In regards to the rules meeting I think everybody should put forward that the changes made or the changes that we want should reflect what each division needs as a whole. I'm not trying to be overly critical but each division is a group and the needs of the "group" are important.generally it's drivers/teams input that puts the screws to the divisions, kind of got the place into the mess it's in.
And above all the most important thing that the technical staff should consider is to develop the philosophy of "Say what your going to do and do what you say"
I don't think we need any more 11th hour rule changes
I agree and disagree, temperance is needed in these times. Why do i even bother? Screw it we might as well just have run what you brung and run the Late models with the Supers, might have dozen cars for next yearI thought it was run what you brung?
For Clarity I would like to make my position on the up coming rules meeting known.
The JWO Racing team does not have an objection with any team particular team. We are not calling anybody out on rules infractions. What we would like to see is a set of rules presented in a matter that is clear and concise with intention of unilateral enforcement. We would like to build a car with the highest regards to the rules and present said car to the Tech Team at Delaware Speedway and be sure we are in full compliance.
Having built a few cars and being involved with many more builds I can say that I would like to build the best car possible to the current rules. If the rules are generally not enforced than why bother taking the time to print them. That maybe an exaggeration but the point I'm trying to make is not.
The rules should be clear and presented in the manner that all the teams are able to take the same advantage of the rules.

Nov 2, 2011
Attention Competitors:
Driver’s meetings originally scheduled for later this month have been postponed. These meetings are planned to be rescheduled before Christmas. We apologize for any inconvenience. Updates to these dates will be announced through the speedway website.
Must be serious to pull the plug at this late date?

Tell us what you really mean?
The postponement must be a changing of the guard, I volunteer to be part of the technical review committee
;) Big things coming down the pipe line....
I hope its not like the big things I send down the pipe every morning :)That's what i'd be betting on
how much does a super stock ford have to weigh at delaware??
it has steel body , auto trans ,rear drum brakes, 351 W with headers ??
They are transplanting Bristol to Delaware and using the Golf course for Parking .....MAN....People and their RUMORS !!!
Maybe mc coll decided owning the tech department wasn't enough and bought the whole track
Or that it will be a meeting instead of a declaration to either like it or lump it.
the current shock rule for LM states the shocks must only cost $ 150 dollars each.. So what manufacture of shocks are the cars running ??most guys are on pros, if not all
:-\ If Delaware management is there Please give us all some reassurance that at least it's going to be some what business as usual ,as per- track opening next year ,we all have things at stake here , cars to be built,sponsors to chase,and the list goes on, not saying any thing hurts alot of people in many ways,guys are trying to decided to build new cars or not and if they wait to long they will not and that could hurt the builders and their lively hood,I know these things take time to work them self's out BUT DON'T WAIT TO LONG We all have alot at stake. Just my 2cents :-\
Just freeze the dam rules with some clean up, this is getting ridiculous. The other post I threw up there was just for example but you'd get the drift anyway.Official Announcement Delaware SpeedwayDa Juice (sometimes known as master of rebuilding an entire superstock Camaro 399 times in a single season) is now Technical / Competition and Chief of Keep em in Line Director at Delaware Speedway for ALL divisions, and ages. He's also the official marketing (fan ass kisser) go boy and announcer for the Speedway. In his SPARE time he will be temporary clean up boy (lawn cutter, garbage collector that sort of thing) for the entire property.
Please Welcome JWORACING to his new job!
Oh wait...did I speak too soon? :) :) :) :):):)
I hope Delaware listens to you Jay and sends out some sort of message soon. I know it must be a big change to be silent this long! I really, really hope the "Specials Only" is not an option. I would lose interest quickly in that. look what happened to Cayuga when they went "Specials Only". I think you really lose the hardcore fan as they find racing elsewhere on a weekly basis. The longer they wait and worse the rumours get.Heres my guess..run 10 this year 7 next year 5 year after......before you know it its gone....GOLF course......golfers dont like NOISE OF RACE CARS.....guy that owns delaware owns the golf course .........BYE BYE DELLY
While I am known for my longer statements on these boards, I’ll keep this one short:
I am sorry I haven’t / won’t be able to respond with greater details, but rumor mill: slow yourself down. This can be especially difficult in the age of instant communication and instant information. I cannot guarantee when you will have the detailed information you are looking for but sit tight, things are fine.

Are you still an employee, and if all is so well why don't we hear anything?
Well last year we had them later in the offseason and they were rewritten in march so waht difference does it make?

Do ya really think he'd be posting like this if he wasn't?
This whole thing is like the Kevin/Amy debacle about 5 years ago. The sky was supposed to fall then too. Surprise. It didn't.
I have no earthly idea why you wouldn't just carry on business as usual until you hear otherwise. If it was me I'd maybe hold off IF I was building a brand new car....but how many guys are really doing that?
And if you're taking rumor and hearsay, and then taking it and TELLING your sponsors that there might be potential issues at the speedway before anything's even been announced...welll, you dug that hole yourself.
Sorry to be blunt. But this thread is messed up.
I know it's slowing down work I have to do for other teams this winter, not too pumped about a spring thrash.Are you still an employee, and if all is so well why don't we hear anything?

You might be surprised how many new Super Stocks are being built or having complete overhauls
I guess this answers a lot of questions .....nah, everybody has assumed that was coming for a while now, there's more going on.
