What is so "economy" about economy bomber now?

I agree there was a series down here Southern Outlaw Street stocks that required stock spindles basically stock suspension components camaro clip tube back or metric cars 108 in wheelbase 10 in wheels & tires claim rule on shocks 300 HP heads solid lifters it ran for 2 or 3 seasons lots of cars very competive very well teched the people running it just gave it up too many headaches my point is I could build 2 cars with those rules .No one in our area has a class like this a friend of mine wanted to do a car for this problem for us was it was a 3 hr or longer drive for us so we never built one .Racing is in trouble and I don't know what the answer is.

There's a lot of Crown Vic's making left hand turns only right now. Lots of major mod chassis builders have gone that way for a while now.

hey buddy, please clear you messages, I have a question, thanks

Unfortunately this is 100% correct. Between the fact that the donor cars for this division in the past are now 30+ year old "classics" and also the remaining ones that were not in "classic condition" were traded in during cash for clunkers it is all but impossible to get a new car without getting a newly fabricated frame.

I think tracks really should embrace the Crown Vics. There are tons of those things out there that use to be police interceptors that you can get for cheap. You could call it the "Cruiser" division or something like that. Right now that is about all we have left for V8 RWD options. Once we run out of V8 RWD cars it will be a sad day, because driving an FWD car does very little to prepare you for moving up to the Late Models, Sprints, Mods or whatever else.

Thanks,
Jeff.

This is a great post Jeff..........spot On

I really can't believe certain tracks haven't embraced the trucks........a bazillion of them sitting around from the late 70s,80s.

I've seen a few trucks out there that have been converted from asphalt to dirt, but they are just a token field fillers.

I would like to see a field of 15/20 trucks ( ford v Chevy) in a class..........sorry, just the redneckk coming out.

I've seen some dirt track trucks, in fact I think up in the Dakotas there is a series. But otherwise, yeah I think trucks would be the logical choice for a beginner division. In fact a mini truck division would be the perfect started class rather than UCARS. There are a ton of little S10s and Rangers around that would be great in a division like that. I rarely see it on dirt, but it was pretty popular in New England where I'm from originally. Check out the attached picture, they are pretty good looking trucks and the racing isn't bad either.
