Soooooooooooo...

Large Metric/Impala tube copy would be my guess.

Howe stuff has always been on or close to the money.

The only peeser will be if one builds a car to the rules and then others are allowed to run.

I guess that will be up to the tech inspectors to enforce...

Any mention of "adjustments" (slotted holes and etc)?

ps--NSS must like their 3 car field, and those 3 cars must like running at NSS.

Kind of a shame for those that like mods.

[ocalasp76]

Bronson is running something called e mods(yes, those from NSS). When invited I told them the e mod motor blew up and I no longer have an e mod motor. Their answer... no problem, just put a 2 barrel carb on it.
Sooo me thinks I will be back at NSS and make it a 4 car field(sarcasm here of course).
2 new safety rules for NSS and the OWM. 1/8 inch steel plate between fuel cell and rear gear. Fuel shut off valve, automatic, to stop fuel flow if pump broken or other problems. Done, easy fix.
See youse there...

Thanks Jim

I seen they were running E mods. I think they also have the regular mods as well ?

And yes the car counts from the recent past meant that no one gets turned away......no matter what they are doing.

Howe Chassis

Just got off the phone with Howe chassis. They have one stock front clip that was unloaded this week. It would be March before i could actually get it. It looks like the northern boys are running out of these clips. He called it the rust belt. lol

But what they are also doing is giving the option for fabricated. Camaro and big GM metric. So again these are two different animals............just saying

Doug,

I may know where a big metric car is in a junkyard in N central fl.

You would have to separate the clip from the rest of the car. Let me know if you want me to check...

On the other hand, would bet the tube clip would be lighter, if a little less strong.

[openwm53]

No worries

Thank you but I have several options now. I really just wanted to clarify for everyone including myself what was really going on and with the silence from the other end it is clear.

I simply want to race. And when I race against the next guy it would be nice if we had similar equipment. I can be just fine getting beat by someone out thinking, out working or simply out driving me. Hell ive beat myself more often than not.

Ive spoke to Yoho and Ronnie, Texted critter and the tracks I am interested in running well........the cats out of the bag and has been since the E B race.
I have friends with the fab clips and i truly hope it doesnt affect them. Its a shame that it was allowed and sold..........

I gave yoho the Johnson tech paperwork and hopefully we get the tech guys to take the blinders off and stop catering to individuals.

[Modowner]

Yoho has said that the wrong frame will not be raced at his track and he has a way to check for TC before and after the race in more than one way.

Big Metric Or Tube Clips

Open53 If You Need A Clip I Have Plenty I Will Sell You One If You Cant Find Any

[openwm53]

Thank you sir

I am still weighing options But will keep you in mind. Where's your shop ?

A stroll through the pits at the upcoming World Series at NSS might be a fun (and informative) little outing...

The tracks and tech men could simply post or implement a plan/rules and stick to it. I wonder if the NSS schematic of the allowable front clip has been posted ?

Nope, they have a modified race in approximately 3 weeks, and it still is not up

Here are the rules guys. We did not do a diagram because Ricky included the measurements in the rules. I sent them to our webmaster last Friday but they're not posted yet. If there are any questions please call Ricky. Thanks!
