North Georgia Speedway "2011"

2300 seems to be the standard everywhere. Wish NG was that way too.

the weight has been ok in the past whats the difference now ,you want to race with our rules then it is what it is till further notice .

[rick james]

the car weighs 2430 ready to race with no weight driver is 300# but he is a pretty good driver. car weight is 2400 lbs after race so 30lbs not to big of a deal 130 real big deal but if u dont have 15 to 30 min on saturday to bolt 100 lbs of lead on mabie u should find a hobby less time consuming

[rick james]

Boyds weight rule is 2300
Cleveland weight rule is now 2300
Tri County now runs on Friday nights also...

100 - 200lbs is "a lot" of weight to be bolting on....and probably "a lot" of cars that NGS is going to miss out on when it rains.....

if u are running a engine to the max of boyds rules then it is not legal for north ga.
if you run any head except a 200 cc head, then a tire that is not a spec 21 or a spec 55 at cleveland, guess where that puts u at. 2400 . if u are going to cheat by bringing a maxed out engine from boyds, might as well run a 406 then your weight at boyds is 2400, it is all ready illegal at nga so just sign in at 2400. if you are not legal it really doesnt matter does it?

??

90% of the cars at boyds weigh 2300lbs.

There is not a racetrack around here other than boyds that you can run anything bigger than a 362 that runs steel head only rules. Most if not all of the guys that were there last week don't just run boyds every week which means they are under 362 cubic inches. So yes those guys have to add at least a 100lbs to go race on saturday at NGS or they can go to Cleveland or 411 or crossville or even Dixie and many other tracks without having to change any weight. I'm just agreeing that if the weight was 2300 or 2400lbs which is standard a few more cars might slip off and run there some. Like someone said on a previous post that I was reading, Looking at car counts from last year, I'm not sure I would want a weight rule keeping any race teams from coming to race at my track. There already behind on the payout to start with.....Why not get all the cars you can get whenever you can?

2400 ant to bad but dont like the 2500

[thinker]

Senoia, Dixie, GVS, Cleveland are 2300 Lbs.

Talladega and Tri-County are 2350.

No Ga is the only not in line.

Can't even consider Boyd's because anything you want is legal under 362 cu in.

If you dont like the rules you dont have to come.
Yes it would be nice to race at 2300 . It would be nice to win the lottery too

[GRT32]

2300 is plenty enough weight, that 2500 pound rule is 20 years ago, thats is dangerous to pile that much lead on these cars today. pretty much everybody around is 2300 to 2350 and think i would stay in line with other tracks to try to gain some cars.

I'm with you 99.9% of the time, but that rule is costing you 3-4 cars a week I'm guessing. Thats about 12-20 people in the pits or roughly $400 a night. That's like having second place money paid by doing nothing.

Looking forward to getting down there as much as possible this year.

you are probably correct ,but its not my decision only a little .

Why dont you talk to Timmy and make him understand it is for the good of the track.

This is another one of those things that makes no sense just like doing away with the econo hobby if everyone else runs at 2300 why does N GA have to run different wgts I know cars will come from Dixie if it rains out but not if they have to add 150 to 200 pounds which will totally screw up your set up without rescaling your car with Millwood being a racer it looks like he would get everything in line with other tracks bottom line it is gonna cost some cars which I do not see them being able to do.

we had rain outs from other tracks last year ,and we didn't change the rules then either ..........

It would be nice if tracks would start using common sense.
