    18+ degree = #2300 w/8 inch.
    2. 1 shock per wheel, both in front of axle.
    3. Body/Nose at no point can be higher than 6 inches from ground.
    4. Max LR droop = 2 inches from ride height.
    5. Tires can be NO more than 2 inches tucked in or extend out past body, front and rear.
    6. Do away with the, "Rumley Rule".


    Just a few possibles off the top of my head, quick & dirty. #5 is a rule they use in Australia on their Super Sedans, only its 1 inch instead of 2. The fans will scream,"NO! They must be jacked up or they arent Super!!!" Really it comes down to whether you want to save the sport or watch continue to consume itself. Small Body rules saved us in the 80's when the wedge was killing us. I don't see why a similar approach can't right the ship today from Wedge 2.0 . Personally I don't see it working out, too many are he!! bent on following Nascrap to the promised land of the, "Next Level". Now that end of the sport is so elite, what was once the road to glory for blue collar hero's is now the private domain of wealthy elite's who write the rules to make sure money gives them an edge. Just like in Government, the solution is a populous focused, decentralized simplification.
    Great ideas but the reality is that it wont happen

    What exactly is the Rumley Rule?

      I did how he called Madden a quitter and called out RW for basically using Scott for information then going to build his mousetrap.

            I don't think you're wrong at all, BUT I'm not buying one to wear to a race he don't show up to.

              Yeah that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve seen anyone say.

                      Haven’t listened to the interview, but I’m guessing what has him ticked(Twitter post) is Weiss and his chassis. Which on one hand, I get it, I’m sure it’s mostly a copy. But if you had your crap together, and ran a professional team, I’m sure he’d have stayed. But you guys aren’t, so he left to do his own thing. Don’t blame him one bit.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        Other than Babb, is anyone else in a Team Zero car running better than Weiss?

                          Fergy has been pretty good. But hasnt raced much and has older cars.

                            Fergy and McDowell are both consistently fast but they would be fast in anything you put them in. Cody just seems to be on a mission to show the world how much of a clown he really is. Perhaps he is just struggling to deal with the unprecedented success both SBR and The Dirt Million are experiencing under his expert leadership and professionalism?
