pure stocks like farmington would be a good ideal to keep because malden and the bluff cars could run but if the new class your talking about is the factory stock like belle clair and granite , that would probably work out to be good also because they will be at i55 in 2012 full time and i am currently building several new chassis for customers who said they would run at the rock and i55and this class is much more affordable then farms purestock so just run both, body rules and engine rules are alot different so it makes it affordable again without a guy starting in the 4cyl. both classes would work. different tires also by the way. Terry Flanigan was a heck of a guy, like to see him around again, Curly and Ann are great for just trying to make an attempt that none of us have!JMO BRIAN WORLEY
The reason to go to purestock rules, ie Belleville rules, is to lower the cost of the cars. That being said, the rest of this isnt aimed at you...... Farmington rules have been evolving slowly toward a sportsmen car on step at a time. Its happened this way twice since 1987 whne I started going there. You enter upon the scene with an affordable stock type chassis, and body, then you have one new part or rule changed every year or two.. Who makes these suggestions? The guys running the cars... What happens? in 5 to 10 years you have a class that is totally different than what it was originally, and most evryone who started the class in the early days, can no longer afford to run due to increase in costs. Hence the class dies.. Case in point sportsman/limited latemodels from the 80's and early 90's. If you werent there to see it dont comment!!!!Then the streetstock class that started in the 90's. Ask John Bohn how close to stock his ugly white Chevelle was that first year?? Then, came aftermarket this, and modified that, and then aftermarket bodies, then conversion to sportsmen to attract more cars from Pevely. Why? because they were losing car count.....Why? because the racers were out dollaring themselves, and going broke, or not being able to compete with guys that could spend the $$. Therefore the class died....Thats 2 sportsman classes in since 88 that went by the wayside do to NOT sticking to a set of rules.. Whos to blame? The track or the racers?? Both!! Has allied had this problem with the purestock class?? Not yet... Why? the rules remain the rules with very little variation. i remeber watching these cars in the 90's at Belleville... Same basic class, good shows, good car count...jmo and a ideal to pass on is run farmington pure stock rules and purse ,factory stock (allied) purse, pro 4,and jr 4cyl and you have 4 classes possible vintage or go karts every now and then or whatever for another class every now and then and your four main classes as mentioned will make the purse through the pit gate and concessions and grand stands should cover the rest with possible profit but just my opinion ,that keeps your purses normal for those classes without being costly in that dept for the track. but i could be wrong. lets hope it opens first!
