Base Weight Rule 3100 lbs. + 200 lbs. in allowances = 3300 lbs. is your new min. weight

 

We reserve the right to eliminate any gray area rule that is exposed by a competitor at any time. Ask before you do it could say you alot of time and money. 2014 rule package should allow drivers some flexibility. It levels the playing field for those that don't want to upgrade or run certain parts vs the driver's that do. We believe this will make for a much easier way of teching cars prior and after races. We hope our effort pays off for everyone involved in the series as we strive to making the shootout bigger and better every year! Rules are out early this year for your benefit. We will continue to review any neccessary rule adjustments to make the best possible rule package for all involved.

Just curious if were still running the shoot out rules for the rest of the season??

[DirtRacer9s]

Question. In this post it says no tubular front or rear clips allowed. In the Street stock shootout forum it doesnt say this, it only says no tubular front clips. We are building a street stock and we have already installed the tube rear from the the front clip back. Are we illegal for this series?

Yes I know a few others in the same boat...they will be sitting out along with us next year on the tube rear chassis

[Danielsen Motorsports]

This was brought up yesterday. Leaf Spring revision has been updated. Thanks for the heads up wade and cletus15.

You are good as long as its a leaf spring rear suspension. Thanks for your question.

[Jones41]

Thanks for clearing it up Stephan. I only read the shoot out forum didnt see that until cleedus pointed it out.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

No problem we are clearing up small little details but trying to do it early so people have more then enough time to get ready. Please anyone has questions or need any clarifications email me or pm me otherwise i will return any calls as i can. Thanks....

Do the 10" tires help that much? My purestock engine meets all of the rules for engine package a. I was thinking about putting some 10" tires on and running it with yall in December.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

Well our two time champion has been on 8inch both years. I think there is an advantage for 10 inch on loose greesy tracks but when it Texas do we have that? Usually only under certain circumstances. However we do have from time to time fantastic runs by guys on 10 inch stuff. Race #1 was won by #75$ Bo Beckner and he is on them. So I guess it depends on who you ask if that helps any.

[arob]

Seems to me if you are going tubular you are getting away from "stock" into something higher.Just a fan observation. Good work by the Street Stock Shootout folks to try to even things out.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

With novas and cameros its pretty hard not to build it tubular to some degree because they were never a true full frame to begin with but I know what your saying. Its something that has to be policed like everything else.

[arob]

Thank you for your reply

i would ask local track you run at if you race in streetstock would it have any affect on racing pure again many folks are leaning toward this bein a beginner class on what class you race not by cost of class oe experience,. jmo

[DirtRacer9s]

My local track shut its doors at the beginning of this year.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

clarified shock and body rules alittle better. Let me know if a rule isnt clear or needs to be spelt out better.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

We have listed all the legal factory transmissions. Also listed are all the legal gears they come with.

[Flyin34]

Need to amend the rule where front leaf spring perch has to be factory mount if you are going to allow tube rear clips

[Danielsen Motorsports]

We have altered the body rule a bit. For any car running stock panels, including hood, trunk and roof you will receive a weight break rather then penalize those running sheet panel or after market bodies. We feel this would be more fair way to level the body rules.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

After careful discussion and learning what is becoming available in the shock industry we have massaged the shock rules for 2014. We still are allowing alot of shocks we are now just more clear on what is exceptable and what will require a weight penalty. Please review.

 

We have clarified a few additional items in the rear suspension area as well. Also refer to allowances and those additions as well. Please review.

 

We will be concentrating on motor loop holes and gray areas over the next few days. Stay tuned for any possible adjustments there as well.

[Danielsen Motorsports]

Lets make sure everyone understands the 2014 rules are simplifying what we are currently running under from a series standpoint. We are not asking anyone to upgrade or have to change parts. As a matter of fact you may find the rules benefit most more then ever due to the weight penalties that some will be taking on due to how their car was built and the type of parts being used. Get a good grasp of the base rules and then read the Allows that require the adding of weight. You might end up with your car being able to run up to 300 lbs lighter then others. From a track standpoint if a track adopts our rules it allows a track to pull cars from other tracks on rainouts and off weeks. Again drivers are not having to change anything but if they want to they can with a few weight penalties. A racer with these rules have more options then ever before also with the most possible cars. Regardless what some my feel good or bad for anything to work we have to consider the best options for tracks to get better car counts on their normal nights. These rules do exactly that and will give the techmen one set of rules that they can enforce.

[RACER5]

Great job on everything Stephen and clearing up the rules we plan on bringing my car out next weekend to sts and the car I was starting for sas I'm going to make another street stock for dirt and it's a tubed rear clip so this helps thanks again
