I've noticed on FB he's been selling a ton of stuff. His new 2018 XR1, his hauler etc. What's up with that?

Another one bites the dust. Pretty soon SLM racing will be down to 5 or 6 big money teams and no one else.

That sucks to hear if he getting out slm. I hope he finds another career in different motor sport atleast. Rally or trophy track would fit his personality if he out slm

May nor may not keep his Late Model, but scaling back and likely getting a Modified to run regionally. Wants to focus on the family business for the foreseeable future.

The problem is racers thinking they are capable of running a national tour when they aren't. Since they have been around they have been made up of 10-12 teams with support from the regional teams at any given track on the tour. The model is still the same. If a business is run poorly, what happens? It fails and/or scales back. JMO

this is happening more and more as weekly supers fade, no where to run, and to travel takes cash and time, its hard to have both at the same time

Supers are going to be gone locally in the next 5 years completely. You will have a MAX of 50 teams and its everyones fault from the car builders to the shock guys to the engine builders. When there is only that many teams wait to see the price of everything.

At the end of the day the sanctioning bodies are the ones to blame. They could enforce rules that would keep costs down, especially with the bodies. Get rid of the huge noses, square off the bodies, get the body panels up off the ground, and slow them down. That would reduce costs and make the racing better.

The sanctioning bodies are 99% to blame for the increased cost. When they allowed the spread bore motors, the genie was out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in. All of the other technology in terms or aero and shocks that has come about is a direct result of hooking up that extra 150-200HP that the tires just weren't designed to be able to handle.

Nope. Racers are their own worst enemies when it comes to cost, and the part manufacturers are only feeding the demand set by the consumer. The only way sanctioning bodies can control costs is to spec parts (what IMCA has done to an extent), and then everyone b1tches about restricting innovation and ability to buy any part they want. Cost is a no win situation.

Fact 1: More rules NEVER decrease the cost of racing. Look at IndyCar. That is complete spec class and it is super expensive. Makes late models look like bombers from a cost perspective. And don't get me started on F1. Tons of rules and regulations. Tens of millions of dollars to even get a seat at the table.

Fact 2: Not enforcing rules ALWAYS increases the cost of racing. If you have rule that says, "no widgets", and you throw out any car with a widget on it, nobody goes and spends money on widgets. But if you allow one or two guys to run widgets because you don't want to tick them off, then EVERYBODY has to go buy widgets to be competitive.

What the late model sanctions have done is quite a force multiplier by continuing to ADD more and more rules while simultaneously continuing to NOT enforce any of the rules that they have. Hell when was the last time you even saw something as simple as engine setback measured at the track. It's complete incompetence from the top down. It grew too big too fast with a lot of mismanagement the entire way. The sport hasn't had a real visionary at the top since Bob Memmer. Everything since then has been a series of carnival barkers. And this "council" that they created which consists only of people who stand to PROFIT by separating racers from their money is an absolute joke.

You have to have SOME rules but if you don't enforce them, adding more rules is stupid. And that's exactly what they continue to do. K.I.S.S. But they don't so we will all be kissing late model racing goodbye if someone doesn't step up with some serious leadership and leave everyone's' egos in the dust.

People with money are always going to buy $60,000 motors to win $1,200 weekly races. That will never change and there's no way to fix that. The sanctioning bodies can help control that though.

The costs for SLM is so over the top ridiculous, there is no way any normal middle class person can keep up. Even with decent sponsorship, it’s just off the charts expensive. Not enforcing rules will kill any type of racing. The tracks and sanctioning bodies are paying for it now. Racing is hard enough and takes years to “figure it out” if your a newbie, much less not enforcing rules. They get discouraged and quit. Thus have fewer enter the sport and it dies. Everyone loses. It sucks. It’s going to end up like pro sports....there will be 30 big name teams and that will be your SLM . They will travel around and put on a show. Provided there’s any tracks left to have a show. Sad.

Matt, you are spot on. It never makes sense to add more rules when you don't enforce the written rules you already have. For Promoters it's a double edge sword. You enforce the rules you piss some off and you potentially lose some drivers, you don't enforce the rules you potentially lose some drivers but, I believe you should enforce the rules.

here is the biggest problem with super lates, they are by far the most complex and engineered race car in motorsports, and that was said by a top engineer (f1, nascar, trophy truck guy)
and now that rumley fired the first shot, the top guys have picked up the pace, and i don't see any of that going away, even if they have rules enforced, or make new ones
so if your not willing to work and learn all of this stuff you'll fall behind quicker have to pay to keep up (and thats what most do) this game has become a never ending hunting trip

I agree.

I know of one engineer that has been in the sport since at least 2001. He came from Nascar and was working with the 2001 world 100 winner, the next year he moved on to another driver who won the world that year. Even after being told "you guys can't beat me". This engineer brought some knowledge to an area of the car that is still a big expense today.

The difference I have seen over the last 35 years is tech inspections. I know I'm exaggerating some by saying this, but it's almost as if it looks like a racecar it is allowed to race. Man, it used to be a big feat to get something by the officials, now it's like they look with their eyes closed, if they look at all.

I don't see any of it changing as long as there is inheritance money, big insurance and lawsuit settlements & big business involvement.

So who's gonna call Lewis Hamilton and Sebastien Vettel and tell them to "step up" their games, "step out" of the technoligically inferior world of Formula 1, and "step into" the most advanced race machine on the planet...the Dirt Late Model!?!?

Seriously...we all love our little world of DLM, but to try to compare a rocket, longhorn, or bloomer car to the Mercedes or Ferrari F1 machines in terms of which one is more complex.....c'mon. All because one Nascar guy said so.

Anyone watch the Lewis Hamilton/Tony Stewart deal at Watkins Glen a few years ago??

They turn laps in the other's car.
Hamilton jumps into Stewart's Cup car, buckles up takes off, and turns faster laps then Tony did.

I find F1 racing boring to watch, but to say those cars are not complex....I can't buy that one, sorry.

Think only reason he believes it more complex he don't understand late model because he don't have a computer sending information back to trailer while racing or some guy making millions to get information to set the car for him. Someone has be pure fool believe sdlm are the most complex cars in the world of racing.

Yes and No. While the chassis guys, the shock guys and the engine guys keep coming up with more and more expensive pieces, they are only responding to the demand of their customers. The customers keep demanding more because Sanctions and track operators left the proverbial gate open 20 years ago and the bull has been roaming free ever since, wreaking havoc and destroying things. We had plenty of rules back then, if enforced and with a few tweaks could've kept things more in check and stable. It is the responsibility of sanctions and track owners to keep and eye on the health of the sport, they dictate how level or UN-level the playing field is. It is a racers duty, his purpose, his obligation to seek ways of becoming faster within the rule structure set forth by sanctions and tracks, so lets put the blame where it goes. For decades I've watched tech men locally and nationally let things slide, inch by inch, only striking down the most gross offender. We don't need a bunch of new strict rules, just some reasonable ones enforced that un-hook the cars. If we un-hook the cars the need for 900HP goes away and the costs will come down in the engine area. If we make it where the cars no longer hike up then a lot of the aero expenses go away. Yes racers will have to come up with some new different approaches to try and regain lost performance, but that's okay, we just need to make the money they spend less effective. Less traction equals lower cost.


At the end of the day the sanctioning bodies are the ones to blame. They could enforce rules that would keep costs down, especially with the bodies. Get rid of the huge noses, square off the bodies, get the body panels up off the ground, and slow them down. That would reduce costs and make the racing better.
Yes, we are in complete agreement.


The sanctioning bodies are 99% to blame for the increased cost. When they allowed the spread bore motors, the genie was out of the bottle and there is no putting it back in. All of the other technology in terms or aero and shocks that has come about is a direct result of hooking up that extra 150-200HP that the tires just weren't designed to be able to handle.

Its is a racers job to seek more speed, its the nature of racing, but rules can be tailored to make that money less effective.

Rumley didn't fire the first shot and DLM's are about as crude a design right now as they have ever been. The original "Wedge" cars were far more sophisticated than the collection of crutches and band aides today's DLM has become. Hanging large junks of aluminum on an axle with a plethora of holes isn't a triumph of engineering. Running around hiked up on (2) solid rods pushed over onto a solid bump and rolled up on a solid bar is an engineering joke, even Rumley himself said if he designed a DLM from scratch his way today, he wouldn't put the suspension under it they run today. He only made the Longhorn better than it was, NOT what he knew was best. Customers want 4 links all jacked up, so that's what they build and sell them. Nothing more.

Cage I agree, how do we get these guys to follow suit? See back before Moyer and these guys became who they are, the sport was bigger than any one racer...back in day a Belle Clair and Highland they had a cubic inch rule, shock rule, open rearend rule. The winner got tore down every nigh pretty much point blank period. I know this dont apply to open motor late models but just giving an example..and they need to unhook the cars to the point that 900hp would be more of a hindrance than advantage, therefore eliminating the need. They will still be fast with 750 hp...

But they don't so we will all be kissing late model racing goodbye if someone doesn't step up with some serious leadership and leave everyone's' egos in the dust.You couldn't get through the first sentence without being wrong! Hahaha! This is why I quit racing, you're a bunch of idiots. Rules absolutely can make racing cheaper if done right and actually enforced. What are you going to tell me next? You're a Democrat socialist? Next you're gonna tell me capitalism doesn't work as and REAL communism has never been tried. Roflmao

Did you not read Matt's post. He said just enforcing the rules they already have would help keep cost down not having more rules. Like he said having more rules does not by itself reduce the cost of racing. You can have 100 pages of rules but, if you don't enforce them as written why have them so, no we're not a bunch of idiots we just understand the problem.

If Culp is scaling back to run mods and be with family more, kudos to him. Some things are more important than racing.

Yes racing is expensive but another thing to remember is that for many guys racing a late model at a national level means getting beat badly 95% of the time and traveling days out of the week. Racing locally in the midwest means modifieds (just not many late models here and have not for 2 decades). However these guys racing locally can win 10+ a year, enjoy it and be home every night with the family. Regardless of cost and personal income it is hard to put 50,000 miles on a rig to get your head caved in nightly, knowing that if you stayed home you would be the man.
