    So here's what gets me the way the shock rule reads
    "Front 7” shock must collapse and extend 7”. 9” rear shock must collapse and extend 9”.
    In that rule it doesn't give a measurement point for that 7" or 9" of travel.
    Also the track doesn't even have scales. That already questions much of the enforcement of the track.

      Great point. No scales is very odd.

        The point of that text is to eliminate internal bumps. But, it just means you fail people like they did HTF, for no reason. They need to push and pull them in a spring smasher. If load spikes and displacement doesn't move much, no bump inside.

          I think they just didn't have scales that night.

            That was my point. What would they do about older Rayburn cars that ran 6" shocks up front??? This everybody exactly the same $h!t is way outta hand and like it or not is the mindset of the current generation.

              I'm just as frustrated. Everyone turns a blind eye to things that matter. Then they turn right around and write horrible rules to incorrectly combat things that they don't understand, that are not a real issue.

                Agree 1,000% Reminds me of government, just do something so we can say we did. The 602 rules to me are the worst I've ever seen, its like they asked the laziest person racing what his biggest gripes were with his fellow racers and used that for the rules. Now you go to almost any track and they have 4 to 5 classes all running 602. Ignorant people complain about things they don't understand and so they just write a rule banning it or making it mandatory for everyone, with no concept of why or how it does or doesn't work. Hugo Chavez would be ecstatic.

                Always good talking to you, MBR.
