Ive thought this for a while, but with some rule changes, they could really make it somewhat possible to run a car on both dirt and pavement. If they would make a offset rule and make motors be on center, instead of a inch offset. Also set a minimum engine height rule, say 7 inches.. That is the lowest you can run a engine in most dirt cars. Right now they have engines down at 5 3/4 or 6 inches for pavement. They could also make a driveline length rule, and it could be maximum 41 inches, which is the longest of most dirt cars. Right now I think pavement cars are around 46 inches. Those three rules could really make the chances of running a car competitively on both dirt and pavement much better. Im sure there would be teams that still build a pavement only car, but It would not be a huge advantage like it is now. They definately need to make a rule to run right side tires all night also.. How cool would it be to see races at ORP like they were back on thunder, see Paul Hazens 57 running on pavement with dirt still on it from Gas City the night before lol... I know it wont ever happen, but it would be cool..
