top_shelf_12 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I doubt it. Don't think the aluminum intake will fly, 15" at 1000 RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyJack Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 i think they said shady oaks rules could run along with the changes allowed for shocks and weight, same for sts cars, not sure about any other tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Talked to someone affiliated with the track yesterday and they said arklatex speedway factory stock rules were legal but had to weigh 3300 and couldn't run slicks.. Also heard compression rule was 175 which is good because that's what it is in factory stock. There's no performance advantage of the aluminum intake it's stock has gm stamps and everything on it. Just would like to get some clarification from whoever is with the track on what exactly the rules are and posted somewhere so there is no confusion in tech.

purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 And factory stock vacuum is 14in at 1200rpm.. Basically what I'm asking is why did ken post factory is runnin with pures but then won't allow a lot of the factory stock rules? Just needa know EXACTLY what is or isn't legal instead of the he said she said stuff that I have been getting. Thanks to anybody that can help clear this up!

purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I have heard that arklatex factory stock rules are legal, you can run your home track pure stock or factory stock rules with the exception that you have to be on g60's and weigh 3300lbs, with stock intake, no victor jr. Intake. Anybody else hear this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Compression rule is 160 on purestocks but I heard the opened it up to 175 for factory stocks to run since that's what our rules state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtRacer9s Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Where does it say 160 is the compression rule? I looked and couldn't find that in the current rules for STS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Shady oaks purestock rules say 160 compression which is what ken posted where legal so I assumed that's what south Texas speedways compression rule was. Most all purestocks have a compression rule of 160 but factory stocks is 175. Another rule I noticed was the flywheel factory stock rules is minimum 10.5 inch flywheel what is south Texas speedway rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cperry115 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 my original thought would've been this is the STS shootout here are our rules..... meet these rules and come race...now we have so many variations I don't know what's up... Â I think what we need is an official list from a the track...no combining, do what you want, use these 2 together, use only this ..I don't know but this is crazy STS ...current rules...with exception stock mount racing shocks only SOS...current rules...exception == Factory Stock ===I have no clue== G-60's and 3300 lbs.. Â remember a factory stock came down here 2/3 years ago and raced as is with the street stocks and won or led the majority of the Friday night qualifier and finished 16th on Saturday night in he big "a". of course he had some experience on the track from the past but none the less you get the point ...

SouthTexasSpeedway Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 South Texas Speedway as made this clear!  I will say it one more time.  Pure stocks- STS rules/ Exceptions: 3300 lbs, Racing shocks in stock location and stock mount, also KK704, Hoosier G60 or any 60 series tire, No headers  Factory stocks: May come and race as long as they fit the 3300lbs, 8 inch tires (KK704, G60 or any 60 series tire.) No headers  If you have anything else stay home and shut up. Your pissing me off!! If you all continue I'll cancel the whole damn show!!! I don't have to be politically correct. I am going to put the best race I can on with as many cars as I can get.  Ken Hobbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purefast19 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ken if you would post what set of factory stock rules your goin to tech off of there would be a lot more comin down I'm sure. WHAT track rules are yall gonna tech off of for a factory stock? Arklatex? That's all I need to know, I understand we need to meet the weight rule and tire rule you have posted, but there's a whole hell of a lot more rules that will be brought up on the tech pad.

SouthTexasSpeedway Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 We have been using the Lonestar speedway rule package. I believe it is the same as Ark-La-Tex. Â Ken Hobbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
