Shadow - i agree with every one of your points re koth.
They used to be interesting, but as with most racing
divisions they evolve (the money influence) and lose their
initial appeal.
 
thanks for your reports.

Just to throw my nickle in the bucket. Our car was co-built buy CSC and myself. We had a great year of sponsorship in 2008 and enough money to start to build a new car. We decided for obvious reasons to move our program over to Delaware where I figured our Monte Carlo wasn't goin to cut it.
The Camaro we purchased was a disaster as far as condition goes and was heavily corroded. This meant a fully fabricated rear clip and some creative body work. If you know anything about cars you will undoubtedly understand the time, money and equipment it takes to build a car. The investment in eqipment alone is quite formidable to even begin the task of building a car with a recycled body. The mess is unbeleivable, as is the smoke, the fires, the exploding zip cut wheels, broken glass...I could go on.
The bottom line is an alternative to this is a positive for the sport and the division in general. If you have a good steel body on your car then run it, If you want to change to glass then why not?
As far as secrecy goes, what was the intention of the secrecy? I was allowed to look at the car a while back! nobody hid it from me...and who am I?
I understand the reservations Some teams have but I also understand the reservations anybody looking to get into the sport would have.
I have made some suggestions in the survey the track put out and if you have some concerns I suggest you d othe same.
OK my nickle is up.

Sounds like I missed one heck of a Friday, curse those weddings!!  Major congrats to the green machine!

As for the SS body, that thing looks great. It will help generate new people into the sport. Jimmy hit a good point with using old chassis', the mess is astounding. If I could afford it. I would definitely build one of those.

Just a question, could you possibly look at doing an Astro Safari front clip as an option? It's loosley based on a pickup truck setup, and is a easily found clip. Just an idea for banging around, and thanks Sid for the hard work  you and your team put forth to create that piece.

Forget what the chassis looks like being stock or not. as far as i am concerned non of the cars out there are stock with shoe box looking hood scoops, the chopped tops, the nova bumpers etc. my dad and I did not work three months straight 7- 12 am to get this shot down and for being a secret.The shop door was open as long that we were there.
Would you rather have cars that look like enduros now of which no one under 10 know what the hell a nova is or 2010 camaro of which they can establish as a "transformers" car.

just wanted to say that #33 camaro, looks amazing, nice job guys.   just one question, why are you guys going to fiberglass bodies, super stocks should have steel bodies, like most other tracks?  now all your cars will look like late models, which isnt cool, late models are boring, if your changing your body rules, why not leave them steel and use plastic, fiberglass front ends.  or does no one like working with steel?  at least a steel body is different and takes some craftsmanship to make, who cares if there are too many novas, camaro's, 90% of them look awesome at delaware and you can tell the drivers and crews spend a lot of time making them that way.  im from sunset speedway, we run steel bodies on our super stocks, and wouldnt have it any other way, we built a mustang last year, lots of work, but very satisfying when its done, cause no one else has a steel body mustang, maybe down the road someone will, but for now its the only one. there are 1000's of newer model cars, lincolns, cadi's, that most have plastic race noses for, build one of those, get some hammers and dollies and some time and scrap the crap fiberglass, stick to what a real superstock should run... jmo...
