49 deck height?

They just need to make the bodies straight, flat and symmetrical and things would be better and not significantly change the look of the cars.

Look where we were, then it got REALLY crazy, then back to earth.

Still find it hard to believe, nobody here knows who the Custom Chassis builders are/were?

JDs car has that stance of a demo derby car that's been hit in the azz one too many times.
Looking at pictures on DoD, his is definitely more bent than any other car.

I recall it looking like this early this year then I felt like it wasn’t as bad for a few months but it’s definitely way higher this weekend.

You actually need a stacker to field a competitive body.

I've stated many times I like the look of today's supers. Well since they decided to have them look like they currently do. Forget about it. I don't understand why they don't want to get this under control. Supers are getting to the point you really have to be on your game to run up front. Downforce, sideforce, pinned LF, spoilers up so high in the corners I wonder what the guy tucked in tight can really see.

Somebody needs to grow and set and say enough is enough. With both series, unless they sit down together and come up with unified rules it's just never going to happen. Tire sample, anyone.

Give them an inch they will take a mile. I wish they would have tried to reign it in 10 years ago when a small group warned this was the direction they were heading. It’s good to see more people on the board against these monstrosities now. It may be too little to late though.

Doesn’t seem to help him much in traffic anyway.

It looks like a tornado car half bent around a tree. He!!, they’re all twisted and bent. Some guys are mounting the left sail panel to stick just above the roof and create a little lip for more sidebite. Bodies are out of
control.

Not that I dislike the look of today's supers, because I do like them compared to any other racing. But that being said, every time I see DoD run photos of Throwback Thursday and see photos of cars from around 2005 (give or take a few years) I think, those were some of the better looking dirt late models of the modern era. There was still that identity thing with the noses and sail panels that they were trying to adhere to, the bodies were more symmetrical, and overall they were just very good looking race cars. They have evolved a good bit back toward wedge cars.

It might be time to just drop the name "late models" from the description and call them Dirt Supers (like some already do).

[Raceready]

The cars have basically turned into glorified modified that has some front fenders on them. . .

[Stefan2k20]

It seems to me, the old wedge cars actually looked better that the "twisted" cars we see today. That raises the question why not just bring them back? At least they were somewhat symmetrical, except for the sideboards. By outlawing the wedge bodies all we did was encourage them to find "workarounds" like designing the suspension in such a way that it hikes the rearend way up in the air. In essence, "killing" the wedge car gave us what we have today and the result is cars that are even more ridiculous and distorted looking. Of course, this is just my opinion.

If the rules had been enforced it wouldn’t have gotten out of hand again and we wouldn’t have the modern day wedge.

[Stefan2k20]

Yeah, but that's the problem with rules, you gotta enforce them and it's why sometimes it's better not to have them. Rules also encourage teams to find tricks to work around them and accomplish the same end. So, it becomes a never ending game. And those workarounds just become more creative and complex and often times more expensive.
