I dont believe this place...... you guys can turn anything into a shitfight. Unbelieveable.

Well said Dingo

[goofy23]

Maybe Walter Bloomquist will come back out of retirement and show you what a steel block can do!!!

Abe Vagoda, Scruffy1a, and Turkeysub call in the master!!!

OMG how did I forget about Walter he sure did kick a lot a ass back in the day!!

[Dirttrackrocker]

really does anyone here believe a steel block can compete with a real late model? yes the top 4 or 5 steel block guys in the area will beat the yoyo's that shouldn't be in a latemodel anyhow! and may upset a good latemodel once in a great while... but steel blocks around here, even the best ones will NEVER win against miley,satterlee, chub,bloomer or owens on a regular basis!! anyone on here that don't realize this ain't to bright........That said I don't think the big name guys will race here anyways,, but like said here before theres always one guy that will spend 10 billion dollars just to win there

The guys you named won't be there unless it's a big money race, so what's your point??

Out of curiosity, who in ARP'S immediate area other than Denny Fenton and Andrew Gordon have aluminum block motors in supers.

didnt this track always run steel and open motor latemodels together, cant remember any complaining before

[51Rahmer]

I agree, i dont know what all the complaining is about. Almost all tracks have some steel block cars that try to run with the super lates. Look at the rundowns from Dog, Clinton, and others there is always some SB guys. And at look at Thunder Valley this year, there was probably almost half the field steel block some nights.

Well back in the days of Gamblers, many northern drivers like Rich Gardner Dave Scott Ron Davies and others came down and raced often at that track. I would say a lot of Clinton Co cars will be there too.

hummingbird ran steel and aluminum block motors together this year

[buckboard]

My question is about this "limited late/semi late class. If this is a class to bridge the gap between street stock and late model, then whats up with these silly engine specifications? I wouldn't even think about building or racing such a wimpy motor. Why not just use the street stock engine rules for this class? That way, if you are moving up from street stock you don't have to build a whole new engine... jmo.

[Chuck Stevens]

Buckboard,I wish you could have attended the meeting then I would not have to answer this question again.At the meeting Jeff explained to everyone that he first wanted to try and bring the street stocks or the pure stocks back the way it was supposed to be,a class that someone could afford to go racing.Realizing that was impossible and that would be reinventing the wheel,that idea was shelved.The next best thing they thought would be try and start an inexpensive class were there were plenty of older chassis's and motor someone could put together for under 5000.00 dollars.It was never intended to be stepping class to super late models.I hope that answers your questions.

Thank you Chuck for answering this question and so promptly! I understand now and I hope I didn't seem out of line. I do have a late model that will be racing at your facility. But I have another late model and a street stock as well and I was just trying to get My ducks in a row to see which other car I may bring.
Again thank you, Buckboard

P.S- I was at the meeting at the Moose in Curwensville but it was a little hard to hear, my bad.

[CHEVY1A]

Did they say how many cars will be starting the feature in each class? Just wondering since its a small track?

[CHEVY1A]

Did they run alum/steel together all year or just for specials?

[gofast05]

well, its a steel block class. the mick orsich is open. thats the only night they ran them together, but as far as i know everyone that ran all year were steel blocks

[Chuck Stevens]

Buckboard,my bad.It was a big room with no microphone.Sorry if it sounded nasty.Call or email if you have any questions.
