This is just my interpratation from reading into the rules. Lots of grey areas from track to track. Im sorry for all the dots. I could not attach my document and then could not get this message to lay out without the dots.........pain in the but. This is the best I could do.

Very clear, & great comparison chart.

They look pretty close after all, perhaps.

Nss

Seems to have the best set of rules for the mod class. Steel shocks, 50# for fab clips, stock steel brakes. Things that keep us from being late models. The other differences they have i just dont get. But o well.........

Doug,

>Can you get from Showtime to NSS with more offset in the wheels and a second hole in the motor mount support?

>No mention of traction control. I assume it is illegal everywhere...if detected.

>Showtime = template bodies?? Talk about late-model-ish. What do the bodies look like?

[openwm53]

oldschool

Lol yes traction control is supposed to be illegal. The NSS rules you speak of are minimum rules. Which means i can run higher motor just not lower and i can be narrower. The Body template thing is something they put in the rules this year to keep them the same. only two tracks have them posted. I think they are the IMCA body templates.

I will say that I kinda disagree with the cookie cutter body. I think its better for the fans to see all sorts of body differences. Yes aero is imprtant but at the end of the day they are modifieds.
