is that why your car is striped to the Frame????

In the new rules this year can you 3 link a camero clip car?

FOR SMS -- YES YOU CAN ............. The new rules for 2010 say, OEM part of frame must measure a Minimum of “20 forward from Screw Jack and a minimum of 20” to rear of screw jack. May modify for Fuel pump, steering shaft, Radiator and shock clearance. May alter for after market upper A-arms.  

You can put either style rear suspension you like (leaf or coil).......... or change it from one to the other if ya' like........as long as it fits the rules for which ever style you are installing

It does not say anything about stock rear frame any more.
Does any body have a copy of the old rules

They got screwjacks on some of the leaf cars on the rear of the spring and there is not 20 inches of frame behind them.

not sure where you got that from unless it was told to you only by sandie. there is nothing in the old rules that state a coil car must have OEM frame to the center of the rear axle.???

CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION:
1. Frame must be full OEM frame rails.
2. Tube type upper adjustable A-arms allowed.
3. Control arm that supports coil spring must be stock.
4. Rear clip may be made of 2" x 3" steel tubing. Tubing must extend to the rear bumper. Rear spring
mounts must be a minimum of 40" apart measured inside to inside.
5. Uni - body cars may tie in frame rails front to rear.
6. Weight jacks are allowed. No weight jacking controls allowed inside of drivers compartment.
7. Racing spring and racing shocks may be used (no coil over or coil over eliminator). Heim end type
shocks OK.
8. No external reservoir shocks, no external adjustable shocks (dials, screws etc.). No aluminum body
shocks allowed.
9. Rebuildable and revalveable shocks allowed.
10. Maximum four shocks allowed on car. 1 shock per wheel only. No shocks over rear end.
11. Leaf spring sliders are allowed.
12. All cars must have original type suspension. Leaf springs on Camaros, Firebirds, Novas; coil
springs on Monte Carlos, Malibus, Oldsmobiles, etc.
13. No mono-leaf springs. No composite.
14. Drivers may remove floorpan, driver must be completely sealed in cockpit, driveline straps strictly
enforced.
15. Adjustable lowering blocks O.K.
16. (NEW) Coil cars can run 3-Links. Solid links only. 20/20 rule. Top bar no longer than 20 inches.
Bottom bar must be a minimum of 20 inches, behind rear end. Car must have had rear coils from the
factory. No 3-link Camaros etc.
17. Coil cars may use adjustable upper links. Lowers must remain stock but may use multi-hole
locations. Offset bolts OK.

Probably here thinking that FULL means OEM all the way to the rear, but may have 2x3 rear section (for damage repair )

Perhaps for Enid,OK or Pevely,MO

whats the deal with the 20/20 rule. what wrong with having 3 links in super stocks. it makes them faster which everyone wants and they are very inexpensive and easy to adjust and built. just my opion.

Yep, sounds like you can.

I thought your third bar is your pull bar

the rules at imperial is a 3 link, stock 4 link or leafs. we run a 3 link with a pull bar and a j bar. the j bar does not count as a link. why won't most rules allow a pull bar? seem like better traction and would make for better racing. just wondering. thanks
