Ricky Weiss eliminates the competition at Cedar Lake

[Josh Bayko]

Was this droop or deck height? It makes no sense to check static deck height too.

The corner of the left side quarter panel is where they measure the droop from. I’m assuming that’s what they mean by quarter panel violation.

Supposedly WOO officials said the rubber spacer (a15 cent) part broke.

For the one expert on here. They measure six inches in from the corner of the left rear quarter. Unless things have changed, Cook’s series doesn’t tell you what kind of limiter you can run. Weiss is right, it’s hell to rely on a 15 cent part when running a 100,000 dollar race car.

Jimmie Johnson lost a Nascar championship when a wheel bearing broke. How much are those

+/- 100 bucks or so.

Or maybe that 15 cent part was designed to fail? Nah, racers would never think of doing that.

jcotton,

Last time I looked at Ray's rules, no limiter was allowed. Just a chain, period.

If Ricky came around to Scott's thinking, you are probably right.

I don't think Scott is alone in that approach. Most racers look for any advantage they can get and a part "breaking" is sometimes enough to create that advantage. Some parts break and send you to the infield, others break and you go to victory lane. lol

[OkieDirtFan]

So, if this 15 cent piece “breaks” is it enough to give someone an unfair advantage over the rest of the field? Honest question.

I was just stating what the WOO director & technical director were talking about (part failur) in the dirt on dirt article today. They interviewed both & Weiss last night after the dis-qualification. Very good article. They also said that the “rumor mill” was that some teams were soaking this rubber piece with a chemical that would make it softer/ but would break down the rubber. Looks like people are getting creative and that spiced things up! I believe it was Junior Johnson that said “if you’re not cheating g/ you’re not racing.”

[TUTY]

Scott was probably the person up to whatever was done. You tell Weiss you finish top 3 and I’ll pay what you would have won if your DQ’ed. I’m not saying that happened but it wouldn’t surprise me. Probably seeing if they would pick on Ricky or if it was just him that there out to get. I’m probably just blowing SMOKE? Oh that’s right he left Bloomquist.

Lucas tour will be packed next year. This droop nonsense is gonna run a lot of guys off the WoO tour just give it time.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

You'd be surprised what it does to a car if you are forced to change LR droop travel a half inch. The advantage is getting back to what works for you, more than just getting extra travel.

There are only two guys on tour who can’t handle it. The other 8 guys on tour have no issues whatsoever. But yeah, the WoO is going to lose all its racers over one guy’s inability to adapt.
