actually 700 600 500 400 300 275 250 225 200  is more the scale that works

http://www.imca.com/rules.php?divisionid=3


A easy link to the rules. And yes everyone is right the street stock cars that are out there are to far gone .Thats why I bought up the IMCA hobby idea Same type of cars with more rules. Build the IMCA hobbys up then ask if the drivers want to step up to a IMCA street.

And as far as the purse look at the modifed purses for the same tracks Im sure there not that much higher than the streets  yet Im sure there car count on a weeknight beats our counts for a SAT night

BOSNEYERACIN

That is the one of the reason why I say go with the IMCA hobbys ,to build a field of cars that can be converted(easily) to IMCA street specs without taking directly any cars away from the super streets, hobbys for factory/american stocks.

If the IMCA format works good for the hobbys than expand to the streets and see how well that works. BABY STEPS

but keep our streets for now it would be great if imca just recognize the fact that almost all the street stocks on the west coast are leaf spring cars and come up with a division for leaf spring cars like they did for the stock car class that is all coil spring cars

i was just checking out the northern sport mod rules for imca check it out and lets see what every one thinks

I can not believe  you are nieve enough to be believe in what you just wrote!! The rules for the the E v W series are set for 3 years.Why don't you com out and say who you are?  Pretty easy to spout crap behind a screen name........Oh ya  lets make 60 Street Stocks illegal with a decision ....makes a lot of sense    NOT     IMHO

DAVE.you must not have  seen my name and phone # At the end of last post. 559 583 6965 Chris.PS HOPE TO SEE YOU WED.

Call em what you want. Street cars now days have air ride and computers. As long as we're on a street tire (DOT) and have fenders we're a Street Stock. If we go to a non DOT tire and/or run without fenders the name change is in order. Hanford can make the E vs W cars illeagal if they would like, it's their track. I hope they don't. Some of us have made the move back from Mods and Late models to what I think is an affordable and competitive class. Someone should talk to Marion Collins(SP) from Mesa Marin, I think they divided their SS into two different groups out there, and see how it worked for them. Why go down the same path when you can just ask someone how it worked out?

Facts and opinions:
We (23) will continue to support the E vs W in 2007.
Some rules do need to be looked into further.
The 2nd year of E vs W and 1st year of united rules between SMS and Bako has been a success in my opinion.
I got a lot of experience driving an IMCA mod, and don't mean any disrespect to IMCA and specially not to Paul Vetter.
The IMCA SS class could be a good thing, but honestly, I won't build one.
If I move from this division it will be to the WAS or to the go kart track with my kids.

i thought this was for a hobby type class....not to replace the ss. i ike the ss now....and most of the cars in the class look and run like ss "should" but there are a few that look like the lms and all that crap....but dont put everyone in that catagory...its racing there are going to be those who want to bend the rules and try to find there way around them so that they can have that edge.....it is the other drivers jobs as well as the officials to keep the grey areas out of it. the problem is that there will always be grey areas....and its not just in the ss...the hobbies and the americans are doing the same thing.....theres always people tring to bend the rules that little bit.....the evw was a good thing and there is always going to be issues....but what happened to finding a class for intermediate racing? i thought thats what this was for?

Doesn't seem like a good idea to start a new class, when the tracks in California are having a hard time filling the classes they already have.

Unless it will be replacing a class.

Reminder meeting tonight at Hanford Towing at 5:30. If you have any questions or need directions please call me or Chris.
