NEW - Economy Late Model Series - Illinois

Economy, and Late Model don't go together

[Forward Bite]

Sounds like a good plan for a fun to race late model class, but why engine CID limit when there is an engine claim . What is a white Chinese head ? What is the deal regarding Karls cam ?

The problem with a claim is: Even when it's legitimately used because someone thinks the engine is high dollar, it then becomes a I'm gonna claim you back every week deals and just starts a bunch of animosity between teams. I see no reason not to limit the CID, just for simplicity.

The Skip White deal: It's imported parts with very low quality and notorious for failures. Not saying the company is shady or anything, but the products and brands they sell are know to fail and don't hold up long but are cheap. Google it or Procomp products and see for yourself.

No idea on the cam, but I would think it's a reboxed cam from one of the large cam manufacturer or possible being a grind of their own made by someone.

The oil shocks are a good start...

Leading to lower car counts yet again by watering down the class. You have pro,crate,now economy

Why can't we have just good ole honest tech? Here are the rules and we're gonna check to make sure you are right. All this claimer business and sealing bolts have proven defeat-able, but with specs you are either right or wrong and you can decide how much you want to spend on your engine. If you can afford to claim an engine you can afford to protest.

I think a big problem with tech is where do you find a tech man with no vested interest in any team or influenced by any promoter or racer...I think thats hard to find... if I was a promoter I would find a tech guy from a different region of the country and would pay him a good salary...if you have honest tech man that does his job I think the cars would come in flocks to race there...On another point I seen bronson had an xr1 for sale 40,000 for I guess the chassis with the body on it..maybe shocks too...smh #costsoutofhand

Does anyone know who's behind this series? Seems like it kinda came out of nowhere.

I sure wish them luck, but also don't foresee any driver being interested in this. At some point, it's no longer late model racing. Late models are not entry level cars, nor should they try to be made out to be. You can't run new tires??? Some of the rules just seem a little too controlling. Like telling me what valving I have to run on my cheapo shocks? Because they might make me remove them so they can be dyno'd? Come on...

[golddirt]

Isn't this street stock now?

[race14]

Stupid idea tech the crates and b-mods and be done with it.smdh

No names is an indication of this never happening.

I saw on their Facebook post that someone mentioned Brian Crebo. I have no idea if he's running it, but I believe he has a used racecar parts business down in the Peoria area, so a possible connection would make sense.

USRA has a decent limited late model deal that seems to be growing....spec Integra shocks is my biggest gripe but I'm not running it. But my iron headed SB
is legal...

[fastford]

our limited late model class at TST has held its car count better than all other classes , except the hot shots which are the front wheel drives , and the limited are policed pretty well.

Limited and/or crate late models are the future of weekly late model racing.
