I guess you can now, but originally, the only thing that was changed was the tire, the cubes and tranny for 2010 and beyond.

I believe I remember CK stating that the rules were left just as EvW had them, with the exception of the tire and the 4bbl and the brinn option.

In which case there was a no mix and match coils must remain coils, leafs=leafs

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.

So the rule on the bottom bar? 20" min on the lower trailing arms or 20" on the panhard bar? To me, the bottom bar is the lower trailing arm. Not very well written.

no, the panhard and the upper link fall under the 20" rule, the lower trailing arms must be stock.

A metric lower is about 19-3/4 (I think), our full size A body lowers are well over 20" long, but are stock and factory correct for year make and model of the chassis

Sooooo, with a Camaro front clip, I can run ANY lower bar as long as it's a stock bar out of a street car? What's the difference between a stock lower & an after market lower? They both do the same dang thing. Why not just make the rule for a 20" lower trailing arm? Wouldn't they be cheaper & less work?

The modification to the front clip rule and the coil=coil/leaf=leaf, came about at the same time all the other rule changes did.  I just think they sorta got overlooked due to all the conversation about the tire, cubes, 4bbl, and tranny.  There was also a clearification on the MSD protest wording that used to be a mess......

We should just go mono-leaf, coil-over, rack and pinion, pull bar, quick change, 4 bar, swing arm, z-link, wide 5's, dry sump,  etc..

and just call it a day

Actually Imagineering is a word that was coined in 1952 by Walt Disney. Instead of a Engineering department, Disney has an Imagineering department to design and build all of its rides. And I would say that the 3D is one awesome ride!

Dave, after reading Tim's post looks like you need to order 4 springs and 3 shocks. We're all screwed up!!! Might want to get a new rearend housing, change the FT end setup, 3 new wheels..... just build a new one and hire Tim instead of Paul to build it.


bring it on over to bakersfield. i got a new pack of hacksaw blades, a big hammer, a long bar, a bunch of old paint brushes (to match the paint, if you want me to use rollers you have to supply them) and a arch welder. i can have it ready for ya by the last race. in 2015.

I,m happy with the PILE that I drive, so just come out and race with yours and we won't have to hear about car count anymore. Only 7 mods in Bako last week so rules are not the ONLY problem in this economy. JMO

OK -- Greg, I have done my best to have a logical debat with you, and it seems that you are not able to understand anything I say.   You seem to think the rules for the SS class have been changed sometime after the season started and it is just not true.  I even gave you a link to go to, that shows when the rules were posted on this forum by the track promoter, and you are still under the false impression that something has changed since the season started.  Again THERE HAVE BEEN NO RULES CHANGED OR MODIFIED SINCE THE SEASON STARTED !!! It is not likely that you will be able to understand this post either, so you have a good life, I am pretty much done with this conversation.

Rich Denman did not get out of the class due to any rule changes! He sold his car when he tried to move to Tennessee. People need to get their facts straight!!  I have yet to see that ONE rule has been changed since the start of the season. CK made it clear last fall what the rule changes were going to be!  Man some people just don't get it Old School!
