Title: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 12/26/14 at 8:56pm Good sample of a IMCA Stock Car race. A lot of big names in that race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcbYgZg4-w0 |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 12/28/14 at 11:45am Here's a fast explanation of the IMCA Stock Car. Greg is a top ranked driver. A little camera nervous and didn't mention that I ran a leaf spring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXp09wW9Lw |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 12/30/14 at 9:13am The open/ 350 carb motor is the same as an a mod open motor. Same motor rules except you have a choice of two spec intakes and you run a 350 cfm Holley 2 bbl carb. Idea was to make it easy to build a motor to cross over classes and borrow one from you buddy when needed. Rick Childress is my buddy now! |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 12/31/14 at 8:17am The 500 carb option is a Bakersfield hobby stock motor with the spec intake and 500 carb. Any flat tappet solid or hyd lifter is allowed using a 1.25 max diameter valve spring. The GM cylinder heads are defined by casting number and are a no touch rule; same open chamber we run on the hobby. There is a 10.5 max compression ratio which is easy to hit. This motor is run on 91 pump gas. Happy New Year. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by Chris Swank on 01/01/15 at 7:32am :o This class is about to explode in the area. There's a lot of people thinking about but just have not pulled the trigger on building cars. 2015 will be a great year for the class. I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more cars joining throughout the year. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/01/15 at 9:01am Just sorting out the talk, but it looking like it might double this season. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/01/15 at 9:17am Another bargain is the tires and wheels. The IMCA Stock Cars run the same as the Modifieds. Bead lock on the RR only. Any offset is allowed. Siping allowed, grooving not allowed. Wear is good, better than a dirt boss and not as good as a street/ hobby tire.I have bought only a couple new tires for the past 4 seasons. We have had no flats on the track due to racing contact. It can be argued the low car count and the generous sized Hanford track; but I'll enjoy it for now. I get used tires from the modified guys. I don't feel there is a reasonable difference between new and used. And most of the time I just don't have the money anyway: so as they say " it is what it is". I thank Pounds Racing, Larry Wise and Jason Selvedge for the help on tires. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by TiiGuy2002 on 01/01/15 at 3:07pm Great Info Dave. I bought an IMCA Stock car from Chris Hamilton in 2010 and traveled from Northern California (Antioch area) to race at Hanford (Kings Raceway). Well worth the drive, great track,promoter and awesome group of racers. Liked it so much, I bought a second IMCA Stock car....Loren DeArmonds Championship car. The car is more than capable, the driver is still getting there!!! Loren is a friend and an awesome driver. He raced Sport Mods, was IMCA CA State Champ his first year!! Loren has returned to the IMCA Stocks for 2015, watch out..... DeArmond,Childress,Bauer and Troy Patee, there are going to be some fast HotRods and great drivers racing this class in 2015. Racing with and against these guys is great, they race you hard and clean. As a spectator, there is something about watching full fendered street cars racing door to door..... the Bakersfield crowds this last year proved this point. I wish a Nor Cal promoter/track would take on this IMCA class and let the spectators see this class. The cars and rules package are Nationalized and unified!! A step up class for Hobby Stock drivers and you can travel to other tracks and compete on a level surface rules wise. I agree with Chris Swank, this class is on the verge of exploding. By far the most bang for the buck in Dirt Track racing. Check out some IMCA Super National Videos from Boone,IA. IMCA Stocks are the crowd favorite!!!! 2015 looks to be a great year for IMCA Stocks in California. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by Chris Swank on 01/02/15 at 8:48am The IMCA Stock Car 500 carb Engine is The same specs as a claimer Sport Mod engine so you never know Im almost finished building my Sport Mod and just might get a wild hair to build a Stock car. Stranger things have happened ;) |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/04/15 at 12:31am The IMCA Stock Cars news and information are covered at many levels. Our local Faceb00k connection was started last season under the Central Valley Tanks banner. This ID was used at Rockyhill Speedway as to not conflict with IMCA ID. Last year Rockyhill was not sanctioned by IMCA. We will continue to run the CVT flag at Rockyhill and as of now Pat Biggs of Central Valley Tank is sponsoring the Stock Cars at Hanford and Rockyhill. Bako is in the works. Rockyhill will run the CVT class as per the IMCA rules. The schedule, updates, bits of interest will be posted. Here's the faceb00k connection. https://another site/cvtmotorsports |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/04/15 at 7:19pm Great deal considering you can see the car in person and not spend $1700 in gas to get it here. http://www.latemodelracer.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1420388458 |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by Bodacious22 on 01/04/15 at 7:29pm Where is the like button.Really digging this class.Thanks for the info Dave. 8-) |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/05/15 at 10:47pm IMCA allows any chassis in the Stock Cars class except a Mustang and a camaro / firebird. Most all cars in the class run the metric Monte Carlo 1978 to 1988. These have a full frame and coil spring / 4 bar rear suspension. IMCA has accommodated Ford and Mopar by allowing their motors to be installed in the metric frame with the same type body as the motor. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/08/15 at 8:13am The front suspension and steering is simple. All stock as manufactured, except tube upper a arms with the IMCA tax stamp and its mount. Quickeners are allowed. Taller ball joints are ok, no 3 piece. Weight jacks are ok. Heim end shocks are OK, no aluminum or external reservoir. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/14/15 at 9:49pm The rear suspension is basically stock. Ford 9 in floater with disc brakes.

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/17/15 at 11:49am Congrats to Manny for the win. Manny was a visitor to Hanford last season. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/18/15 at 7:16pm Talked to Jimmy Davy at Cocopah today. The Cocopah February races are two 2 day events. Looks like there will be out of state racers attending. Us mid - Cal guys are planning on running with them. Date and how many to be determined. http://www.latemodelracer.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1421277879/0#0 |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/18/15 at 7:19pm Cars from Colorado and Minnesota are planning on running Cocopah. It was also nice to ask about what gears to run and that was it. No problems with rules or rule changes. All on a level playing field. Ahhhh! |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/20/15 at 10:38pm Manny came up to Hanford this season to run with us. Manny gave us a lesson on green for all starts. My crank broke in two; sad to see it go after 12 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghcQgOjzFmI |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by Chris Swank on 01/21/15 at 4:35am To bad that the crankshaft broke that leaf spring set up was bad fast. |

Did the promoter add the Stock Cars to the Winter Challenge series? Usually he has the meek Hobby Stock class running which is plain stupid. The Stock Cars always put on the better show with more cars. |
|
Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/21/15 at 8:09am The Stock Cars are not listed on the schedule. I talked to Jimmy Davy and he said they are running. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by meandyou on 01/21/15 at 9:56am $500 to win and $100 to start for IMCA stocks during Winter N ationals per the website |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/21/15 at 12:16pm Nice pay. I need to get ready. |
|
Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/23/15 at 8:20am You have several transmission options. Powerglide with a direct drive coupler is very popular and the least expensive. For the guys that like manuals the saginaw 3 speed or a muncie 4 speed is used. The clutch can be as small as 7.25 inch in a steel bellhousing. |
|
Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/26/15 at 11:41am The rules are focused on the metric chassis. Good measurements are defined for the placement of the roll cage . Measurements for the halo size, door bars , dash location relative to the engine as well as frame are given. Not much of a gray area. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 01/27/15 at 8:47pm Another incar from Ron. Juan dose a great job of videoing and posting. Dont ask what happened. I'm trying to forget all the DNF's for 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL7viE-eu4M |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 02/01/15 at 7:26pm Been getting a lot of inquiries on the rules. IMCA dot com has the class rules under IMCA Stock Car. Straight forward and they do answer the phone for questions. Looks like it will be a tough year for the Rookie Title. |
|
Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 02/01/15 at 7:32pm So we have 3 official track schedules for 2015. I want to thank Bakersfield , Hanford and Rockyhill for putting out a clean no overlap schedule.It can be done. Pat has the 3 track schedules combined on his CVT Motorsports. Maybe Scott(SNR) could put it on the Street Stocks. |

Title: Re: IMCA Stock Cars Little known facts. Post by DaveBauerSS6 on 02/02/15 at 9:42pm Turkey race at Rockyhill this year. Loren had everyone covered, and Keith Heaslet had me covered. Rick Childress now owns the car that came in second. No yellows. No drama. Race starts at 8.45 http://vimeo.com/113234573 |
