    The ct525 is the easiest of all the crates to cheat up!!!! You aren't even allowed to protest one. That sure isn't the answer????? Quit worrying about motors and cut tire size in different classes. Put crates on 8" tire!

      Go to a 2500 lb weight limit. No adjustable gas shocks. Steel tube non adjustable shocks with a buy rule. seca has just outlawed the air shocks this is a move in the right direction. A spring rate rule would do away with the longhorns and xr1 or any car that runs off the right front. go back to the older cars with a conventional setup that doesn't take a engineer to figure out.

        Sounds like somebody needs a superstock. Oh wait no track has more than 10 of those because the fast guy is "cheating"

        Sometimes no matter how much you slow em down they still gonna be faster than you.

          They do cover them and they should cover them. They are the future of weekly late model racing.

            DOD should cover what makes them viable as an ongoing and profitable business. Entitlement seems to pop up in the most unexpected places anymore.
            I hate time trials.

              no DoD shouldnt cover them. I run limited late model and dont really care about whats going on with other lower class cars across the country. They already cover crate results under the weekly tab

                  Be careful with talk like that they frown on logic and sensibility.
                  I was a highwayman
                  Along the coach roads I did ride
                  With sword and pistol by my side
                  and I am still alive

                    "Do you fans want crates to put an end to SLM locally and weekly,
                    "

                    The cost of racing has already done that by itself so where have you been? My local track put up a $10,000 to win, unsanctioned SLM race earlier in the season and couldn't even draw a full field of 24 for that kind of money. And that was with a multi-state area from which to draw because of inactivity that weekend. I like supers more than most but have been reading the writing on the wall for quite a while now.

                      I understand most people would rather see a super race than a crate race. As for DoD, I would like to see them cover the sanctioned races (NeSmith, Fastrak, UCRA, etc.) with video of their features at least. Don't have to include the heats. Also, any $10k or more to win crate race would be interesting to see the video of as well.

                      I'm a crate racer... would absolutely love to run a super, but just don't have that kind of money or support to do it the way you need to in order to be competitive. I don't have the newest equipment, but we do the best we can with what we have and that's all any racer can do.
