    They should lose cars over the idiocy. The arbitrary nit picking rules are stupid. Fix the bodies! You shouldn't need a semi to haul your car. But with these monstrosities, you do.

      I’m with you with fixing the bodies, but I doubt we see any real changes for a couple years.

        How many cars are flipping over in the Lucas series? This rule had nothing to do with safety. This rule was invented to give older chassis more of a chance. It was to help level the field and truth be known it was to give Ray more of a chance. Why WOO adopted it is anyone's guess, but it was a bad move.

          Bingo. How many local tracks are following it also I wonder. Are UMP ones required to?

            Mastersbuilt. You don't need those big shinny rigs because of a body. They sure as heck don't make the car go any faster. It was first said they cut down on hotel expenses for teams. Well that went by the wayside. T-mac proved last year, get me to track and let me race. Team Zero has 1 team that carries a back up car. I wonder how many other teams only carry 1 car. I'm sure I am in the minority about this but I think the cars look good. Restrict them now so that no one can come up with another body modification. You cut those plastic elephant ears off the front and give them a 3" wickerbill in the back !!! Then you would see who the real drivers are. Yea, Yea never going to happen.

                Bayko knows it all. If a rule over droop chain mechanisms breaking is causing teams thousands of dollars I can assure you teams will drop off this tour. If you take away Weiss and 0 you basically have Sheppard and a bunch of mediocre drivers. Dillard hits a setup once every few months. There’s a reason Drydene wanted the zero camp to run WoO. You have to beat one guy on a nightly basis and right now they can’t even do that. Like I said give it time.

                  But wait....WoO is all about taking care of Rocket Chassis Co just a thread ago, now they adopt a rule to help older chassis, which could mean fewer new Rocket sales, which would hurt Rocket. Oh, the confusion....

                          . He also won several partly due to late cautions. 😜

                            Why they worried about droop? Cars today have no droop issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rZJsbBxQx4 . Wedge cars are still my favorite DLM cars of all time

                              Well Johnson is done. Positive covid 19 test. I think he's had it with NASCRAP personally

                                Which has everything to do with Weiss and droop, of course.
