Straight Axle???

People with weight to throw around don't even want a very small risk to their kingdom.

I think this is it👍 I’m very impressed that someone can build their own chassis and go race. I’m sure the powers to be feel threatened by that.

Super LM is actually a spec class now. The sanctions just don't know what rules need written until someone tells them.

For those without bookface———————Well it appears that after 30 years of super dirt late models having zero front suspension rules, there is now considered a need for them. The irony of the situation is that these rule additions were lobbied for under the guise of “keeping costs down” and “keeping technology from getting out of hand”. The result keeps the lowest budget team in the pits with the oldest, simplest, and cheapest type of front suspension known to man from being allowed to race. Since there’s no need to keep this a secret anymore, feast your eyes on the “revolutionary” front suspension (aka, a straight axle) currently installed on the car we have been running this year. AK3.0 was a fun and rewarding project that I am very proud of but sad to see banned before it could reach its full potential. Luckily momma didn’t raise no quitter.. we break ground on 4.0 this weekend.

That's one interesting pc.

Personally I am glad they put a stop to it. Rules are made for some to work around the rule book. I applaud the ingenuity to come up with it.

Costs are out of hand as it is. You bring this new pc into the mix and you just made brand new cars obsolete

Does anyone have a link or info on where the rule change is ?

I don't think there's anything in print. I'm guessing he was tipped off to it.

How is a new car obsolete? Is this ancient technology proven better? Let's skips that and pretend a straight axle car has an advantage. Are all the crybabies, who apparently complained, running several year old cars?

Gotcha that's ashame, question for those in the know. Was the earlier car he built that he had at i think eastbay a year or two ago the same design ?

Are they trying to prevent people from experimenting with some sort of front end traction control through the use of an axle? Is it a preemptive rule?

Truth is stranger than fiction to some, and completely believable to others.

MastersBuilt, I will ask you this. Guys are spending 40 on rollers to run in a crate class. It is the exact same car as a slm minus some lite weight bolt on gear.

To my question. So what happens if someone shows up with a straight front axle slm and dominates racing ? You can't tell me that's going to be good for the sport. All those guy on tour will be dumping cars and the builders won't be able to build them fast enough. I betcha the price goes up another 5 K on top of that.

For all you haters of team blue. Rockets where a decent car to have 5 yrs ago. They developed the xr-1 to where it is today and there probably selling at a ratio of 3 or 4 to 1.

Technology is killing the sport, Gaerte, Shavers you could buy them in the 30k range. Today you mite get a good used one for that price. I guess I liked the sport a lot more in my day.

How good is a 2010 Mastersbilt? You have to get new cars due to advancement anyway. If the rulebook is a joke, just say so. This sport was built with a very small rulebook. When I started driving, we had monoleaf cars, swing arm cars, 4 link cars, cantilever cars, and more. It was all legal and it was all ok. We didn't need a new rule if a car went on a winning streak.

Any car can be clipped. You can't go making new rules every time something looks different. It's bush leagues

You know darn well if Longhorn brought 5 new axle cars to speedweeks 2020, it would still be legal, just like it was. Hell, big block mods say you HAVE to run a front axle.

I don't care what fools spend on a crate, or a super. Guys buy a new car for 40k and could have had the same thing if they cut and welded their old one.

I like what Masterbilt thinks on this issue 👍👍👍
