Well not so sure, heard from a little birdie that a letter was sent to Dirt ( not like they help much ) But who knows, maybe they are unaware of whats happening. I feel that if you write the rules, that somewhat makes you an "employee" of the track. Therefore, why would it be allowed to create your own rules for the division you build cars for as well as race yourself? Seems fishy. And also to changes the rules at your leisure? Again......Fishy. A group needs to be formed to get these rules under control before what i think is the best division is ruined. For example, the deck heights now are out of control, seems to need a rule to control that. I think we will change our car to match the deck heights of the newer ones getting built and add some wedge then put our spoiler on just to prove a point.

I have not seen the deck heights. Do you know what cars? Just S&S cars or others as well?

I will have to check it out once the stampede hits. Just nose on around a little bit. Ha

I think the root of the problem here is that Schneider is the primary consultant for Stock rules at Lernerville, all the while making his living in part by building many of those same stocks. I don't think people are completely out of line for thinking there could be a conflict of interest.

Exactly. Dude is a hell of a mechanic and stock driver. But I myself would be a little frustrated if my racing competitor was making/developing the rules. That's why I was trying to figure out if there was some performance enhancement surrounding those frame rails.

Drivers should be the ones making the rules not the track. Years ago they use to have meetings and drivers came and voice their point of view, then they voted on it. That became the rules. If you didn't go to the meeting than you didn't get to vote. You had no one to blame if your piont wasn't heard if you didn't go. To many years that rules are made by the tracks and so called techmen. They have their friends that they talk to and make rules around. If the drivers make the rules then the teching should be easy and fair.

That's another good point. Havent thought about that
