fascar rule change !

[straight up]

here we go again , another middle of the season rule change ! all divisions tires must be inside fenders , no exceptions ! except for modified tires cannot go past the nerf bars . good rule for safety but not everyone who this might affect can afford to make changes . some may have to spend a couple grand to re-body their car . better to implement this rule for the 2010 season give the guys who cant afford it right now time to come up with the cash . the new rule is on the new smyrna website . with the way the economy is right now you would think they would want to save the racers money not find more ways to get them to spend more . i bet the payoff isnt going to go up to help out !

Who's bright idea was this? None of it makes any sense to change rules half way through the season unless they want to run everybody off or it is safety issue. From what I can see of car counts lately, they are doing a good job at it. And we are one of them that have left because of the way I was treated by an official who had no business butting in on something that had nothing to do with them. I just went through the pictures of feature winners and some of Super Stocks had their tires sticking out but so did the Legends and Bandeleros. This means if we want to come back we have to buy new wheels with a different offset. Spending more money for us to race at a FASCAR track is not what we want to do. Guess we are not wanted back ever...

Yeah, I am gonna go out and spend 100's of dollars on new wheels and time re-scaling the car, or fixing the body so I can race. I don't f---ing think so, I will race some place else. Maybe at the end of the season these changes can be made, makes sense then.

This is something they seem unable to stop doing each year. I know they pulled it on the Sportsmen Series in 06 the first year they owned them. This would be the time to tell drivers of the changes to the rules that will happen NEXT YEAR! Not NOW in the middle. But what do we know?

and some of Super Stocks had their tires sticking out but so did the Legends and Bandeleros.

Mini-Stocks as well, i think.

i don't know if the wheels that they made me buy ( because they won't allow the factory rims ) for the Probe will be illegal or not but it hardly matters to me.

should i even ask? probably not.

[Todd McCreary]

is there anyone who has an explanation as to why this rule change is so urgent? was there some spectacular wreck i missed or what?

[rhinoracing11]

you might think of moving to super stock division at VCS.
Why did they let a stock division start letting tires get out that far anyways?
there must be clarifacation to the rule.

[Boneman]

A little explanation from FASCAR is in order.

Will this be enforced?
If so, when does it start?
Why the urgency? Is it something from the insurance company, or does it just look cool light brake lights?

geez you "Guys" sure do get your panties in a wad for no reason.

last time I was at a fascar track (few weeks ago) the only division i saw with their wheels sticking out past the body was modifieds.

But hey, maybe therules have gotten so out of hand since ive been gone that the superstocke now look like modifieds.

come on guys im sure fascar is going to disqualify every one of you because the wheels stick out 1/4 inch past the fenders of your superstock or sportsman


ps. there's a bunch of whiners on this board

Junior Hanley's car is well within the rules...

maybe the next rule change affects late models , causing them to spend a bunch of money . might sing a different tune . unless you got a rich daddy changin ur diapers .

I got news for all of you, if you can't afford to buy 4 rims you all need to sell your cars and take up knitting!

I used to bend more than 4 rims a season.

My cars NEVER had the wheels outside the body. Well, maybe the 1/4" thing.

I will not defend why they changed the rule, maybe it was safety. That i could agree with if i could find a copy of the tape of Mike Todd taking out the flag stand at OSW back in 93' i believe because he and another car banged wheels the same time he hit the wall and his Limited Late model went STRAIGHT UP!

Major rule changes i can see a complaint but some of the whining i read about rules, payout, tire cost and so on...the economy........I knew when i raced i was going to spend somewhere between $100-$300 every weekend (without wrecking or major failure) i loaded the car up to race without a major sponsor, a rich daddy or knowing in advance what the payout was.

I was a racer and that's what i did every weekend.

When i can afford to again..i will do things again the exact same way.

PS. Dave, i didn't realize a camaro hood could be that flexible.....nice pic.

Part of the reason for this group of posts again, is because they always change rules in the middle of race season. If it's for safty then it's cool. But it's thing like a new company's tires you have to have NOW. That gets old. That's what the start of next season is for.

Blah, blah, blah, singing to the choir. Ok, you used to bend more then 4 rims a year and spend anywhere up to $300 a weekend. Where did that get you? Can't afford to race now! Point is, things are tough for almost everyone in this economy. Why spend MORE money then you already have too?
