Something I need to clear up in regard to my call for more tech, and to relate it back to our discussion on heads and shocks.
My call for tech is not to insult anyone in the tech department. My call is for everyone together to enforce the rules.
What is happening is a blind eye is being turned. The reason could be the tracks need all the racers they can get, and if one track says you can’t do something, another will let it fly. Its going to send things is the wrong direction.
Without tech there is not a level playing field. You can watch cars dominate in the area that they are not legal. You have to throw more and more money at your car. To solve this, we are starting to see components spec’d.
Guys are spending a fortune for power, lets bring in the LLM 602 to level the field for the other guys.
Guys are spending a fortune on shocks, lets bring in a spec shock.
Why?? Just enforce the darn rules. Why must the guys running legal now have to spend more money again to change their stuff, because others are cheating the rules?
Furthermore keep going in this direction and soon everything will be spec. If I wanted that I would race legends… It takes away the fun and challenge of finding the best head to run, debating it with other racers, then proving it on the track. It takes away from finding a stock mount shock, without cheating the rules, that works great and give you a bit of an advantage. That’s what racing is to me, and I don’t want to lose that with spec this and spec that, just to make the field even without tech inspection.
Lets try running the rules we have, enforced! Tom Walters LLM engine is not a thunder engine any way you cut it. Or if you spend 10K on a bottom end, its not a thunder engine. Shocks that compress under their own weight, but 2 guys cannot pull back out are not stock type shocks. Seems simple to me, all you have to do is look at them.. Is it so wrong to enforce this?
The only thing that keeps us from becoming a spec series, or spending out life savings to go fast by keeping things even, is tech.

Ross I hate to agree with you on this one lol, but you are right. I know what we spent this year on our motor, with a very reputable builder. Although we had a good season, we still found it tough to pull with some of the cars at Sunset.

Ross;
Barrie, Sunset, Peterborugh, KW, Mosport and Varney have all agreed that if anyone is disqualified from any one of these tracks, that they are disqualified from all the rest.
So if you are caught cheeting and get kicked out, that does not leave to many other tracks to run.
(If they all stick together)

Thats kinda funny Wes, when DQ's cars are showing up at the very tracks you listed the next week. So i guess that means the DQ applies to all those tracks on or for the same night? Dunno if anyone has tried to run 2 tracks in one night, so I don't think that is going to effect anyone.  |

Yeah a bunch of guys ran at two places on night... it can pretty well only happen on the NCATS race nights though...
If you're being an idiot word gets around pretty fast... it's a very small community of racers in this province.
Most of the time Tech issues involve a DQ for the night... you have to try pretty hard to get thrown out of a track IMO...

The key word should have read "suspended" and not "disqualified" as there is a big difference between the two. |

You gotta do a burn out on Bruce's scales to get suspended And you can do that in a legal car |

If you did something like that... then yes you probably would be suspended or banned.
