Some of the topic that were look at for 07 rules none of the statements below are set Yet rules meeting by the 14 paid members will be voting on this at the Jan meeting post your Ideas so we can look at them before the next meeting.

Vac in 200 class - 15 at 800 or 17 at 800?? we use the rule for class 300 now 15 at 1000

big block in 1/2 ton bronco blazer short bed in 200 class drags.

Bigger carb in class 300 ( any thing but 4500 flange) rule is 750 vac secondary now

No exhaust in 300 - basic full exhaust now

No windows in 500 or lex-an front?

combining class in the bog? class 200 and 300? 400 and 500 or 500 and 600 or 600-700-800??

Chain drives in 600

Like Sam said, these rules are not set yet. Club members will be voting on the rules Sam has above. One not mentioned above is possibly getting rid of class 400.

Here we are again starting the new year out with a rules meeting again. When this rules meeting takes place I would like to see the club put together rules that allow other club trucks to join our races and fit our classes. If there are any other clubs out their and have any suggestion on rules that would bring your trucks to our races speak up this is your chance to making some kind of organized rules that would allow you to race in other areas, without the problem of not fitting their rules and be put up in a class you don't belong in. SPEAK UP WE CAN TAKE IT

hillbillyhotrod hang on there now don't go cutting off the exhaust yet these are just ideas that was mentioned at our last meeting but remember most place i race at that was like our class 300 required exhaust . our idea behind this is a lot of racers show up without mufflers and are put in class 400 where they don't belong but to throw away your exhaust could hurt you in other area clubs

[samlam]

As far as taking a class out, that was mentioned but I did not think you guys were serious - Please explain to me how that will help get racers to come to our races I did not see any 1 class that has a great turn out - All class had low entys at one point or another during last years races, I have them all on tape if you would like to see them.

Why would a guy with an OEM Iron headed engine and a full size truck with no real traction device want to race against a truck with Aluminum heads and traction ass, Mid sized truck with no side or back windows? etc.

And why would a truck that meets class 500 rules want to race against a truck that was fully gutted no glass no fire wall to speak of - driver and Cab location changed stretched out 4 linked, chain driven etc , etc.

Why would we want to push people Up a class or down a class What benefit do we get out of this only one I see is bigger classes? if they come back.

I think we have one of the best sets of rules out there, a bit of tweaking and we should be fine. Why the drastic change when we have been using this set of rules for many years many people have built to the rules now and they are so close to all other rules MNRO/ Shelbyville/ Morocco/ NEMIRA/ Roodhouse.

I believe back in January of 2006 we had a club meeting on rules and this new class was brought up on a trial bases and from what I see right now it didn't work I was also told if I built a truck to these rules I would be a dam fool not knowing weather or not if this class would be here in the future. The truck we are talking about always raced the next class up also and did quite well I believe. Getting rid of the class might not be the answer but coming up with a idea on building bigger classes that result in larger payout to the racer and not costing the club is my concern . If we our going to try combining the bog classes whats wrong with doing the same with some of the drag classes

[samlam]

I guess I need to get the entrys from the class from all the races this year and see if U are correct, But I know for a Fact that the Truck in question is not the only non vac pulling Iron headded full size truck out there.

We are not the only ones that have such a class, THe NMRO seem to think it is needed on a nat level and Shelbyville/ and NEMIRA/ Morroco all have this class Why would we want to be the only track that did not have it???

[samlam]

Forcing this type truck into our class 500 most likely would run them off or make them recam and change carbs and go down a class, As far as the bog ( combining classes) that was brought up because it was thought that it did not matter as much when you are seeing with how far you get in a slop hole as apposed to .000 of a second on the timer system there is a big difference in a bog and a drag? if not we would need our timing lights on the bog and not stop watches and I guess that would Just be a deep drag . We were looking for ways to speed up the bog I did not know we had problems with time in the drags

[samlam]

Also class 3 guys like to jump up and run a nother class Boy would they be out classed if they had to run in class 500

[samlam]

Well I gotta go Im off work soon I will read more Monday Have a great weeken stay away from the beer it makes you think crazy things

[WILLIE]

Sqam so that explains it you have been drinking at work again ;D

[WILLIE]

If a 300 truck would move up a class he should expect to loose or should a stock class truck be able to win class 300 400 500 600 ect


You got my point, move up 1 class and be able to compete but not win unless there are just the right conditions, I remember this same topic before and it is still the same answer. If a lower class truck wins an upper class its not because it is faster than a truck that belongs in that class, he or she had to get lucky, by either the faster trucks broke, had a bad pass or did not show up. I have see all three things happen many times.
