So if your illegal during tech, just threaten to sue the track..

The amount of parts to be found illegal on a latemodel is very few. Because they basically run the best performing parts to start with. Post race inspection found an illegal intake on a street stock a few years ago. That was at Tri City Taking it to the streets race. And they drew a large crowd the next year. If the drivers and car owners want post race inspection then there is no problem with it. It works plain and simple.
 
Back in the 90s when I raced in Denver we had to pre tech and get a tag put on the car the 1st week we raced. Then every week we had to be teched for weight, tires, and safety checked before we raced. Was just part of the game, we went to the track earlier than most do out here in stl. After the races top 5 had to pass post tech. If illegal loss of that finish and all money and points. The following week you better be sure your legal or no money or points again.
The pre tech for safety every week was a pain but it probably saved a couple lives over the years. You would be surprised how many ran old belts or helmets or mount seats or belts wrong.
I see things out here and am surprised there isn't more people killed or seriously injured.
 
Yep, it sure is.. Exactly what they did at Legit last weekend.. A new winner announced today...

Kudos to WP for taking a stand and sticking to their guns. If more tracks and series would do so we'd have more racers and probably spend less money doing it. The fear of making someone mad and plain old favoritism does nothing but hurt the sport.
 
what does that have to do with b mods being dq ed dumbass but you bet your bottom dollar next year will be atleast 3 , more clarification on the b mods
B-Mod A-arm Rule Clarification

Cars disqualified last week under this rule were not for the length of the A-arm stamping or for welding in a screw in sleeve. Those cars A-arms were altered by relocating the ball joint in the A-arm outward which resulted in a longer length from the mounting point to the ball joint. The ball joint was mounted outward in both disqualified arms which as indicated by a tape measure at the track on and off the car and would not fit in the USRA jig in Iowa. This alteration was outside the 15 1/2" spec of the OEM control arm. USRA jig has eyelet hole it has to fall within. Both control arms disqualified last week fell well outside the eyelet of that jig making them 100% illegal. No gray, black and white. The result of the modification intentional or not greatly effects the static and dynamic camber of the car. According to most race car engineers and car builders the number one thing to enhance handling performance of a race car is camber. This type of modification is allowed in Late Models and some other classes, but is restricted by the rules in B-Mod.
USRA Rules Section 8.1 Front suspension must remain stock-type for the type of frame being used. OEM type bushings only. Mono ball or heim style bushings will not be allowed after December 31,2015. One-piece steel, rubber, polyurethane or nylon bushings only. Inner steel sleeve in bushing must be present. Steel aftermarket parts may be used as stock components as long as they mount in the stock location and are the same size as the OEM parts. This includes lower tubular A-frames. If using lower tubular A-frames, must match factory specs. Lower tubular A-frames will bot be allowed after December 31,2015. Bottom A-frames cannot be altered, lightened or moved. Suspension travel limiting devices are not allowed.

Does ump have this same rule for a or b mods? If so were they checked at the $5000 to win race at Brownstown last week? Or checked around here at all this year? Just curious

UMP rule for b mod. Alterations and/or relocation of the lower A-frames will not be permitted. The front suspension must be O.E.M. The drivers I talked to did not have there lower A-arms checked at Brownstown.
 
They probably didn't check them cause it was a local favorite that won. I would have to say they were running them all year and the local tracks don't check them that often.
