Guest noclutch Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Mr. Holt, In your press release you have stated the ASA cars are Super Late Models where in fact they are closer to Limited Late Models. I think you may want to correct that, people want the truth, not deception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 My mistake. I have since changed the wording. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy47 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 IMO a limited late model is a car with a stock front clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Trey, I think that would be entirely dependent upon the rules of the particular sanctioning body in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacecar Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Just call it ASA Late Model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Just call it ASA Late Model. That's what I changed the wording to read. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTree Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 to me a late model is a body style that's late model,and limited or super depends on the Horse's under the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSEPOWER Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I think the ASA Late Models might be about .5 second off the super late model times. Though you should feel a big difference in the horsepower, it's not bad considering the price difference on the motor itself. I know times may differ, since all super late model series have their own set of rules. Not sure of the tire rule, but at the Snowball this past year the times of the super late models and the Pro Late Models were pretty close, some were even faster. Here are some track qualifying records that the CRA Series and the ASALM's race on. TRACK______________________________CRA_______________ASALM__ I-70_Speedway (.543)_________________16.297____________ 16.692__ IRP (.686) _________________________ 21.620____________ 22.333__ Kalamazoo_Speedway (.375)____________13.254___________ _13.770__ Baer Field Speedway (.500)_____________17.263____________ 17.765__ Mansfield Motor Speedway (.440)________ 15.729____________ 16.793__ Berlin Raceway (.438) ________________ 16.306____________ 16.714__ Illiana Motor Speedway (.500)___________19.020____________ 19.731__ Shady Bowl Speedway (.300)___________ 13.180____________ 13.490__ Rockford_Speedway (.250)_____________13.105____________ 13.569__ The Old ASA National Tour was about a second off the Super Late Model times. The SAS Late Models are also over a second off, a lot more different package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacecar Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The ASA LM weight minimum is 2700 lbs with driver. 58% left side weight. That's pretty light, and contributes to their fast times. Radial tires vs. bias ply tires. USRA SLM is 2875 lbs for 9 to 1 compression motors and steel-headed motors. CRA minimum weight ranges from 2800 to 2850 depending on motor combos. With the ASA LM being so light, their lap times should still be quick later in the race on worn tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HORSEPOWER Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Greg's Davidson's Limited Late Model came out third! Good run. Casey Smith was a rocket using that sealed engine, seems like the way to go. At the Snowball Clay Roger's and Bobby Gill finished in the top five using sealed engines and the only other one using a sealed engine was Landon Cassill. He was in third place with 20 laps to go, but got spun finishing 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotoddie Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Horsepower mentioned the 99 had a sealed motor, was it a crate from GM or a sealed motor from an approved builder for a series somewhere else. It was impressive to watch his consistency through the race and watching Chris D. move up through the pack. turbotoddie todd farris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) Todd, I remember Terry D. saying over the PA Saturday night that it was a McGunegill sealed Ford crate motor in Casey's SLM. Edited March 15, 2006 by Budman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noclutch Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 It was a sealed motor from an approved vendor, 590 horsepower. Nice to see Dickerson move on without HMP. He has dropped the bomb on October 21 with another ASA race. Just so happens, it is the same day as the Space City 125. Crap, cant watch both of them.

txtom Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 McGunegill makes an ASA spec ford engine, but they also make a Chevy engine. It is a 383 Stroker. This is the engine Casey ran Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
