I would reign in costs with these engines first. No wide bores, put a cubic inch and compression ratio limit on them. The shock prices, idk what could be done there...

It starts with limiting available traction and downforce, then the cost will take care of itself. The much ballyhooed, "wedge late model" was nearly the exact issue, too much traction, engine cost got stupid, so they went to "Small Body rules" and dirt late model exploded with growth. We have the same issue today due to rule creep, partiality and ignorance.

The first step I think is to implement a body height rule max, no whop sided mounted nose, 6 inches(could be more, could be less) from ground max, all the way across. Same for right side. Instead of a complete slab side on right, make the rear section taper in on left & right the same equally. If you can hinder the aero advantage they lose traction and need less HP and thus negates the need for a wide bore engine. The idea is to make running the car FDAU undoable because the nose will dig into the track and tear it off, so they have to stiffen the RF back up. Then if your not dropping the nose and using bumps and so forth, you lessen the need for the high dollar shock setups. Also limit them to 1 shock per wheel, period. Supers can still be supers, but if you want them to thrive and be healthy some changes need to happen. Besides higher speeds don't usually make for better racing, usually the opposite. JMO

Spot on Maverick

[westlingracing]

Maverick has it right. My first car was a Rayburn wedge car. We are pretty much back there now! I have said for a long time we need to get back to the mid to late 90s body rules.

I will ask all of you bench racers a simple question. WHAT 1, ONE, RULE WOULD LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD IN SLM COMPETITION ? remember just 1.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Easy. Bodies

Nothing could truly level the playing field. The smart drivers with money will always be faster.

The 1 thing that started all these aero bodies was the lr shock behind.

$350 engine claim....

After I get my MB running I'm going to buy a Rayburn and Bloomquist just to show you guys I can lose in anything....

The point of racing isn't to level the playing field. The point is he who has the fastest car wins.

[TurboTurtle17]

He always did Erb his Rayburns...You're right, I remember hearing he Erb'ed that one up too.Still a Rayburn tho.

Yes sir still is a rayburn! I miss seeing him in a Rayburn! Not sure why but I do...

Swing arms are good on rough tracks not so much slick tracks.

Thats the sterotype. Now days, you can get bolt on stuff in enough flavors to make dynamic wheel loading anything you desire. If you know what works, the swingarm can be made the same.

Schlenk wins again. This time at Peoria. 2nd to Doug Drown at Attica last night.

Early UMP National point lead? Wouldn't surprise any one.
