NickHolt Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think TALMS is posting most of his posts in the main forum section. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck99 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 OK, just for fun, let's talk about this: This year, TALMS implemented some pretty significant rules changes aimed at evening the field a little between the asphalt-built cars and the dirt-built cars. Primarily, the 56% max left side weight rule and the no bump stop rule. Curious if people think this was a good move and might have the desired effect, or will the asphalt cars still have their 2 to 3 tenths advantage? Not trying to stir up an argument by any means. I think Cody made a good decision with this that may ultimately slow his car down but hopefully make for some tighter racing throughout the field.

thrss1 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think the 56% rule will help some. In theory it should slow the cars down. Which In theory makes for better racing. Ill just be glad when mine is done so I can come play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCloser Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hey hey! We got some action here! With the 56% rule we're trying to make the field more even. Thus giving the croud and racers a better race. Also it will make a win all that much sweeter knowing you had to work to get it. As a promotor my goal is to have 10 different winners in 10 races. As a driver I don't like the 56% rule much lol. But in the end the 2014 TALMS Season will prove to be tge best aspalt racing Texas has seen in decades.

poorboy Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think it was a smart move but I don't think you will see any cars slow down much. My car only had 56.1 and I did not feel at all at a disadvantage. I honestly assumed that was about where everyone was. Joey Heinaman ran strong at CTS in my car and I qualified well at CC Speedway after not sitting in a race car in almost 2 years. I was only a tenth off the fastest qualifier and I had a car so loose that I could barely touch the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbarber19 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I don't have a dog in this hunt, but, as a fellow racer I commend Cody for making changes that he feels will bring cars to the track and be good for Texas racing in general. I support your efforts Cody and wish you and the TALMS series the best for 2014.. Chuck B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Isn't 56% a lot? I seem to remember helping my high school buddy in Florida and they had a 51% rule and would cite "safety" as to why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Most racing organizations that I am familiar with have a left side weight limit of 58%or less. Most of the time it doesn't go below 56% unless there is a penalty being imposed for some reason or other. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgould Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Forum may not be busy now but after first race I'm sure their will be some discussion. Everybody is too busy working on their cars to be playing around on computer. I guess I better get back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
