New rules for Lucas out

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

everbody acting like this is the end of latemodels all the series doing is going back to what everbody was running 14 months ago and what 98% of drivers are still running. These rules only effect
A hand full of drivers.

68.257 % of statistics are made up on the fly.

You are right. I have never seen a racer change schedule.

David's slingshot outlawed Goliath's request.

They effect anybody coming up with their own idea and being able to run it, that's the point. The only people not upset by this are the same ones who lack the vision, creativity or courage to go outside the freaking box. I myself sent Mr Ritchie an email voicing my disgust with this whole situation and discontinued my subscription to their emails. I realize this has no direct effect on them, but I felt I had to say something.

That wasn't really technology. Just big surfaces with down force and drag. I was talking about rules to "dumb down" parts.

Didn't Charlie understand down force and drag better then anybody at that point or maybe he was just the first to exploit the grey area in the rules. Either way the bodies were certainly dumbed down for awhile when the wedge cars were outlawed.

Of coarse the wind tunnel tested bodies of today are no longer dumbed down and work as a package with those other parts to give you something similar to the old wedge cars.

new rules

I agree with Tsand new rules is what most are running

Isn't pretty much every car in the country illegal with swiveling shock mounts ? And what about older cars with the cage height rule ? Pierce cars cant run the traction shock on axle tube or anyone else that runs shock on clamp bracket.?

There's plenty of clevis is style shock
Mounts available that don't swivel when they are tight.

Cage shock mounts: Realistically, this is an oversight by the people writing/wording the rules. If it isn't changed before racing starts it won't be enforced, IMO.

I also believe, you won't see WoO following lucas least to the degree Lucas did. I believe their rules will be much simpler, more defined, and less limiting and won't limit creativity as much.

Here's the bottom line , rumley is pissed he's back to the drawing board so he try's to outsmart you geniuses by spinning a narrative that he can design the same thing to beat the rules but it will cost a million dollars .... He's using your own stupidity against you , you can't build
What he has under the new rules for any amount of money . Master racer suggested he could engineer solid 4 links that act like spring rods except Lucas mandated the thickness , diameter and material for the 4 link rods. You going to have to man up and out wheel the single greatest talent to ever strap in if you want to win now !! Your not going to win jumping the cushion 3 times a lap now because you have a gadget on the left rear ... This is going to put it back in the drivers hands and you guys ALL know (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) well that scenario stacks the odds in the favor of the GOAT Mr Bloomquist

You are going to upset some people with these facts. lol

[rickybrown1952]

Can someone please put on here exactly what the rule changes are

[slmcrewchief99]

Go to the LUCAS Oil Series website Ricky. The new rules are posted.

Just measured the new rocket cars I have at my shop for customers and all 3 only have 37.5" in the drivers compartment . No floors even installed yet!

You will find there isn't many cars that will be legal with this rule and now that Lucas has set the rule it will be interesting. They say it is from the floor to top of roll cage bar.. But that isn't what the rule in black and white says. Don't worry though they have too many other rules that they will be tied upon to be measuring cage heights.
