Drivers, Matt asked me to gather feedback on allowing 6" spoilers this year for drivers on 10" tires. This would be the same rule as Lernerville, Sharon and Mercer at quick glance. I also heard Thunder Mtn, Hummingbird, Marion Center and Dog Hollow allow them. Since we are sitll a month from the season starting we don't think this will hurt drivers. Thoughts? I also want to allow them for the EL 17 race, so if that's the case, why not make them legal all year. Thanks. Vince Laboon

Tracks: Lernerville: --Rear spoilers are allowed on all cars (602 crate, 358 and 406 engines) with a 6’ maximum height. Mercer: Rear spoiler 75' wide x 6 inches of measure material with no more than 3 supports (see illustration for support) and must be attached solid to the deck. The spoiler cannot be wider than the deck at the rear. All dimensions will be measured from the deck. Sharon: Rear spoiler 75' wide x 6 inches of measure material with no more than 3 supports (see illustration for support) and must be attached solid to the deck. The spoiler cannot be wider than the deck at the rear. All dimensions will be measured from the deck (exactly the same wording as Mercer). Knob- Spoiler permitted maximum 4" high by 60" wide mounted at the further most point to the rear of the rear deck lid. No sides permitted on spoiler Thunder Mountain: Rear deck spoilers are permitted (no measurments listed) Dog Hollow: 5" or less spoiler is permitted.

I like the idea.... It brings the body rules for all the area tracks in line. Now Lernerville and Roaring Knob needs to re-evaluate thier motor rule and allow strokers and then the division , as a whole, is 75% of the way to uniformity in the SW PA. area... and I personally think it makes the cars look better Just my 2 cents...

Hummingbird has changed their spoiler rule this year to make it the same as America's motorsport park . 5 inch spoilers are allowed .

[whiteboy55]

kocuba may be the only competitive car at ppms that runs an 8 in. tire. and that spoiler does alot more at ppms than the other tracks you mentioned.

I like a spoiler, I just think it makes the car look better! I hope they allow us spoilers this year. Just my two cents:) Craig 64k

[Racer17L]

Thanks Craig! Is it safe to say all the Koteles boys feel the same way?

i think amp also has a rule where the rear has to be closed off...personally like that better then all these stocks that look like late models in the back...

Anytime we can get all the local tracks closer to being on the same page with the rules for this class the better.. The more options the racers have will grow the car count, for these special events, I'm all for it.

are you matts bitch? why isn't he talking to the drivers/car owners himself?

[1k sportsman]

Vince is our union rep!! I vote for the spoiler.

[Racer17L]

Union Yes! I've been talking to drivers from many local tracks to work out the best rules package for the EL17 in order to be accomodating to new cars but fair to existing PPMS guys. So it made sense for me to ask PPMS guys what they think of the spoilers, because Matt wants to be consistent all season if possible. So if trying to get news cars to PPMS and get somewhat close to uniformed, competitive rules between 3-5 tracks for a $1700 to win race I'm promoting in my Dad's memory makes me Matt's b!tch, then yes, yes I am.
