Rules

Thats how modified engine rules have been for as long as I can remember. 7lbs per Cubic inch, No dry sump or aluminum blocks, and 50 lbs in front of the flywheel for aluminum heads.

I was working on them the other day but ran out of time to finish them. planing on going to the shop tomorrow and hope to finish them then. Only a few things to add what i have done so far is in red type. Will be adding body rules tomorrow and changing the date on them.

Rick have you any talks with Ricky Brooks, It sounds like he is close to your rules its just not in writing as of yet.

Tires

So Rick, according to the rules as long as the back of the car is 66 (rule x) I can bow the body out forward from the rear, ( like a dirt car) and have the body 1 inch wider then the tires, (rule w), and I'll be fine right? Not trying to argue or anything but when I show up with something that you guys printed that you really didn't read right I don't want a argument.

You got me on that one, guess i over looked the inside part of rule W. I have sent Ronnie a message that W should be corrected as to atleast one inch of the rear tire must be visible from the Top, Side and back of the car.

RULE X: 66" MAX, 53" MINUMUM, SAME FRONT AND BACK

RULE W should just be deleted for Asphalt cars, When have you ever seen the right side tires all the way in the quarter panel?

Tread width

RULE X: 66" MAX, 53" MINUMUM, SAME FRONT AND BACK

RULE W should just be deleted for Asphalt cars, When have you ever seen the right side tires all the way in the quarter panel?

I was thinking about that exact same thing, with SARA we stated the left rear had to be visible from the top, side and rear off the car.
With the 78" Tread width rule and MAX of 66" body width front and rear it would leave 12" of the tires that would have to be seen. So unless im wrong I dont see anyway possible way to have both tires tucked in under the body panels. Correct me if im wrong.

Rick have you talked to any other tracks beside Desoto about these rules.

Thanks Doug
