Doesn't matter what I believe, the car is built already and that is what we had to work with. I am pleased with how it came out regardless.


BTW, I don't care if the camaros put on a 3 link either I was just stating how I read the rule.


Aren't 82 +  Camaros 3 links from  the factory?



Yep, with a torque arm, just put the unibody with the struts on the car and run em

I think the car should be required to be sprung as originally equipped, leafs must be leafs, coils=coils

It should be a commitment to run one or the other, not change to which ever one suites your fancy, in a weekend's work

I like the 3-link rule & I think they should do away with the stock lower & 20/20 rules. Also let the 3-links at least use a biscut on the upper link. I agree with the pull bar rule, but I think the rules should be opened up a little. Might just get a better car count. The leaf spring cars have proved to be the dominant cars the last several years on any kind of track surface. Give the 3-links a little more to work with.


Have you seen 3d? Yea let's give him more,if they let those cars runs a biscut pull bar then let the leaf runs do it also and let us float the rearends.
When did this rule change?
I thought the only changes made were,tire,carb,and cubic inch?
Where can you find the new rules for the southern SS at?

what rules are you looking for here are a couple links to imperial valley speedway and barona speedway rules
http://www.swraracing.net/Pro_Stock_Rules.html
a few rules that have changed that aren't mention is the dirt bozz tire and racing trans ie falcon, brinn are allowed.

http://www.baronaspeedway.com/2010rules/Pro_Stocks2010.pdf
http://www.baronaspeedway.com/track-div.htm

i say open the rules get cars out there that are fast and competive, it makes for better racing.

The rules I was talking about were bako SMS rules but thanks,I myself thought last years rule were great and should have been left alone exept for the falcon change,I like that for selfish reasons which is what most racers do we think of what's best for us not the division, I think to many changes to often is the biggest killer of any division rules should be locked for 5 years at a time exept for safety improvements.
We have new cars coming out everyweek lately and still more being built ,that would kill these guys if our track said ok this week were changing this this and this after these cars just spent there hard earned money on last weeks items it would kill a class

I disagree, It works fine after you figure it out and is pretty even to the leaf cars. Open it up and you will have the same amount of leaf cars that the mods do right now.....zero. It is fair the way it is

not the lower trailing arms, those are to be left stock for year make and model, the 20/20 applies to the 3rd link and the panhard bar

i think what everyone has been trying to tell you is that the rules are not changing, they were already written that way for the WCSS.

only nobody noticed until the "Rath of Hog" came down on them.

in my opinion, and this is only my opinion, the leaf cars had a much better chance on the Bozz tire. with less tire, comes the need for better mechanical traction. hence the adjustability of the 3-link.
leaving the leaf cars in the dust.
once again....JMO....i could be wrong! lol

Geeez ministocker56 ---- if you spent a little more time reading and a little less time running your mouth, you would know when this rule went into effect, and you wouldn't look so silly.  Here ya go, so you can catch up, read the post below.  Read who posted it and the date it was posted.

p.s.  I'm still waiting for the names of those 4 to 6 guys that you know that quit because of the rule changes.  I'd really like to talk to them.....................

I think it all remains to be seen.  The winning coil car out there has only been out once (and won).  We need to see a good running coil car a few more times to see if this tire change really shifted the advantage to their court.  Time will tell............
