dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yes I was wondering why you can't run camaros in the pure stock class. They are the same wheel base as a Monte Carlo and they have the same suspension as a nova. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtRacer9s Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 There are differences in the rear suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Because they were considered sports cars ...I think..... And came stock with bigger engine... For those who read PURE STOCK.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 What are the differences in the rear suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Monte Carlos were considered a sports car. On a original title it said sports coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 And as far as bigger engines novas came with the same size motors as camaros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 The last year for a big block in a camaro was 1972. Last year for a nova 1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 The only difference in rear suspension is spring width. The camaro is roughly a half inch wider than the nova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyJack Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 wider is better, no cameros in purestock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 It was just a guess...guess we race with the same old rules from the 80s....maybe back then the nova and camero weren't legal because of Unibody design....? Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think they should allow it. There are a bunch of old camaros still around and some people can not afford to race in the shootout class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 They allow novas now so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yeah I would agree....just think we have been using old rules and no one has stopped to think about an update....I want to say back in 08 when we started the nova and camero both weren't allowed in pure...i37....not sure about when nova was allowed.... Interesting...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I can run a sport mod in street stock now so why not......??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top_shelf_12 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I remember Longhorn Speedway Hobbies were all Novas, may have been since they were leaf spring cars but not sure, was a kid but that's the reason why I even know what a Nova is. I don't know the answer to this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a camaro that meets all the requirements of the pure stock class. Except for being a camaro. I am just trying to make the class bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm002 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Could it be because of the weight. It may not be gutted like a street stock but if it's lighter than a monte then you could move a lot more weight around giving more of an advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 A Monte Carlo is lighter than a camaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Ok got some words from an old timer.... Back in the day .. No leaf spring cars in pure stock class period.... Then the let nova in because the motor was positioned further forward than camero ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS08 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Old timer= Rene Mares......??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasr Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Stock location is stock location. It is different wheel base than a nova.but is the same wheel base as a Monte Carlo metric car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
