If they are looking at using a body template....again I ask why? is drafting really part of Ontario short track racing?

Posted by: slapdown« on: March 06, 2007, 10:09:59 AM »I think the rule is ABC bodies are mandatory now although the rule has been grandfathered in so cars like the 10B ( Camaro ) can keep using the body until he decides to get a new one. Not sure how long this grandfather clause will last but can't see Derek allowing Kelly to run it for too much longer. Notice he is registered at Sauble for the specials though.

Posted by: race_ready_2004« on: March 05, 2007, 09:29:42 PM »slapdown...have you heard any rumours regarding a body style change for the LMs?
Posted by: slapdown« on: February 22, 2007, 07:52:59 AM »No Morgan wasn't hired to drive, although the person who was rumored to be the owner is helping Dave with the car and some possible sponsorship capacitiy. Don't know how many LMs will be there every week. I'd guess 10 to 12. A couple have left and a couple more are running LLM this season.
Posted by: latemodel28« on: February 21, 2007, 07:04:22 PM »i dont believe the transition will be that bad between the two..correct me if im wrong but the l.m are running the ZZ4 crate engines(same as barrie) with the 4 barrel??? all they would have to do is take off the 4 barrel. now as for handling that will depend on a few factors such as if lm are running a BBSS setup which is not a lowed in llm. now this could not be done anywhere else, like flamboro..so these cars would be limited to one track.

Posted by: slapdown« on: January 15, 2007, 11:29:33 PM »Sumguy, I haven't seen the letter but I was told that the class merge was mentioned in the letter. I'll try to get a copy of it and let you know.
Posted by: amr_dmr« on: January 15, 2007, 11:17:44 PM »its a fast car no matter which way u look at it what other car has one 3 Alstar championships, the flamboro triple crown, and more big races i dunno its a fast car i think it will keep up to all coil over cars out there
Posted by: yaya« on: January 15, 2007, 10:21:00 PM »Just my opinion no need to get upset! I just figured with Kawartha going in the direction of ACT with the coil over suspension that a camaro style front end would not be the best route to go in the future!
Posted by: sumguy« on: January 15, 2007, 09:20:32 PM »Hey Slapdown could you tell us just what was said in this letter? I recieved my rules/ registration form package in the mail, but there was nothing in there about combining the classes. Was this something that just went out to the Late Model teams?
Posted by: amr_dmr« on: January 15, 2007, 07:32:55 PM »Quote from: "yaya" Why would Morgan purchase Thompsons Alstar car? it is a great car but it is already outdated to Kawartha rules , he didnt even bring it there for the specials. Seems like money wasted to me! How is it out dated? Mc Coll said it him self best car ever made, Thompsons said it himself i would race this car over any other car i have driven, it is ACT legal has the best of everything and only reason that Thompson didn't race it at the specails was because he was in the lead in points in ALSTAR and didn't want to wreck that car which would wreck his campoinship i wanna know why u think its such a waist of money!!! Posted by: sumguy« on: January 15, 2007, 02:12:30 PM »I don't agree that it needs to be done. The LLM class has had incredible growth in the few years of it's existence and is the top class at many Ontario tracks, providing good racing and (at most tracks) good fields. I can't really see too many LLM teams wanting to upgrade to LM specs, nor many LM teams wanting to come down to LLM rules. I also don't agree that most of the front running LLM teams could afford to make a move to LM; maybe a few could,but most are at their limit now. They may be able to move up, but not likely compete for a win. Everyone wants to at least have a chance to win, I can't see many being in too big a hurry to give that up. Maybe when the details of this come out it will make sense, but I can't see it. I don't see any way that a move like this can be made without it being at the expense of the teams in one class or the other and that's simply not right; they're all where they choose to be, they didn't ask for this, why should they be faced with expensive changes and possibly no longer being competetive for something they don't even want?
