Leave the dirt late model bodies alone. They are the coolest looking thing on track, in the garage, or anywhere. Some of you people want to change this, and that. Be very careful of what you wish for.

That's a dumb comment. Why do you feel that the way the cars looks is more important than the quality of racing and the sustainability of dirt late model racing?

They were cool 15 years ago.

Sorry Gear Head, I didn't mean to piss on your parade. Do you not agree that they are the best looking thing on the track? I'm just saying don't make extreme changes to the looks of the cars.

They look like they have been wrapped around a telephone pole

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Bodies, engines, suspension, etc, need changed. Yes I am wishing for that.

Picture a wooden door stop. That was the "wedge" cars of the 80's.

IMHO...they got it right with the direction the cars went in the 90's, early 2000's.

Today...we're inching closer and closer to a wider version of the wedge car.

Wide-flared nose piece, 100% needs to be changed.

Make a point for better racing, more ease of getting into late model racing and for teams sustaining for the long haul and I’m interested. Until then, based on your opinion of pleasing cosmetics, I will pass.

Besides the flares on the noses, I love the current late model and judging by the standing room only crowds at Lucas and WoO shows,I'm not the only one.

Go back to the bodies of the early 2000's and get rid of the flares and get the noses up off the ground. Making the cars less aerodynamic will only make the racing better and take some stress off the drivetrain.

It is no joke when you get close behind someone it feels like 1000 pounds comes off your front end and it takes off ... obviously that phenomenon makes it more difficult to come through the pack and gives a big advantage to the guy leading in clean air. Anything that makes that less severe will
Make the racing better

You could take a ton of downforce off of em without significantly changing the look of the cars.

How much downforce do you lose being a full second off the pace?.....asking for a friend!

I disgree 200%. They look better now, by far IMO.

[Krooser]

Had the old body mocked up on my '04 Smackdown... my non-racing neighbors couldn't ID it as a race car... or even a car.

Wanna save LM racing? Make them look like a real car again not a refrigerator laying on it's back.
