Default Re: Shipping weights

I’m to fat to get my 69 camaro to AA. But if they would let new and old cars race in regular stock I’m in for AA with my CJ

Charley let Paul's wife run the car I'm sure it would fit.

Bill I would love to run AA/SA. If we use the logic that some on here have used, I would be a shoe in. I also put light weight seats in my car, took out the rear seat, use light weight rear and tires, no exhaust system, light weight wheels, aluminum radiator, plus a lot more weight removed. Why shouldn't my car get the same gift the 2015 Camaro's got. Then I could fit in AA/SA.

Darren, your cars run my class and I thought it was a chitty deal right from the start. Between the factory bogus HP and using the wrong shipping weight. I do want to see the newer cars in Stock and know it's a tough deal to make them work with the right shipping weight, but it doesn't make it right. I can forget the whole deal if you take the block from under Jeff's gas pedal and he runs the car all out at Gainesville. BP

PS let me know what run so I can watch. LOL

Moral of the story is they should probably be left alone. There's no consideration for cars that when prepped for stock eliminator without even trying to get them as lot as possible. Many newer cars would have to add way more than 500 lbs to get to the minimum of the lightest class. The issue people have with some of the newer cars shouldn't be as much the shipping weight as it is the hp rating. Lonnie is a smart guy, and I know he can help make some positive changes. I would like to see more involvement for current racers in proposed rules. A couple of SRAC member disagreeing could swing a decision that 98% of people would be in favor of. There's always scenarios that may get overlooked without the input of others. The old adage "two heads are better than one" comes to mind.
