Ray Cooks new droop rule

[zyoung25]

That's all I've seen it for so far are Rays stuff.

There are several drivers that are speaking their mind about it on Facebook. They definitely shook the hornets nest. Haha

It's hard to take a man seriously when he uses the words "drupe" and "swung". Hey Ray how about proof reading. Let's try droop and slung. LOL!

The chassis brand doesn't matter in the video he says the are going to measure the deck height at full droop I believe he said 47 inches at full droop.

The chassis brand does matter though because the rules say that cars have to have underslung bars, because that's where they're going to jack the cars up at. I know Mastersbilt and Swartz still build cars without them, and I'm sure there are others out there too

[GRT62]

Im speaking on the fact that people were saying different chassis had different drop length measurements they could easily jack the car under the seat. With that being said I think this is a stupid rule, the smaller you make the box the higher you drive up the price to be competitive,

Someone on here stated awhile back there was some talk around some race shops they were hearing some talk of some new nose mounting and body rules coming for 2018. I hope this chain is not all we get...

[donavon]

right front nose no higher than 13 inches from the ground

do t know why people think it needs to be different with different cars fact is that at full droop the deck cant be higher than 47. u might have to mess with ur deck bar a little or make new mounting points.

That's the way I understood it as well. With a 1/2 inch leeway. It's not how you get there, it's that 47 inch measurement at full droop.

Might be a stupid rule but you got stupid rules because of chassis/teams over push the grey areas. You give a 1/2 inch they push for inch, you give them 1 inch they push for 2 inches. One person starts doing it, then everyone starts pushing see how far they can go with it. Don't like the rules that are set, don't run that series or track.

So do you think this rule is going to help the racing in any positive way? do you think we are going to take hike out of the car or just drop the deck down this rule will do nothing. How about you enforce the body rules and there is no need for a "Overton Rule".

This rule should result in less rollovers if they implement and check it correctly.

[Drop Shock]

Better track prep will prevent more rollovers

underslung or not, every car has a location on the rear of the chassis to jack it up from.

[billetbirdcage]

You are going to see the left underslung bars moved as far right as possible so when you jack it lifts the right side as much as possible.
