Visiting Drivers for the 4&6 Cylinder Bone Stock 75 in October

Guest · 2011-08-21T12:55:57Z

This list was partly posted in another thread, but I'm not certain that the drivers from the other speedways always head over to the Delaware boards to see what we're up to.I am currently promoting a Bone-Stock 4 & 6 cylinder race at the track which will run on October 15th. The format is similar to an old-school enduro event. Some four-cyinder drivers have been excited about the possibility of joining in the fun either with their existing equipment or a purpose-built car for the event.Studying the rulebooks for the four-cylinder classes around the province, I find there are more similarities than differences. Many are close to the Bone Stock spec, but have perhaps gotten away a bit with modifications to the setups of the cars. Here’s the general rules checklist to run your racing program against if you are an existing competitor from another track:Nicely formatted checklist, available on the event info page now:event info:goal here is to invite others to join the fun, without compromising the stock-nature of the event. Here is a text verision of the same list:To run this event I need a:- Have-Fun Attitude- Four or Six Cylinder Vehicle- 4-point Roll Cage- 5-point seatbelts- Proper SA 2005 helmet- Minimum Spec Fire SuitI cannot run this event with:- Engine modifications of any kind- Suspension Modifications of any kind- Fancy new tires.If I wish to run this race, I will have to return to stock setup.I can have a:- Front hoop, provided I do not install additional Bone Stock bumper bars.- For car numbers: I will not force you to repaint, but I do suggest getting a theme, or even covering your number with the name of your car. This is mainly for the fans.I understand that:- This event will be taking place on a full 1/2-mile speedway.- That there will be obstacle cars pre-placed on the track.- Vehicles that are disabled during the race will be removed, and may be replaced with an obstacle car.- It is not a demolition derby - - but sheet metal shall be bent.---Some Speedway Specifics (After you read that attached link):Sauble Speedway "Dacar" Type CarsAre legal for competition, double check to make sure your roll cage is indeed up to spec for bone stocks. Make sure your castor and camber are stock.Sauble Speedway Four Cylinder CarsAre legal for competition with minor notes. Setup on the car (castor / camber) must be returned to stock position, same with anything you might have done to the springs. If you have any kind of 'performance tires', please don't bring them. Standard street tires only. If you are running a front-hoop, you are permitted to do so, but are not permitted to add the additional 'defensive rub rails' used by the Bone Stocks.Flamboro Mini StocksMuch the same as the Sauble Four Cylinders, your cars are legal for competition with a few minor rollbacks. This includes returning your castor / camber to stock. Again, 'performance tires' should be left at home. If you are running a front-hoop, you are permitted to do so, but are not permitted to add the additional 'defensive rub rails' used by the Bone Stocks.Peterborough Four-FunMany of cars are legal for competition with modifications. One notable one is that your rulebook currently does not require a roll cage, but you will need one to run in this event. This investment will also improve your safety at your home-track. Remember to return your castor and camber back to stock, and ensure you are indeed in compliance with the no-performance tire rules. You are permitted to add defensive rub rails per the Bone Stock rulebook.Peterborough Enduro (4 & 6)Your cars are legal for competition, however like the four-funs your rulebook does not have detailed cage specs. You do need a roll cage to run this event, which will improve your safety at your home-track races as well. Also please return your castor and camber to stock. Same with the tires.Peterborough Mini-StockYour cars are legal for competition, with minor modifications. Your cage specs are correct, but note that if you have installed a front hoop, you are not permitted to run front bumper bars in addition to the hoop. Castor and camber must be returned to stock. Please leave racing wheels and tires at home.Varney Stock FourThe Stock-Four rules have a number of problematic issues for a stock series, mainly relating to the suspension on the cars. If a Varney Stock four car is hoping to participate, please contact me well in advance of the event.Varney EnduroCars themselves are legal but require safety upgrades to cage and seatbelts to be approved. Stock setup, stock wheels.Capital City Speedway Enduro (Ottawa)The 4 & 6 Cyl cars from this division would be legal for competition, with some safety updates. You will require that 4-point roll cage, and will need to have a p...

I too seem to miss the reasoning behind not allowing rear wheel drive vehicles?

For a fact, carbed Mustangs make less then 100hp from the factory.

Fact, The rules you have released allow cars well over 200hp,

Since my 240 is pretty well smashed to hell, I was considering bringing it to this event..

Oh wait, I cant because the power is delivered to the rear wheels and not the front ones... :s

You might as well just enforce a factory horsepower limit to control the speeds and competition. Seems simple enough?

And LOL at a MX-6 being seen as a "performance" car.

I'm not Paul, and if the race sucks it's not more entertainment for the fans, traditional type 4 cylinder racing won't work at Delaware, it's too big.
