WOO LMS / DIRTcar Technical Bulletin.. Effective Feb. 1, 2020. Droop Rule & penalties

[Burke1118]

Over/under is April 1st as the last time they check this rule. Place your bets now. They can't check the 15" nose height rule, which is essentially the same thing, but wayyyyy easier to check.. not sure why they think they will actually be able to check this one long term. Check the 15" nose height, then check deck height. no droop rule needed. Not to mention with this new rule, your RF spring, RR spring, underslung location, deck orientation are alllll going to effect this measurement. #WoO #Runwhatyabrung

If you were to run a Lucas race on Friday night and were going to run a WOO the next night how much labor or time would be involved? This may be a big problem for locals when the WOO comes to town, actually might be a bigger problem for WOO when car counts decrease.

I’m guessing Lucas ends up following suit. They’ll probably pass out their bulletin at Golden Isles.

Madden's wrap makes it easy to see what they are all doing with the bodies, especially the rear section of the decking/quarter panel.https://www.facebook.com/85470356824...455950/?type=3

they're is a rule on that body line and it is not supposed to be more than one inch drop pulling a string from the rear most point of the deck to the front and the feneder top is supposed to be flat on the same plane

It's not a big deal, you just lower the deck with the adjuster almost all cars have now. It's not like cooks rule where there is a starting deck height measured at ride hieght, cook is more limiting the hike where WoO is just limiting the max deck height at what ever hike limit you are using. You won't have to change anything but the deck height (Aero) and not really mess with the set up. Cooks you may have to alter the chain length and thus mess with steer and your set up.

Basically this rule eliminates guys trying to do everything they can to get the LR ride height as low as possible in the pits so they can raise the Deck to the legal limit of 39". Say a car from static to full hike gains 10" so at the legal limit of 39" at ride height it's 49" jacked up, but say I lower the LR ride height 1" so the deck is now at 38" so I can raise it back to the 39" but now the car hikes 11" worth of deck rise so the deck is now at 50". So it stops guys from trying to make the LR ride height 5" below ride height to gain 5 more inches of dynamic deck height.

It doesn't matter now with this rule as there is a max dynamic height it can be. Even with this rule there are ways to help cheat or make the deck not quite as high the way they are measuring it, so expect to see many teams doing a few things to help beat the measuring. It's going to be small so there is not going to be a huge advantage to this but it's still there.

The spoiler rule was made because Richards had a 1/2" wide hinge effectively making the spoiler 8 1/2" tall.

The rounded backside of the spoiler helps to pull more air from underneath the deck, essentially a vacuum under the deck hence more rear downforce.

Question: this new droop rule it's world of outlaws so is that for all of dirtcar including UMP?

Pretty much, just run off at the mouth. Don’t use facts, the rule affects everyone. They should start enforcing the rules they already have too.

When steve francis first took the spot for teching cars 2 yrs ago. He had everybody SCRAMBLING at GIS. Well we all see how long that lasted. Drivers and owners went over francis and he got reeled in. It may be the same here, you can't p off the teams that follow your series. Richards and Bloomer walk into that woo trailer and say this new rule is making us think about jumping ship. That new rule will very quietly go away.

Scott (and friends) are not going anywhere. Because of there Drydene money they have to run woo. And marks been there for 15 years don’t seem him going anywhere anytime soon

Does anyone on here know if this new rule will apply to all of Dirtcar including UMP
