Sounds like Lucas is implementing the droop rule.

The most interesting thing in all of that is that Hoosier is working on the same tires for everybody. Get ready for UMP tires for literally everybody in 2023.
Universal body rules would help everybody an the same tire for everybody would be even better.
We had universal body rules 20 years ago. The problem is they weren't enforced and just like government overreach, they now think a droop rule is a body rule.
Those benefits go into sams Virginia slim fund……..
Remember Steve Francis coming in and saying changes in these bodies were coming ? Well that never happened because nobody ever followed thru with tech on anything. Be interesting to see what changes they make, I for one think it's going to be minimal at best. There's a lot of new cars being built with 2021 body work. As for Hoosier and tires you know the blame is going to be on raw materials and supply shortage. It may be the only way they can supply the demand.
As a whole this is good, no matter what you think of certain parts of the rules. The only issue I see is I wonder how long this will last before someone has the pull to get one sanctioning body to deviate from the others.
Remember the late model COUNCIL? That lasted one whole voting session and that vote was overturned by a single company over outlawing something they had for sell. The council was never heard from again.
The noses i seen yesterday still looked like snow plows. They're already on step ahead 🙄
outside of a guy having to set up for the droop rule in some series, I wasn't aware that a late model couldn't go run anywhere, as they were. So, we're taking the dumbest rule and making everyone do it. I do like the idea of unified tire rules, though..its crazy how many compounds are essentially the same but cant be used because the number is different.
It didnt take long for this plan to fall apart
One guy wants to be a hero.
Never mind, I see his post on it now.
Seems as though the only issue is they should've came up with an agreement on a date that changes need to be done by.
They probably shouldve made the rule book for '23 to begin with. Several guys have their cars ready for next year already. I do find it strange the newest rocket cars that we have seen appear to be built to the new body rules that was just released not even a week ago.

After a conference call today, big formal announcement coming for our ENTIRE sport of dirt late model racing. I’m so glad we’re all in agreement. Can’t make everyone happy all the time but being on the same page is a huge start / huge day for our sport.
I'm not a chassis builder.. dont claim to know anything about building a Late Model.. just curious why the right front tire is so far offset. What would happen if the right front was close to inline with the right rear?
where can you find these universal rules? Going to be finishing up my body next week.
Chris Tilley should work on his purse through the field before anything else
Who didn't anticipate this ? If it wasn't XR it would have been some other group. XR doesn't have the top racers to back it up. Lucas and WoO hold all the aces. If they can come up with a common set of rules most others will follow.
Sounds as if 2023 is going to be a BIG change coming. Which makes sense.
So the one thing that will save racers a ton of money (TIRES ) set aside until 2023 , But the rule to be enforced immediately , the one that won't save anything will be . And we asked the question about supply and demand . Are you making tires now . No was the answer and that they will be
over $ 200.00 dollars each . Go figure .
