Suspension rules get locked down ....

Why was it aimed at them? They maybe race 6 or so times with WOO! Obviously, that isn't the case!

If you notice, their rules say "unified rules package" or something similar. They felt they had to go along with what was already started.

Not really buying your argument there. I believe WOO/UMP are more professional than that, to make rules against one team, that's not even a "threat" to their series!

I didn't say WoO made rules against the 6. I said they made their rules match what was happening from Lucas down.

Lucas are the ones who made rules against a single team. The dominoes started falling in an effort to keep all the cars on the same rules. It is quite simple.

That's not entirely true. Several teams were experimenting with spring rods.

the rules were set back in feb, John Darby from NASCAR help write the rules

i was wondering if that was the same John Darby.What does a nascar guy know about late models?

I ran spring rods in 1997. That is not new technology! Any suspension with a solid rear axle has always been legal until 2016. It isn't now because people are scared of a guy named Kevin Rumley. End of story

Everything that got outlawed was simply collateral damage in an attempt to slow the 6 car and rid it of a device the rules guys didn't understand.

That is too perfect. And makes too much sense.

What a joke!

So did I. Was one of the first to run Penske's tracking dampner. But, you didn't see anyone running two or more on the same side?

Two racing organizations do NOT spend all that time and money to slow one car down. Get real! Forrest would have had Ritchies head on a platter if he was on that type of a witch hunt!

There was no other reason to go NASCAR style with the rules. None. Late models were not broken.

Who cares if a guy runs 4 spring rods? He isn't going to consistently be fast.

why is it a joke most sanctions will have the same rules isn't that a good thing

he doesn't, he was there to make the riules as complete as possible some guy name Roger Slack was also involved

Dirt racing was the place you could still go in motorsports to see innovation. Why go the NASCAR route where they have a boring, dying product as they have continued to pile on more and more rules year after year?
