McClanahan DQ in Dallas

Does anyone know what Ryan McClanahan was DQed for, in the pre race all star inspection.

Bob Gullett · 10-13-2023, 08:11 PM

Heard it was wheel base.

I always thought the All Star pre race inspection was a correctable inspection.

They checked Stock and SS Wheelbase after Rd 1 of All Stars.

They Checked after Q2 Carbs, throttle bodies and pumped modified cars.

Sounds like Wesley must have worked the event...
They allowed me to correct the wheelbase at a Memphis division race. Problem was I had a front suspension falling apart.
Lucky for me they checked the wheelbase. Rolled the car forward and it got short... Rolled the car back and it got long...

Curious, what would the advantage be in a longer/ shorter than stock wheelbase be? Or is it possible offset? Rollout?

What you state Barry may be true for 50+/- year old stockers but the front wheel drive conversion superstock/modified cars are built with a stagger to improve rollout. The purpose-built chassis does not move like the old stuff.
