sm002 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just curious whether any local drivers would be against me racing down there? I race at Edna and Pleasanton has said they would allow me to race there. The car also has a body line now not just flat sides and I would be running at 3400lbs 50% rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin34 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 So what doesn't fit the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm002 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Decking that covers the back seat like what was allowed at goliad last year. It's around 6" from the back of my seat. Kinda thought since Edna was allowing 3300lb cars there things could go both ways to allow Edna cars down there. Y'all don't even have to move weight to go to Edna willing to move mine to run there.

Flyin34 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Think there are already pure stocks with steel passenger floor pan and full firewall that have decking from B post back. Just gotta weigh 3400. Not positive but pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm002 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 not sure but I was told locals to that track would be upset if I was allowed to run there so I wanna know if anyone would be against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ks2290 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Decking and longer roof. Only problem I foresee is if they allow one person then others will try and do it as well claiming well u let so and so do it why not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Usually a track will give you one night to run and they will point out issues that need to be addressed before running there again. There are factory stocks that aren't allowed decking that have the same amount as I do that's why it was built the way it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm002 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Don't worry though my car won't be there this year my dads car won't be there the family members that go with us won't be there and I won't go to watch when I can't race it's all good.

texana63 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Well the rules say the body needs to be stock appearing(which it is) doesn't say has to be Monte Carlo or any car specific. And the "decking" covers the same area as a trunk lid would be on a car. And the roof is longer because of the type of body it is. Pure stocks have rear percentage rule so you can't say he has more rear Percentage. The whole body is out of 20gauge steel. Don't see what the big issue is. Yes it's different but why be like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.j.&s.racing Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 i say then go get a wagon body and gut it .that's where all the hard work is.then to me it would be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the more cars the better. My dad has always wanted a wagon body just never found one and did the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I didn't catch the drift of this thread until now. Â One more time: Lone Star Speedzone is not the complaint department for any Texas short track or Texas-based racing series. If anyone has a problem with a particular ruling, please take it up with the track rather than in the forums. Â Thanks. Â Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm002 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 i say then go get a wagon body and gut it .that's where all the hard work is.then to me it would be legal. But why is it ok to build a minute Carlo body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaerRacing00 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 There is no clear answer...just like I questioned having the no skirt rule now it's removed...also about straight panels non tucked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arob Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Did you ,sm002,ever get an answer from the track? Looks to me if you weigh 3400 with 50% rear and dash is within 28" of back of hood and body is 22 gauge you might be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 texana 63 .cuz the rules state what you can and cant have .... we will bring our pure this weekend along with my other team mates who run emod and pure .lets just say I am going to put bat mobile style wings .and circle our tail pipes back through the hood . will that pass the rules .nope don't think so .but I could say why be like everyone else .that wont work either ..if the track lets this car run so be it ill be looking forward to the driver out on the track asking other drivers would it be ok does not really need to be asked though the question asked shows respect for other racers I wont or cant knock the driver for asking but would have been better off letting the track deal with it ...

texana63 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Would be nice to let the track deal with it but they won't answer back, it's like that track doesn't want anyone down there they don't want. I'm not trying to bash anyone but if two tracks are ok with it around this area and the car is not dominating it's crazy to me why a track won't give him a chance.

sm002 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yes I got an answer that's why I asked if locals are against it cause I was told track doesn't have an issue locals will have an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cperry115 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 guys, the car does not meet the body rules and I believe Ted Hamm race director has addressed it with the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
