Not just DRC's. There is a hell of a lot of cars out there that do not follow the rules or the rules that appear out of nowhere. Every year usac would publish a rule book do they still? If they do when was the rule changed. And for you car owners out there, has USAC checked your car this year or any year?? I am betting is a big No. You would think that this would have been brought up at the comp meetings. I mean the car builder in question does go to thoses. He does ask questions. Hell he goes to lengths to make sure his cars are safer. Have you seen the cockpits and cages on his sprint cars and expecially his crown cars. He almost refused to sell me a car cause I didn't want an arm bar on the left side. The uprights are made of thicker wall tubing than what is "suggested" for the main reason of just pure driver safety. So why the ball busting over a car that is not woo legal i didnt know usac took the woo rulebook and "copy and pasted it". The car that won the championship and 14 usac races last year has .095 bottom rails. It's not like .083 is that huge advantage. If usac says .083 is okay for a motor plate upright it's damn sure good enough for a bottom rail. While my time at beast I did learn alot and I also saw rules made to fit cars and bodys not the other way around. No one has noticed a difference for 13 years now are we just supposed to make 13 years of cars illegal. Not going to happen. If you want to run a Woo race let Joe know I'm sure it will fit the rulebook of whatever series you want to run.
