Morrow is not an ACT legal car, and because it is an ACT sanctioned race at new hampshire, they took the top 2 from points that had ACT legal cars, hence why jackson got the invite, as well as mchattie, instead of morrow
Even so, Morrow, in my opinion, he should be 'offered' an invite for winning the championship @ KD. Granted, Morrow doesn't have a car that could go to NH; that doesn't mean he couldn't rent, borrow or fabricate / modify one

The way the rules are set up there are 3 rules "options" for lm and you can't mix and match rules. Option 3 is for llm cars and just because option 1 cars can run multi disc clutches or quickchanges you can't run that stuff with option 3 cars. Option 3 with a built motor or crate the clutch and rocker arm rules are just as they are at sunset, big clutch, 1.5 rockers. They are that way to encourage llm guys to run with what they already have. They are llm cars with a 4 barrel and a weight break if you want to run a multi disk or a rack and pinion or any of the other stuff not legal in llm the car is now in option 1 or 2 which looses the weight break and 4 barrel carb.
Great to see Mercer have a good night, after the season he's had those guys needed that.

RacerRob,
Not sure where you're heading with the question about rocker arms or clutch.
Midnight oil, work and some money fix all the issues.
And even if you are allowed a specific clutch, doesn't mean you change it for the other track. There are some very good quality and light weight 10.5" clutch assemblies out there.
Rocker Arm ratio is an easy fix - again if you really need (or want) to change you can, but doesn't mean he has. The ratio obviously changes the cam profile's behavior. But if it's a decent built motor (Exhibit A: Morrow wins KD Championship) - I doubt he would change rockers...
I agree with everyone else - the weight break and 4 BBL carb is what allows Morrow to compete against the LM's of KD and one hell of a setup. Every time I've seen Morrow run @ KD or Sunset he has the ability to run any groove he so desires - that's what wins races.

if he is racing with a built motor what is he doing with his 1.5 stock rockers because that is the sunset rule that you have to run . also isn't he allowed a double disc clutch at kawartha ? another thing not in the sunset rules.

Well, Morrow didn't go down for the test so I don't know if that therefore then doesn't make him eligiable, but also, I don't know if it's something that he wants to do. Interesting question thou.

does the championship at Kawartha get Morrow an invite to New Hampshire. I see Jackson has one. Justin Holtom from Ottawa as well, he won the CCS championship

I may be missing something here but with the exception of the weight break for the llm Is there really that much difference between the llm and lm?  Dont jump on me for being naive just asking for information to know a little more about them

Morrow has weight breaks and can put on a 4 bbl so his LLM can compete. Congrats and the Championship. BTW 81 Mercer and 20 of Brown rounded out the overall top three at the Sizzler. Great run Merc.

complete congrats to morrow!
but everyone is looking at it the good way. this about this.
he races with the late models at kawartha, and he is competing with llm at sunset. Would that not make the car 'non-legal'? this is the only thing that confuses me:p
food for thought.
good job chris!

True that may be the case at the smaller tracks but Kawartha ain't no small track. Kawartha is a big and fast, you need all the motor you can muster here. Awsome
job on the part of Chris and his crew, great to see that LLM beating up on the big guys. With weight these car CAN run together, how about allowing them to mix at all the tracks ? Common rules and all would be welcome to come and play. Nobody would have to build new cars just everybody equalize what we've got, think of the specials if nobody had to change anything or buy all new tires to rum them.
Delaware already does allow LLM's. In fact, you can run a LLM at Flamboro and Capital City too. Where its all screwy is the opposite, you can't run a LM at LLM regular night events. I agree with everyone else, the weight break and 600 Holley (650 @ Delaware) are the big helpers... Should be a fun race to watch at Sunset - wish I could go (but not for 90 minute drive + $30.00)
