lol-- you bet he will

Just on here to get some pointers and some ministocker trying to stir up all kinds of $hit. I myself have had a fast ss o still do just tore it apart to install a new body and noticed it was all busted up in many spots. So i tore it all the way down to straighten it back up and repair it. I have a older metric frame and was thinking about putting it together. I love the class and will never get rid of my ss, wether theres 2 cars or 50. All of us ss drivers could afoard a few ministocks to go racing but there way to slow jmo lol

looks like we are going to have to make some changes to our car if we want to run perris again. once they go with the new rules all the way. or if we want to race anywhere with the west coast series. who can i contact to explain the rules and all questions we have about them.
here are a few questions.
1. can we run any stock bottom link off of any car with links and if so what are the best ones to run?
2. with the 20/20 rule thats for the top bar and the panhard bar correct? because the rules are very hard to understand. if so can the panhard bar be in front of the rearend because its not stated that it cannot be?
3. whats the deal with cast steel, 1 piston brakes?
4. rear spring mounts being 40" apart, is this for leafs or coil springs?

heres one
15. 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.  
16. Coil cars may use adjustable upper links. Lowers must remain stock but may use multi-hole locations. Offset bolts OK

so is it solid links or adjustable links only, wouldn't a pull bar be a adjustable upper link????

i might be dumb or just don't understand all of these rules but like i said if we want to race anywhere else with our car we got to figure something out.

Half those people on your list havent raced for like 5+ years.3/4 quarters of them never even raced East vs West.When was the last time Mark Tull ran a Street Stock, 1999? Dude its 2010.

ryan d , ya it has been that long or longer , but the fact is they quit racing because the rule's changing , changing a rule or rule's cost money , i remember talking to charlie dowdy & he could'nt afforid it & try keep up with the faster car's & the fab chassis's being made , all or alot of these's guy's quit because they could'nt afforid to by a fab chassis or the money to keep up with the rule change's , it's just like propit21 say's the only car's alound to run a 3 link at there track is the coil car's

thank you for the explanation. i understand the rules its just a little confussing on the wording calling a panhard bar a bottom link if you get what am saying. also saying because you have heim it makes it adjustable link is confussing as well because there is not much adjustment except a inch or two of lenght. like i said it kinda sucks because we have raced with alot of you guys at our home track and alot of you guys are very very competive, and the way the rules are for the west coast series we can race with you guys at other tracks because we run swedge tube trailing arms and a j bar and pull bar. we in reality our car is no more of advange then any other super stock/street stock/or pro stock out there.

Again whats the purpose of the the 20 inch upper link and panhard bar why is it that amount?

Also like i said does it make sense that coil cars have to run stock trailing arms and i believe its states stock coils as well, i may be wrong but leaf spring cars can run aftermarket racing leafs and sliders which are not stock?
