Imca And Ump Modified

[hornet51]

Can Any One Help Me Out What Is The Difference Between An Imca And Ump Modified?

 

[justrunem14]

IMCA and UMP are just Sanction Bodies for Modifieds. Rules are a little different i do believe.

 

[hornet51]

so could i run a hoffman modified under ump rules since it is a imca chassis

 

[justrunem14]

Id imagine as long as it is safe and built well. Hoffman is probaly just the name of the chasis as is Pierce Race Cars or Dirtworks.

There are a few Hoffman cars racing around at area UMP tracks. The main difference in UMP and IMCA are these rules:

Different tires, UMP allows aluminum heads and there are some minor differences in body rules. UMP will also allow spoilers in 2007.

 

[hornet51]

so i should look at the rules to see if there is a difference in chassis rules or what should i do?

 

[justrunem14]

Check your body rules. As long as you have a steel block motor you should be able to run UMP.

what kind of engine do you think would be best for highland speedway or any where but mostly at highland. what kind of tranny should i use a powerglide or a berts?

 

[justrunem14]

Id say a good 350 or 383, possibly with aluminum heads with a Bert.

 

[hornet51]

i heard that if you want to win at highland you should at least have a 400 is that true

 

[justrunem14]

Jim Werner Jr. won with a 350 a few times and ran up front a lot throughout the year.

myself have always been impressed with the 377 couse it is a high reving motor and they make great torque and horsepower....

the difference between imca and ump is just a few rules,to better understand,typically imca sanctioned cars run a hard tire,all steel motors,and you must have a door plate on the chassis and they requiore a fiberglass roof...

now ump rules you can run aluminum heads,aluminum roofs,cannot run spolers and you do not have to have a door plate.typically ump is more open in the motor area..

you can run most any modified in either one of the sanctions weather it be ump or imca,if you run imca and your car doesnt have a door plate,you can just byu a peice of steel and rivet it in place to make it legal,nothing big.

as far as highland and a motor,build a good 383 or 388 and you'll be plenty fine.hope this helps!
