Car cover penalty in Lucas Oil

[luke81]

I'm going to guess that since last night was not a points race this rule wasn't enforced, because there were plenty of covers in the pits when I was walking around. I'm not really sure I totally get the rule, but whatever. It's easy to NOT cover the car, it doesn't cost you anything to NOT cover it, and as so many already posted here there is a limit to the info that can be gathered anyhow.

Yep.....or just side curtains hanging down from the lift gates on each side to keep the "dust" out of the hauler.

Sounds like they also implemented a tire rule at East Bay that is doing just that. Not a huge Lucas fan but I commend them on that. This sport needs to be more attainable to more people if we ever want car counts to grow.

Thanks,

What was/is the tire rule? Its not the same rule they came up with at the Big test session at Florence at years in a couple seasons ago. You know the one that was going to save racing by forcing you to buy thier special tire?

Tires were not the set of rules I was really talking about.

The world doesnt revolve around Bloomer. This has been a common rule everywhere for years. It helps make things self policing. They are also not going to allow you to rope off your pit area.

I didnt say that it revolves around Bloomquist, but everybody on here knows who this rule is targeting more. Why does this sport have to be self policing when Lucas has a staff and thats suppose to be their jobs is to police the series. If it was me I would just have someone on my team make sure that nobody gets close enough to my car to be able to see anything. To me that just makes it harder for fans to have interaction with their favorite drivers. I guess Lucas is trying to follow in the footsteps of NASCAR and we all know how that has turned out.

Not afraid of anything. If you're Bloomer or Lanigan or whoever, if you found a little something, why should you have to leave it in plain sight for the world to see? It's your dam car. Let the tech guys see it, everyone else, do your homework.

CnB i agree 100% with that statement, why should anyone have to show their secrets if they have found any. If its illegal then the tech staff should find it and do something about it.

some of those guys don't need to eat chili dogs

I find the irony in this post to be incredible.........


But you do have a point chief!!!

yep cheaters will always ssthats the way it is , I would say one tire rule the hardest sob made like they did years ago

Translation?

One tire rule never going to happen with The Purple Mafia in charge.

[plunks7]

All 3 months of meetings and this is the only rule change they could come up with?

[plunks7]

Worried about covering cars while there's car roofs angled enough to ramp a motorbike over Earl's pond.

No kidding!

That would be the worst rule ever made! Cars need to handle so the drivers can search for a groove to pass the competition. Look at Eastbay. Harder tire than usual and not designed for the track conditions, leading to poor racing.

[plunks7]

Sounds like their using IMCA tires.

so I guess what=y your saying they are not professionable to run a one tire rule but regional guys that run MARS and MLRA can that fiqures and its flipping East bay where the tide dictates how the track will shape up

Stick to your keyboard, the tide has nothing to do with whats going on down there. Theres a lot more to it than just the durometer reading of a tire.

[plunks7]

seems funny the hall famer bob pierce would differ with you

Ah that would be a capital B please. Thanks

What do you consider soft? Hoosier 1300's are by far not the softest.
