We are going to have a meeting wednesday sept 20th  about the possibility of starting the IMCA stock cars at hanford for the 2007 season. We feel that there is no division to learn in, the step between the hobbies and the streets is too great  ($ and ability) . Most of the guys that run E vs. W can run the mod division, the cost is close, and why not buy or build a car that is legal nationally? We are not  trying to say that "IMCA"  is the the way to go, only to talk and excersize options that will help the growth of our sport. If anyone has any questions please feel free to call me.

I tell you what ,its a fair idea the biggest problem would be camaros are not legal. Maybe IMCA sanctioned hobbys would be a better starting point, basically the type of cars without such a high start up cost. then if the hobbys are successful then interduce(??) the the streets. As there will be some legal cars to move up.

I think it is a great idea, it will keep the rules from changing on a weekly basis and maybe other tracks on the west will adopt the division.

I don't think too many of the hobbys that already exist will be legal for an IMCA class. Has anybody ever looked at the southern sport mod rules. Really close to our hobby rules. Might be cool.

Yes But. How many SS are there for these Races.
30 Tops If your Luck.
Many This could Be the Right Time to Bring something in Like this to Make the Ladder  a Bit more Climbable.

I think if it was done right  Everyone could Run these. And Still Have the EVW cars.

Or  We could Final Come up with some Get Down to the Point Rules for EVW . So Step up to The Plate and Call Them the Limited Late Models.
Specialy When I see a SS Leaf Spring Car WITH 4 SCREW JACKs on the REAR.. 1 For each eye Let ..  STREET??? Where is Street In that


This IMCA think Could Work For most. Just think We could Get More Racers Involved to the Racing.

Ever Looked around at How many IMCA Mod are  around Here. Just think If they all Got to Gather for a GOOD Open Show. Like What WAS anb EVW is Doing. Look Out.

it is Something to think about. Yea you Might Loss Some of the EVW to it But Once thinks Get Going It Might have some Advantages too

Really Should Think about this a Bit More and MORE with a Open Mind...

If it was all done right We/ or Some Track could Put On a Show Like San Jose used to Do...
100+ LM
100+ Mods
100 +SS
For a Open..
NOW That could Be Cool

Pro Mod's and I agree 100%

Nearly without fail, at any track I go to that runs IMCA Stock Cars they put on the best show (and generally draw the most cars).  They are really big in the Midwest (of course there is no existing Super Stock class either.....)

i like the idea of most tarcks in the valley having the same rules....and i think renaming divisions...isnt going to change how people feel about them...just like lee said. i think it would be great for most tracks to have the same rules....that way you can race where ever you want.....ss and lms and mods have this going for them...hobbys...factorys..and americans dont....why not try to fit in with one of these already existing classes? but i really like the idea of haveing track have the same rules

I think the season should just be east west.  This will be our last year running for SMS points.  We will be running strictly EW. I hate racing in 9 car fields.  It will look like a solid class sporting 18 plus cars every night.  Bak/sms are too close together to hold their own series.  When they added the IMCAs to sms it pulled like 5 ss drivers out of the class.  Even the mod classs there only have 11-13 cars so now you just have to 2 low car count divisions.  The answer is better promoting not more classes.  Once the classes have structure then you can fine turn them.

i think all classes should be like supers....if all the promotors would come together and agree apon set rules....like the supers...then it would make it easier...for everyone
