You guys need to get your facts straight before you start on here and dont look at the Mcoll picture without realizing there are alot of parts on it that cant be used. If you think because it has a fab clip you can compete in LLM your an idiot.

Radios are an option Barrie had them last year.
No three link stock 4 link with stock lower lengths.
Might be allowed to flip sway bar like Barrie does already.
All stock susp. and steering.
Cant screw around with mounting points like guys are with there stock frames so maybe stock frame has advantage.

Not lookin at a fullsize, if the car sells fine if not than i will have 2, maybe i may buy one of the new tube cars, the guys that spend money do it cause they want to win, i dont see how anyone can build a car from scratch with using all new parts for cheap

Nobody is in it for the money, we all loose thats for sure.

But there IS a limit to how much people will bleed out for any hobby.

In other words, the track isnt going to stay open for the 3 or 4 rich people that are left. The richy-rich guys REALLY DO have to take care of their fellow racers interests, to some degree.

I will say ...it cost me more to build a new Gen chassis three years ago then what McColl want for that one..I would buy one...its a great idea. no matter what in life the cost of everything goes up and people will always bitch about it....if you can't afford it get out....in any class

well i would think at the very least the weight balance issue is gone, how about track width? is it oem lowers? has the rule book changed to allow these?
I would think Casale is getting excited to see this my drive back some of his regs?

Looks like i can scratch sunset off my "must try" list........after that race at Flamboro i thought the thunder/super stocks were on the right track, there was a good cross section of cars there, but i guess problems that dont exist need to be solved and guys want to have a late model without buying it........i shouldve just retired instead of building again, all this change going on in Ontario annoys me.

They are designed to be identical to a metric chassis, it will use all the same stuff as what the metrics are, sunset has no track width rule, they were built off a stock spec sheet from merv walt with all the stock pick up poi ts, even the upper and lower a arm mounts are in stock location
