The current rules might as well say "what ever you can cram into the trailer without too much disassembly"... whoever can start building trailers with wider opening will have a huge advantage on the field

Ok here is the plan....... it will definitely work....... we have to convince Mark Richards that his bodies don't have as much downforce as everyone else.... only then will rules start to magically get written and enforced!
You're gonna get banned with talk like that.
Zero25 what does it matter that the guys dad is or isn't loaded. We were talking about how the body looked beside that He built a car from scratch and it has proven to be competitive. I don't care who you think you are or where your money comes from. Anyone who doesn't admire/ respect that doesn't know their head from a hole in the ground. Especially in today's world. The amount of work that goes into designing and building a chassis is a huge undertaking and to have it be competitive enough to qualify for a lucas or woo event out of the box is a huge achievement. Hell lanigan can't even copy one and make it competitive!
Bayko,
I took it to mean billet was saying that Kirkpatrick wasn't out there dropping wallets like Lance Landers to make a Lucas show. I don't think he was commenting on family fortunes.
I mean, it’s entirely possible that he cones from big money that chooses not to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a hobby.
Exactly right Josh.........My point was he has some access to the family fortune. He was sent to school to get a degree to enhance the family's fortune in the restaurant franchising business, but chose to get a degree in engineering! Kudos to him for that. Their parent company has spent millions in the past on racing sponsorships!
What is the parent company’s name if you don’t mind the wuestion?
Anyone have a picture of this body that meets the rules?
So all of you or your hero's are in a long steady line to buy $40000 plus rollers from the usual suspects (Rocket, Longhorn, etc) and then a guy comes along and builds his own chassis for a fraction of that and less than what you can even buy a used "Name brand" chassis and the first thing you do is start talking about how much money his family has? BRILLIANT!!!
Nobody will question the body until it wins. You can run 10th or worst and cheat for years..........nobody cares. You win, different story.......been there............seen that.

I did pull that post, I admit, because I didn't know for sure. But some of them boys running go carts have the same amount of money as guys running Latemodels. There is no doubt about it. Don't forget machine shops in the haulers.
