    MD3 Modified nose??

    Was listening to the webcast from Boone, and they were talking about a MD3 plastic nose that has been approved by IMCA. Has anyone seen one??

              I'm surprised it is considered IMCA legal. The rules read: "Nose panel must be flat with no fins or scoops allowed." That thing clearly has raised edges on the sides. Not to mention the "No composite body panels allowed except roof rock guard and hood scoop" rule. I guess $$$ talks and BS walks huh.

                  I heard on the webcast that a couple of cars at Boone had them. Called and they said should be available in Oct. $159.00 for Black and white $169.00 for colors. Which begs the question, if one of the cars that has one of the "prototypes" on wins, is someone gonna bitch? I wouldn't think they would allow them at Boone unless they were readily available to everyone. They clearly have aerodynamics built into them.....

                      for the $89.00 you could build 5 aluminum noses.just to plan for my taste.

                        and im sure if you make somthing similar you cant run it. i like the look of the nose i like the look of the bigger noses. it would be nice if imca would let the mods run a spoiler too it makes the race car look like a reel car then

                          $89.00 ???? I think you're looking at the wrong pic. It's on the main page of the website. Doesn't have a price listed. I called and they said it would be available in October. Cost is $159.00 for Black and White $169.00 for colors.

                          Heres the pic...

                            nose

                            This is funny. I went to performance bodies at last years IMIS show in Indy and asked if anynone had thought of a plastic nose for a UMP/ IMCA modified. They looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my eyesocket. Now this. Maybe I should go back to the guy that gave me his buisness card, and ask him know?????
                            Funny, too funny
                            I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                              I know what your feeling J A Dirt. We bought a new design 1/4 midget advertised as the Perfection Perfectly Delivered. It was an asphalt car but was told it would work dirt (they were BSn me).Payed thru the nose for it. After many frustrating calls and run arounds because the thing would not work on dirt we went to work modifying it. And got it to working well,very well. Called and chated with the tech guy about shocks and was telling him things we found that worked but wasn't sure why (back then)looking for guidance.Then went to a siminar on this chassis a year later (thinking I was going to learn something).I did, I learned not to teach people how to make there chit work when they will profit from it with not so much as a thankyou. The Cat told the class everything I told him I found worked for dirt verbatem. After the class I told him there was some more findings, but that information would require a check to recieve and to call me if he needed to know more about their car. The Nervo Cogin Pro 2000 works dirt now, Thanks to the Blacksheep. Still waiting on my check + intrest. There is 3tenths of a second still available in that car they don't know about. AND NEVER WILL KNOW from me .But hey thats called racin ,or barrowing knowledge,or theft of knowledge what ever you want to call it !!! A THANKS for the Idea never seems to happen.
