Lucas rules

[racerb12]

What do u think Lucas oil, drug checking your drivers for safety or bolting a wheel cover on.

[W2Racing09]

Yes they are. We were told that we might not be legal and have to send it back down to have it SFI rated...

Was that before they announced that they had relaxed the SFI Requirements for this season? As I understood it was only needing to be full containment.

The drivers you are saying don't have $40k cars, are they not SLM? I don't often see All Alumnimum motors selling for under $20k, and a nice roller newer than 2013 is probably going to cost in the area of $20k as well all said and done. I don't think the $40k number is that ridiculous ($100k which is what some of the National guys are spending on the other hand...). I do know that there are a lot of guys running in less than a $40k car too, its not ideal and I think after the changes they made the rules make more sense. I don't think going from no rules one season, to restrictive rules the next is necessarily the best way to do things and I'm glad they changed it.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Aren't ISP seats full containment? If so they're legal..If not bolt on a $200 kit and go race.

Ever think of having a axle tube made of tungsten carbide?

I'm sure someone has but it seems to me it would be a waste of money when you could achieve the same effect with bolt on weight. It'd be a helluva lot easier to move the weight around for different track conditions bolted on instead of forged into an axle tube... Once again, why bother making a rule on this when a cheaper equivalent solution is available? The heavy axles and the wheel spacers I understand better than bothering with an exotic axle tube, because they are easy to swap out for dampening engine torque in the slick.

I heard there doing something w rear axle tube or something to that effect.

Why do they keep insisting on chasing the Boogey-man? He doesn't exist and the rule book is getting fat & stupid while they grope around in the dark trying to grab him... "MARCO!"

The boogie man checks for chuck Norris under his bed before going to sleep every night.....just sayin.

[Stede Bonnet]

Don't be so sure. Lr unsprung weight is the new boogyman like traction control was 15 years ago.

There wont be much rule change. That was only to get control of the #6 car. There will be another rule change when the NEW SHERRIFF gets a hold of the #0 car.

I would expect more funny, easily-circumvented rules to come from this. Especially if you believe in the weight advantage and have tens of thousands to burn.

Much discussed axle tube weight clamp

To the few blaming Landers injury on his safety equipment, the doctors say it had no factor in it. http://www.onedirt.com/features/jare...health-update/

Great. My argument is with escapability and concussion related injuries, I believe Landers had a torn Carotid Artery. Heard he's planning to return at Golden Isles.

While there has been some speculation in the racing community about the potential that the injury may have been created due to restricted movement because of his restraints, Landers quickly indicated that the doctor dismissed this potential.

“Again Mark and I point blank asked the doctor if my safety devices might have caused the injury, and the doctor immediately told me the devices had no factor in my injury. He basically said that this injury was created from the sudden stop and that with or without my head restraint I would’ve suffered this injury because of how violent the wreck was.”

So for those arguing his FC/HANS would've prevented this injury, the doc says "no". In that flip and impact he was getting this injury regardless, so no points for either side...
