Back in the day top point guys were inverted every week. It was great watching the race within a race as the top dogs worked toward the front. It also gave back markers a chance to lead and run near the front. It was normally done with out a lot of pushing and banging. AMP has always been a track where there is a lot of pushing and shoving. It is the tracks configuration IMO and wont change until the track shape is changed. The new surface at the Bird has made for multigroove racing every week.
As far as stock appearing bodies, I love 'em. It saddenes me to see pure stocks that look nothing like any production car I've ever seen.

The fwd 4cyl cars look like production cars. Maybe more people should stick around to watch them if that's what people want. I go to watch racecars. I don't care if they look like spaceships as long as they put on a show.
amem to that.

Maybe they should start a V-6 fwd class with 8 in racing tires

So to clarify,
6 classes is too much and spreads the cars too thin at amp, but adding a 6th class at hummingbird is going to save our sport? I get what you are saying, but if the sport were to go that route the pure stocks would have to go. Not enough room in this area for two 80s Monte Carlo classes anyway. I say axe them. They are so close to the same anyway. The guys that move up would be the fan favorites with their stock bodies.

Not sayin.g to add another class. Just suggesting a differnt 'stock' class be considered. 6 classes is too many. Frankly, the pure stock class has put on some of the best shows the last few years.

I'd always anticipate the 3 team running legal. They do all their winning with research and lots of time in the garage. And of course all the other stuff like good driving and teamwork.

He didn't win but car still looked pretty fast. I think he finished top 5 with no yellows. Figured it'd be legal. 83 car was looking good almost beat Beichner.

race ace you might think its funny seeing the barrels flying on to the track but if you would have to spend hours pounding out a car body because of another drivers ignorance its not fun apparently the 5x has no respect for his car or others after a bone head move like he pulled on laps 12 and 13 if you have a dominate car and can pass at will why does a driver have to beat on or run into every car thay that driver goes by and where was the black flag for this agerssive driving style a few weeks ago at amp the flagman said in the drivers meeting that agressive driving would not fly and you would be back flagged
Boooooohooooo crybaby. AMP is a bullring, that's what you have at bullring race tracks. Your car hits everything on the damn track to. Quit your crying, pound the dents out and go racing

Here is the deal:
# 3- Passed tech
# 46- informed me he had roller rockers when I asked him to pull the hood and valve cover. The driver was cool about it. Said he will be back next
# 471-informed me he had roller rockers when I asked him to pull the hood and valve cover. This driver also polite about the issue, also said he would be back.
I am ending the rumor that a fight broke out in the tech area!!!!.Nobody even raised there voice!
# 83- passed tech
Thanks Bobby

If they admitted to the roller rockers, I wonder what else they didn't want to show you.
If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just suck.

Really, good point. They teched the 3 pre and post race again and the 46 pre race I'm pretty sure.

Yes I admitted to roller rockers. I was taken into tech as soon as I arrived the following week and car was then teched. (which I passed). I don't feel it is wrong to admit when your wrong.

Did the track do anything about it? If rough driving is allowed it will only get worse.

Posted 19 June 2014 - 03:42 PM
snooky on both occasions no nothing was done no black flag thrown and no warning this is what makes me upset when they had a drivers meeting a few weeks ago the flagman said that no rough driving would be permited in any class and if you did you would be black flagged and i havent seen one thrown at all well we will move on to this week and see what happens hopefuly its much better racing everyone have a good weekend racing

Nothing like racing door to door with driver's you can trust.
There's always more speed!And you don't have to cheat to find it!

The following week's tech is irrelevant and proves nothing about the initial tech. What I'm saying is, when you admitted to having roller rockers, tech went no further (as I understand it from what I read here). What else would have been found that shouldn't have been there had the inspection continued? Copping to roller rockers kept the tech man from seeing anything else you didn't want him to see.
If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just suck.
