Chevy35 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know the tongue was hanging out of my car and couldn't come close to those cars but it was a good race we will get them next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickem Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not sure how you figure there posers. I walked over and looked at them myself in the pits and besides aluminum bodies wasnt nothing secret about them. Tony was parked beside them and got a good look at them. I know those holy moly cars are pretty good cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevy35 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I did see some stuff on the cars that were not up to SOS rules but they let him run all I know is the car that won the race on his interview thanks a sponsor for building is shocks so if that tells you anything the way I read the rules you can't have shocks built you going to run stock shocks just hope you don't continue during the regular season will not good be good for the track just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see the track upset someone by claiming their shocks and potentially lose a racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know those holy moly cars are pretty good cars. could spot several things that aren't allowed ( and that's seated in the stands watching) didn't walk over and inspect the cars close, just know what I could spot as they came by. I race the class and know my rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm002 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Sadly at this point if y'all don't expect those cars to be there on the bigger races to take the money from the locals you might want to start to get used to it. Every time there is a rules change or exception they always say they are trying to get more out of town cars to show up unfortunately those are what seems to be running out of town and the rule changes make it easier for them to show up.

Chevy35 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know I will read the rules a little better on the big shows that was the first night out with my new car it wasn't running perfect but handling good but even then don't think I have enough for those cars but we will be better prepared for the next big show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickem Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 So what did you see from the stands cooter that was so "obvious " track allowed them to race so apparently wasnt too bad. Those 3 cars race all over the place at abunch of different tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have pushed looks onto us cause they don't want us to look like street stocks we are told to run after market body panels not straight sheet metal no decking is allowed. look at them and you will see they look nothing like our typical pure stocks they look like a street stock. When it comes to a big race and especially the first race of the season I highly doubt they will turn a car away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sickem Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 One car had decking obviously sheet metal bodies is gonna happen at somepoint. Its ok if you want to be that guy but yes i do have a car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it doesn't have to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cperry115 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 aluminum bodies should of been the biggest inconsistency, and I believe factory stocks are also allowed to have after market brake pedal assemblies....which allows them to mount further back ...which allows... well you get it...

Sickem Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 A seat rule would fix that. Most tracks have a 25 or 30in seat rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latemodel14z Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 My brother was driving the number 11 car Saturday night. Yes it has a aluminum body, but he had to make it weigh 3400 lbs. to race. His car and the 22t have done there home work on driving and setup on these cars. I plan on building a car for this class and yes it will have a steel body, but I am not going to spend an arm and a leg on shipping for body panels. There are people out there that build steel factory looking bodies in texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
