In racing there will always be those people that have the money and desire to over spend on a race car and there will always be those people willing to help them do it. If you sit around and worry about them you are wasting your time and energy. With MMSA's rule sheet as I read it now, we have room for both pocket book racers and us poor folk. We poor folks will be doing it with that stuff that is real-real hard to buy, and having just as much fun. For the right pocket book I am available and I will throw in the BS for free!! I will be happy to show you how to make a "SMALL FORTUNE IN RACING" all you will need will be>>>> a Large Fortune to start with. Honest Dad himself

From what im being told Through pm's AMSA's website will be updated to the new waynesfield rules. and will be enforced at his other races in which it appears he has 4 of those. What Waynesfield does is of no concern to me. We thought about going there a couple of times but its a long haul for us. We plan to stay in Indiana but they are making that hard as well. Unless we go out and buy another engine (again expensive) Grandfather them in for a year or so when mine goes i will get a 1000. But I dont have any money trees in my yard and im sure the other guys this is hurting dont either. If i cant race this engine then mine will stay parked i have no other choice. to just up and throw a rule out like this is just plain silly. some people think we are complaining well thats not true this was thrown at us at the last minute. No one wants to just blow money. Again the newer 1000's are not at a disadvantage. But it seems like we are beating a dead horse its a shame. We should of be givin some time to work this rule in with Amsa. We had planned to run some with them here in Indiana. As far as the Mechanical injection rule I agree with the Bradleys. Im sure we will race at a couple places this year that will be happy to take all our pit pass money. I have no hard feelings about it and will not lose sleep its just silly. Like i said i have met alot of good people in this kind of racing and hope to meet more. Its fun and something my family loves to do. I brought my kids up in racing and plan to help with the grandkids of which i have five. I just love racing period. By the way if you spend 25,000 on one of these car i think its time to move up or you have to much money lol

Since everyone is in a deep discussion about rules, I've got one for everyone to discuss... Centerline rules... Most are measured from absolute center of engine, and from what I read in most rules the centerline of the frame ... I believe most allow 6" of offset... Now when they enforce or check these rules most measure the firewall.. However that is not the center of the frame. Center of frame should be from the widest point most likely the torsion tubes or on coil cars the outer most shock mounts. Discuss... Cars get wider and longer every year. Takes more car for more motor .
If rules were enforced there wouldn't be a need for 25k dollar cars. Posted via Mobile Device |

You can take that new 25,000 dollar henchcraft and run Waynesfield, AMSA or MMSA. Where is the lower cost of minisprint racing? To lower the cost you would have to address the chassis cost as well as engine. Banning the old engines and mechanical injection did not do anything to lower the cost. My car i reworked myself and i have about 5,000 total in it. O and thats with a trailer i bought.

I agree people who are going to spend lots of money there is nothing we can do about that. Im not complaining about what people spend nor do i care. "its thier money do what they want with it" I just ment i have never met anyone with one but we are new. Its that way in other racing that we have done and it will always be that way. How do you change that with just the engine rule? Now you made me think im going out a measuring my offset.

Didn't Allen's cars have a kick in the left rail to move motor out? that would be widest part of frame as a welded unit I would think. Bring a lawyer with you on your crew. That would depend on your definition of frame. Honest Dad himself |
