They never enforced the rules, so guys started going bigger and bigger. Now they have about 8 cars or so that they are trying not to completely alienate and tell them they can't race with something they've had for a few years, so they are trying to level it out to keep more guys from buying them. The motors that guys like Brian and Guidace are running are nearly as expensive as a good big block and need rebuilt in half the laps. With the enforcement of the proper rules, there should be some growth in the division because guys won't be able to price themselves out as much. The next thing that needs to go is the 18 degree heads, as the price tag on those is completely outrageous.



DIRT made moves to get rid of the big small blocks back in the mid 90's when 410-430s became the hot ticket. They were really fast, but they were also insanely expensive and pretty unreliable. And some of the better financed teams were doing some kooky shit to them.

The RoC tour allows you to run basically any steel block motor, though.

The DIRT 500 motor that they keep pushing might get some people into the class, too. I don't know how competitive they will be, but in the dead of summer when the tracks are slicker than whale snot I don't think it'll matter much.

And one more time, just to clear it up. I don't think the intent was to cheat, but to do the same thing they always do and weigh 2500. The big small blocks have been supposed to weigh heavier then the big blocks for several years (maybe even a decade), much like the big blocks over 468, but it was never enforced. This year a point was made to say that they will be enforcing it, but the 83 team (like most teams) probably just assumed it was a hollow threat just like any tech threats most local tracks make. It just so happened to turn out that wasn't the case and they were the first to get nailed for it.

I know exactly what I'm saying. You're the one that seems to have a problem with the english language. You should really stop being so angry, it's not healthy.

I don't really care, I'm a big boy and can say whatever the hell I want. I accept whatever consequences go along with whatever I say. Trust me I'm not the only person out there that thinks this is the case, I'm just the only one willing to speak up about it. And where am I whining? I'm just statinng my opinion of what happened. We aren't the ones that got caught breaking the rules and dq'd. I'm actually quite happy with Lernervilles decision and the fact that they are finally enforcing the rules. I just don't want people mistaking this for another poor Brian moment or Brian the victim. I'm not sure you know what whining means.

Edit: my dad and anyone else who has ever dealt with me knows I'm an opinionated person who has no problem making sure everyone who will listen knows how I feel. Or as some would say, a jackass. But hey, anyone who knows me also knows where they stand, no two faced politically correct bs from this guy. Ever.

It's hard to take a troll account seriously. But you know the drill, if you have guts to put a face to the name, you're more then welcome to come on down and talk racing any time. I'll be more then glad to explain myself to you at that point. Until then I will no longer respond to you.

The fuel story may be believable, but I highly doubt the 83 crew miscalculated. If they were light 25#, then that means they were trying to weigh exactly the minimum weight for his size motor (ex: 2500#). They aren't that great of a team to truly factor in excess mud plus account for any cautions that night take place during the opening might of racing. Not to mention, the track wasn't a tacky fast as early on in the night, therefore they would have most likely taken out gear which would consume less fuel. If he truly raced the late model race, then he would understand that the track had slowed down. In addition to opening night and a full moon, there is no way they could have banked on having a caution free race thus using less fuel. Just my opinion, they evidently thought they could get away with whatever they were doing as they have in the past. Plus, why the sudden change to their race schedule to not run Sharon on Saturday. Afraid of getting teched away from home?

Um Queenie they havnt been running sharon steady for a number of years. It was a miscalculation that happens in racing. Um what did they get away with?? He was light!! Didnt get the win...didnt get paid....didnt get points. MAYBE YOU AND HOTDOG SHOULD GO PLAY WITH EACH OTHER IN THE CORNER INSTEAD OF RUNNING YOUR MOUTH ALSO!!

To be honest, I don't know how big small blocks are even allowed at Lernerville or Sharon. They're not DIRT legal.

A "big smallblock" is under 467 cid it is legal therfore it is dirt legal

Wrong. That rule has been in effect for 15 years and none of the western PA tracks enforced it.

I'm on my phone or i'd copy from the Dirtcar Northeast rulebook. Go ahead and look up section 15.6 letter d. I think you'll be surprised.
