Just making the bodies straight, flat and symmetrical and actually enforcing it would do more than these droop rules.

The front or rear wheel track widths haven't really changed (they are slightly wider then 20 years ago but an inch or so), it's the right front corner of the body is pulled left to create more angle in the right side body to create a side board to lean on (aero side force). Todays cars can easily create over 700# of side force thru aero.Originally posted by dirtSLMracing View Post
Pick a car from say 95ish and the wheel tracks are basically the same it's just the way the body is made so the RF looks like it sticks out, when all 4 wheels are basically in the same relationship to each other and the RF isn't actually any more outside the RR then the 95 car was.
Basically take the T bar that holds the deck at the back of the hood and shift that left 6" and then move the very rear T bar at the back of the car and shift that right a bunch and a 95 car would look basically the same. The actual nose pieces of the car is still in the same place or shifted right a fair amount also.Last edited by billetbirdcage; 02-13-2022, 07:16 PM.Comment

Rules are what they are.Make the best of them you can.I’m just glad they have become unified!Comment

Unified? If you think everyone is going to check all of this stuff, I have a bridge to sell you. All this nonsense is what ended unification. People act like different rules was the norm. We've been on same rules since UMP and UDTRA bodies became the same over 20 years ago, until the 2016 season.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

They checked pretty well at the Lucas races.…Ya can’t fight city hall I’m not one to complain about rules, poor track conditions, etc….everyone’s racing under the same conditions. I guess I am becoming more passive as I get older and concentrate my thoughts on what I can control.😎Comment

CCHIEF, Lucas and Woo are but a thin slice of DLM racing. I'm talking about everyone else who Woo/Lucas thinks has to follow along. They are destroying what a dirt late model is and forcing costs on everyone else. I don't cry about costs everyone else chooses to incur. I do get upset when my stuff I've used for years or even decades continues to be replaced by a pen. I don't want to fight city hall from another state and my own.Last edited by MasterSbilt_Racer; 02-14-2022, 10:47 AM.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

It’s a flawed rule. When taking turns out of your rf spring makes you fail the rule then it’s time for a change. That is easiest and most cheap way there is to make a car turn betterComment

Drop Shock,
That's just one of a huge list of things that can result in failure. Hollidge and Overton found a couple others. Since we don't know who won the race when the checker flies, they should at least do this in front of the stands with a red and a green light. Give some entertainment value to the pain.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

Move on, you all sound like Kevin Rumley whining and crying. Rules are rules, just ask Kyle Strickler at the scales last night.Comment

Like the rule of driving 55 mph on most 4 lane roads…..the rule about being 21 to have a beer but can be 18 to die for your country? Both of them started out with good intentions, but both are useless and dumb.
Just like the tire rules and this droop nonsense.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment
