the end of template body racing ?

[JUST-IN-TIME]

body

i would much rather spend $2600 on an abc body rather than $300 and make my own also $7500 for trans and clutch as opposed to $1500 for a bert without drag racing starts and definatly need radio and mirrors for safety although dirt cars don't need them neither do outlaw cars but they are good for blocking or having daddy drive from the stands. make racing more user friendly with no abc nascar wanna bee bodies let us quit the drag race restarts which will end the over priced transmission needs.let us build our motors the same as these stroker sealed motors. motor rules like michigan there are none

outlaw bodies

ABC bodies, are 100% the way to go. You may be able to buy the sheet metal for an outlaw body for 300.00, but then you have a pile of sheet metal!

How many of the late model racers have the know how, to build and mount a competitive wedge/outlaw body? And when I say competitive I mean there is an art to building one of these bodies.

You can pretty much go anywhere in the country with the ABC rule package and race. Anytime you can streamline the rules to be the same all over the place, it is a plus for racing.

From my other post, this is the same reasoning behind me personal belief that running the Hoosier tire at all the track in Florida is a plus for racing also.

I do not race now, and have no involvement with any teams, I just love racing, and love going to the races, and want to see the sport thrive. I was involved in the sport for 20 plus years, and have seen all of this before.

Just my opinion, Vince P. "trying to save racing, one post at a time"

$300 aluminum outlaw body with a sheet of Lexan for the roof/windshield. Me, Dad, and my brother, Scott, designed and built this body ourselves in our driveway. Drill out a few rivets at a time, take one panel off at a time and beat it back out with a rubber mallet on a concrete driveway every week. Granted...this was 1986-1988...
