WildRacer5 Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 When I asked someone about it they told me that it was a "cost saving" measure. If they want to cut cost make the motors in pure stock completely stock like a Road Runner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcleaver17 Posted June 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 That is a prety good point about the motors. In my opinion, I think rear and front hoops should be optional. What do you think? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildRacer5 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 I'm the type of person that thinks that anything that you can do to keep the cars safer should not be optional. As I stated before there are plenty of other ways to cut cost on a "Beginer" class. First would be the motors as stated above and the biggest cost saving move would be to eliminate the "track" tire rule. As with most of my post these are just my Two cents.

jcleaver17 Posted June 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Tell ME..someone...On A Purestock racecar, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THE TIRE MAKE?....It seems to me that it makes no difference what so ever.. And THR says they want the pure stock to be cheaper....well....$350 does not sound cheap to me for tires. when you can go and get some used tires for around $100 that will do the SAME job.......Srry but im just ranting.

Kathy Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Have you looked on the web site at the rules for the pure stock class. I am not sure if it will answer your question, but it is a place to start. I have not heard back from Jack yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA-Motorsports Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Anybody know what is the best gear to run at THR for the pure stock class. I believe the 1982 LTD came with 3.55 as its highest gear ratio option. I am going to try and get the car out to the track asap, so the 302 will have to stay this season; with a 351 in mind for the future. How much are those Hoosier tires for a set of 4?

dancer52 Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Merideth, the tires might last longer and be faster.. but a street tire is cheap, can come with a road hazard, and a lot of people can get tire sponsers... I also believe front and rear loops should be allowed, ask a promotor after a wreck that bends the frame how much money he saved you...this would allow the cars to last longer and save alot in the long run, I have a car that has raced over 10 years, bet it would not be here without front and rear loops..
