Lucas rules

[flagone]

Yes. And it has been a concern from insurance companies for the tracks for some time. There were multiple injuries reported and claims paid for injuries from spectators being hit by a wheel cover.

One of the things we discussed is that the current retro-fit kits that are being manufactured utilize the same bolts as the bead lock itself. So it will be somewhat convenient for tooling as well.

It was just a matter of time before insurance companies began to require this stuff OR more.

the main one i don't understand is the wheel cover hex bolt rule. Are flying wheel covers a low lying problem ive been oblivious too?

They can be dangerous, like a flying saw blade, if they come off on the track. I have seen it happen many times. I remember for a long time in our area Dzus fasteners on mud plugs were illegal but guys started running them again a few years ago and now virtually everyone uses them. I heard rumblings last winter that the WoO sprints were going in this direction but never saw any move, maybe this is the start of that. Not a bad idea, just makes removing them during a flat a little more time consuming.

Some of these things are bull(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) and are going to drive people out of the sport.

Seriously?????? Why won't you have "everyone" of these safety rules? not wearing gloves, no containment seats, etc. It makes no sense not to have these items.

All agreed to release at noon today

All of the series will adopt these rules. Since this announcement by Lucas, DirtCar and the Southern Nationals have announced they will also adopt these rules.

Keeping drivers safe while they race is not BS as you stated? If being safe keeps a driver out of the sport, then they have no business being involved anyways.

[Ryan21mid]

How so? They're looking out for the best interest of the drivers!

True, but rules that probably needed to happen
