not sure how you would get there
didn't Jon Urlin run an ACT car quite successfully the last few years at Delaware?
I am not sure if it met all the ACT rules but I know it was run in ACT as well. Only him or his crew could tell you that. Whenever we ran our ACT car at the GC 300 we had a great handling car compared to most but got beat by 2 car lengths down the straights.
Its more cost saving that makes ACT rules the better option. I won't get into what rule combinations are compatible. We need to get the costs down first.
Three year rules freeze??? ???
I seem to remember a nearly 3 "decades" long rules freeze with Cascar.
In those years there weren't 10 things that changed on those cars and none of those changes were of any real significance.
3 years just seems like a short time. Some guys will still be trying to get up to speed with the other teams then it'll change again. You can't get ahead that way,,,,,,well maybe a chassis builder or parts supplier can. ::)
it's a lot better than the 3 hour rule freeze we were dealing with previously....
