It will be the IMCA rule package nsm

 Sounds good  
   
           But if they were to raise comp. rule mides well run chow rules

Matt, big Difference between an 11.5:1 Gas Motor,& a 13:1+  ALKY  

Cost effective???  WWHAT???  


Compression rule for American stock's at Ocean is more than sufficient for 2bbl carbs and a thousand+ pound lighter car.    Communication between promoters is the key.  They should have their own "Promoter's" banquet and  have a few drinks while they hash out some standards for ALL classes they can live by.  (Sounds a little like NASCAR in the old days).  Jus' sayin'  

" and dont get crashed near as much. "  
could that be because the OLM have 1/3 the car count & 1/2 as many Races as the "A"mods?  

When the IMCA perk disappeared so did the cars. The same thing will happen if sport mods don't go IMCA, but there isn't much that can be done about that.

The problem was half-solved with the crate engine "disappearing" on the OLMs. They need engine power to turn those fat wheels that have so much grip. No power = push mode.

Here's hoping for a decent year for all classes  

Matt, you won't have to buy slugs.... camel humps and a .053 gasket will drop your compression sufficiently.

Im working on changing mine over from a CHOW sport mod to a northern imca sport mod. but need to see what merced and chow is going to do for rules, cause those are my local tracks and if there not going to be close to those rules then what the use. was talking with a buddie of mine and were think if tracks dont want to be called a IMCA track, then they need to follow there rule some,

Heres what we came up with follow all NORTHEN IMCA RULE EXCEPT

1 ENGINE RULE 360 dish or flat top  Maximum compression ratio is 9.0 to 1, no tolerance just be able to run any intake NO CLAIMING But if track dont tech what the use

1 this would keep the cost down, 2 put everyone the big guy and the little guy on the same page 3 if IMCA Sport Mods come from other tracks they wouldn't be out motored, or suspension wouldn't out do there cars.

FEEDBACK would be nice

and just to say something about hobby stock i think most that have been running in the last few years has been out of the rules with chows ruling of add weight for bigger motor has had alot to do with hobbies being out priced or not being fun no more hobby to me now of days is a open comp class, run what u brung

build a IMCA NSM and have fun and not lose you A$$

yup all the guy that came from bako to race at chow for our big money races just whipped our a$s so it not worse it if you our powered IMCA ruling would ply into my favor with a small motor and being within the ruling so im going to keep pushing the issue to go IMCA lol
