Delaware Street Stocks

[FromTheStands]

I know the car your thinking of Carcarjr52, it's a little different. The one off Oxbow is Dionne Verhouvens championship street stock  from 1996

Actually Dion Verhoeven's car is still being raced at Delaware this coming year.

I'm not to sure, this sure looks like Dion's 96
Is this the one you mean Cascarjr52?

That's the one.

Evidently not the same car as the one in the other picture.  But that is the one I drive by!

Hey have u ever woundered in the last few years y there hasnt been any fords out there running in the street stock devision its because u cant beat the GM products with there crate engines. the dodges in the class cant even keep up to the rest of the feild and the only ford registered doesnt show up or just cant keep up and is with the dodges at the back of the pack getting lapped every othere lap. and dont call me a punk.

FYI  that only Ford hasn't shown up due to other reasons and will be back this season.  It kept up a few years back on the lead lap many times with just a 302. The reason isn't  the create engines but making the stock strut front suspension work through the corners.

If memory serves the only one lately to get a ford to work was Kevin Stark and i believe that is his old car.
He had a big motor in it and drove the crap out of it but handle i never though so.

I think he may of been the one that built it, we bought it off of someone else and took us a couple seasons to figure out how to work on it not to mention learning how to drive at Delaware lol.  This yr we will have a good motor and see what happens.

The more I look at this car though, the more I wonder just how long they're going to continue with this fallacy of calling them "Street Stocks"

I think tech has there work cut out for them.

Stock Nova ??:

1 - curved blade on front spoiler
2 - no hood bracing
3 - deflectors added rear wheel wells
4 - deflectors added at base of each window opening
5 - side skirts brought down  below stock position matching front spoiler
6 - fiberglass bumper rear
7 - shelf and deflector added to passenger side window entry
8 - Ventura hood with Nova grille at base of windsheild (cowl induction )
9 - oversized door panels (All seams must stay original)
10- 1" dia. bumper reinforcing


Sure hope the track calls and makes sure they remove the obvious things so there's no "tradeoffs" at the track.

Then again, maybe that's where they're going. Heard there's a cascar chassis coming.

Really? That's interesting. I hadn't heard that one.

Like Cryptid says, there is indeed a former Cascar chassis in Street Stock trim on the way. You might not want to miss the first practice day.

Just Wondering

just to clear some things up, some of the things you listed are allowed, and most cars have, like "1 - curved blade on front spoiler" that was allowed last season as well and a few cars had the deal on there, just has to clear ride height. "8 - Ventura hood with Nova grille at base of windsheild (cowl induction )" Ventura's have the tin work at the bottom of the windshield as the novas, just a slightly different shape, it's not cowl induction unless an air box is sealed up to it, so i don't see anything wrong there. "9 - oversized door panels (All seams must stay original)" door panels aren't much of a concern, not to many cars have factory seamed door panels, truth is, it's way cheaper to buy a sheet of metal to build you're own doors, so a lot of guys would have to re-do door skins for something that has been done for years. "10- 1" dia. bumper reinforcing" theres nothing at all wrong with reinforcing the bumpers, everyone does it, and nobody has ever had a problem with it. I'm not going to comment on the other things, i just figured i'd point this stuff out.

How old of a CASCAR chassis are we talking about here? I'm not a technical wizard like some of you, but what advantage does it have over a traditional Street Stock chassis? If it has to run the SS engine and suspension components, depending on how old it is, what's the advantage? That being said, you shouldn't really be using a CASCAR chassis as a Street Stock when a CASCAR is still legal for the LM division, but what advantage is it going to have?

Blades were allowed, but were not allowed to protrude out past the face of the bumper
"8 - Ventura hood with Nova grille at base of windsheild (cowl induction )" Ventura's have the tin work at the bottom of the windshield as the novas, just a slightly different shape, it's not cowl induction unless an air box is sealed up to it, so i don't see anything wrong there.

The difference between the ventura hood and the nova valence leaves a 1"space at the base of the windshield to allow cold air in. Not legal.

9 - oversized door panels (All seams must stay original)" door panels aren't much of a concern, not to many cars have factory seamed door panels, truth is, it's way cheaper to buy a sheet of metal to build you're own doors, so a lot of guys would have to re-do door skins for something that has been done for years.

Yes but seams must remain in stock locations, not just disappear

"10- 1" dia. bumper reinforcing" theres nothing at all wrong with reinforcing the bumpers, everyone does it, and nobody has ever had a problem with it.

I guess I was referring to the nose reinforcings, these have been limited to 3/4" to cut down on the bulldozers

I'm not going to comment on the other things, i just figured i'd point this stuff out. When a couple of the other cars are seen, things like "original body seams" will seem pretty minor 


I think you right on here, that's why I said they should get rid of the big things before the cars even show up.

-I don't think it was ever discussed about whether or not they could go past the bumper line.
The difference between the ventura hood and the nova valence leaves a 1"space at the base of the windshield to allow cold air in. Not legal. if it leaves a 1" space it's mounted wrong, they have a little different shape to match the hood, but they are the same size, the hoods are different sizes yes, but thats because of the nose. There is no difference in the cowl area except for a minor shape difference, and it's stock anyways, so I don't see how that's illegal, and if the air box isn't sealed to it, no advantage at all.
Yes but seams must remain in stock locations, not just disappear then there is a whole lot of people that are going to have to do a whole lot of body work, my cars always have the seams, but a lot don't, seems like a waste of time raising a fuss over that.
I guess I was referring to the nose reinforcings, these have been limited to 3/4" to cut down on the bulldozerstthey havent said anything to me about the 1" reinforcing, and it has never been a rule, i have no clue where that 3/4" measurement came from, who cares if the cars are bulldozers? 3/4" vs. 1" wouldnt change anything in how I drive,  seems like pretty minor deal to me.
