Any new theories on replicating the LR design within the new rules

Here is the link to the WoO Unified Rules.

If you read the portion you alluded to literally it sounds like swing arm is illegal, but if you read everything included in the rules it sounds as though it is legal. I understand they list "4 link" as the common suspension but I'm wondering if that is meaning 4 separate links, not 4 links facing forward. I sent them an email and I'm waiting to hear back. They sound so proud of themselves in their collective movement to abolish everything. This is why I opposed WRG from the beginning, too much centralized power and the average racer with "NO" say.

Are you not aware of what a live axle is?

What was the general purpose of the rumley device?

[TheJet-09]

Don't hold your breath on getting a response to your email. I tried asking them to explain what the interior rule about being level across from 20" on back (or whatever the number/verbiage is) means, because I don't see many (if any) cars that have level interior except at the firewall and spoiler. But I emailed them four years ago, so maybe they've just been busy.

Are you not aware of what a live axle is?

Yes, an axle that drives thru both rear wheels simultaneously and evenly. We had to run "Live Axles" in karting, no differentiating power to one wheel over the other, equal power delivered to both sides.

What was the general purpose of the rumley device?

It corrected an inherent flaw in the 4 link rear suspension that hindered traction.

No idea. You could have asked the same question about 4 links in 1993.

[old fan]

i would say no would be the answer when was the last time you saw a rayburn win i know one that runs real well not sure if its still a swing arm though

[Lizardracing]

Tons of swing arms running around here and doing well.

[zeroracing]

Lizard, swing and late models running up front? I have not noticed too many in the pits around myself, but have not been looking for them. Where are they still running upfront?

I believe 2002

I can guarantee that no swing arm is running up front with any kind of competition

You aren't going to roll one out of CJs shop and do it, but it can be done.

[DGI]

There's a certain orange and blue #44 in PA that would disagree. Passed Chub and Jarrod Miley to win on last lap at Eriez. Straight outta CJ's shop.

On the national level probably 2009 was probably last year on the National level for Swing Arm cars. The last best finish for a Rayburn Swing Arm in the World 100 was Dennis Erb Jr in 2009, he finished 10th.

Dan Schleiper was in Rayburn for most of 2007, went Wild Swing Arm 2007-2009.
Shannon Babb was probably 2007.
Billy Moyer was 2007.
Don Oneal was still in Rayburn in 2008.
Dennis Erb Jr was 2009.
Terry Casey was 2009.
