NickHolt Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 In talking with SAS General Manager Rick Day a few minutes ago, SAS has decided to up the Grand Stock claim rule to $1,300 outright and $800 exchange. Rick said that they had done some more research and that the $1,300 was a more realistic figure than the original $800 outright rule. Rick indicated that the actual rules change will be published in a few days. Nick Holt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHigdon Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm a little confused by this, by $800 exchange does this mean that when a driver claims another drivers car the the driver being claimed gets the other drivers car plus $800 from the claimer, or am I totally not understanding this?

NickHolt Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm a little confused by this, by $800 exchange does this mean that when a driver claims another drivers car the the driver being claimed gets the other drivers car plus $800 from the claimer, or am I totally not understanding this? As I said, the rule will be rewritten in the next few days. I'm sure it will all become clear at that time. In the meantime, the message is that the claim amount has been increased.

Rick Day Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 That is correct, the claim rule is that someone may claim(buy) your Grand Stock for $1300.00 out right, the seller keeps his/her seat, seat belt and any personal nicknack they may have put in the car. Or for $800.00 if someone claims your Grand Stock you have the option to take his Grand Stock and $800.00 remove your items listed above and both be back racing next week. This class is intended to be a low dollar beginners class and we done want people to be putting alot of money in this division. AS I SAID BEFORE IT IS INTENDED AS A BEGINNERS CLASS. Hope this helps or you can call me at 210-827-4524 and we can talk about it Thanks again Rick Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHigdon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok, that makes perfect sense, and is actually one of the most sensible claim rules I have ever seen for a class like this, thanks for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonSenseRacing Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Didn't we have this discussion back in December? Let me start by saying I’m not looking to detract from the rules or the guys who wrote them, I’m just curious about people’s opinion regarding the $800 claimer rule. I was looking at the grand stock rules, in particularly the claimer rule. I’m all for reduction of cost, but I don’t know if you can realistically build a car for $800. USED Donor car 500 Racing rims 100 Fuel cell 100 Gauges 50 NEW Tune up 75 Fluids 50 Miscellaneous 100 Cage 300 Door plating 30 Padding 50 TOTAL $1,355 I didn’t include the equipment that they say wouldn’t go with the car. Also, I didn’t count the labor to build and install everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPA Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 CSR Go back at look at what Rick Day posted. The claim has been raised to $1300. $800 and exchange of cars is another way it works. Plus you pull your seat and belts,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
