Tri City Speedway put a B Mod rule package to accommodate other tracks within a 100 mile radius, meaning that racer's from other tracks would be legal to run at Tri City. We've had great car counts using these rules.
to even out the bmod motors they need a good claim rule, sense 602 crate motors can be bought for 3500$ new running on 4 barrel carbs, we should be able to claim/buy any guys motor for 2500$ minus carb/exhaust headers, as well as any motor should be able to get claimed/bought for that, for the motors been put in the car and ran for some race laps so with depreciation values figured in at about 2500$, a -minus 1000$ is about right to give to the pit shack to buy any competitors motor or else they should be flat out dq for not building a motor within respectable means of the class, should it happen a protester protest with the funds regardless of of how many cops, sheriff's and track officials needed to haul such a protested outSome of the rules say Open motors must strap on the weight or that Crates get spoilers. What rules would people rather see to "Even" out the motors. OR does there not need to be any "Rule Breaks" for crates?
I think that ALL of the B mod engines should be on a gauge legal 4412 carburetor crate or not. Forget about the seals, weight breaks and other bull that goes along with the crate engine and go to something that the track can police easily.
The Allied Sportsman engine rules package would have also worked very well.
I said that years ago and got laughed at,,In about 10 more years,,, not gonna be any racingWhy not just hand out restrictor plates? Wouldn't that be easier and cheaper to tech?
Figure it would take no time to make with a drill press, cost next to nothing and for tech just swap em around. As long as the mounting flanges match right?
Each week winner gives his restrictor plate to last place
And maybe mandate a chip rule with it?
But I'm no racer. Just an engineering student who loves racing
A restrictor plate(square edge orifice) can be made simply but they are not easy to make consistently so that all of the plates have nearly identical CD. Very small variations in the shape of the edge of the hole, the thickness of the plate, machining marks, hole ID, location etc can all have very large influences in the flow available.
Even with computerized machines of today? Just asking.
