    Please don't forget Joe is trying to find out SPECIFICS first so don't go jumping on this just yet. Please be patient he should have answers soon.

    ANSWERS???? SOON!?!?!? Man...I think I might welcome the hassle on the forums from the drivers rather than my wife throwing me to the wolves!!!!!!

    .................................................. .............Love you, honey!

    Anyway, I do have some answers....

    The 350 Carb requirement:
    This is a request from the Wall Stadium Officials that if a Wall Factory Stock is intending on running with us on the 30th that they would be allowed to run their 350 Carbs that are sealed to the motors rather than change them out.

    This is fine....the 350's may actually put these seasoned cars/drivers at a disadvantage rather than switching them out for something more powerful that will still fall into the "Legal" category. A car that meets all other NEETS rules and regulations WILL NOT have to change out their carb for this event.

    Roll Bar Padding:
    We are currently attempting to get an exemption from requiring this padding at the enduros. If we can get this exemption, the padding you will need to install will be regular roll bar padding...cheap. OR, if it is still required, we are aiming at only ONE STICK being required, cut into three pieces and placed around the driver's head.

    I will be posting up more details and such soon...I'm leaving work now, so let me get home and eat something before I get the next step up online!

    That's what fire suits are for

    If the car is burning hot enough and fast enough that the padding is melting, I think the padding melting is the least of your worries

    I find that your selfish mind is a place to hide when you know what you are doing is wrong

    What is this?

    4. A safety hub or reinforced wheel must be located on right front.

    Someone let me in on the big secret...

    What is a RF safety hub? I've heard of other tracks recomending this for stock cars, but I have no idea what it is, or where to get one.

    I know what a rear safety hub is, but have no idea what a front safety hub is... I thought the front disc brakes made such a device obsolete.

    Safety Hub

    Here is the definition of a safety hub.

    Does the rule book define what a safety hub is?
    Why not just call it a widget.

    Wall Enduro Rules.

    IMO - Be Glad that Wall is having Enduro races BUT, If Wall officials are going to try and dictate too many competition rules that would be not acceptable to me. The 350 carb rule is only to allow a Wall FS car to compete in an Enduro. Of course with a Holley carb they would fail NEETS tech. Ok, so it will allow the car count to grow which would be good because we dont know how many NEETS Enduro cars will actually show up so allowing a few Factory Stocks in would make for a better show. On the other hand, if a Wall FS driver starts to complain that a NEETS car with a 3.73 posi rear, and a quad 4 barrel is woopin their *** and Wall Tech Officials try to step in again and try to change rules to cater to the FS guys thats when I would would bail out of there, and not support the races with the multiple cars that I could bring. If the Wall FS guys want to race in an enduro and get the rule changed for them so they would not have to change their carb fine, but they should already know going in that they could be at a disadvantage and if they choose to race anyway they must understand that nothing else will be changed to cater to their cars. If they want to run an Enduro Car they can go build one.
    All the saftey rules are for your own good. Yes this year costs went up, but so did everything else. Maybe not spending so much on tobacco which kills you, and putting the $$$ towards the roll bar padding which may save you. I think its all about the way it burns not so much about impact. Try this - take a small paice of the new stuff, and take a small torch to it. It wont really burn. Now take the small torch to the old roll bar padding. Since its so cheap use a full piece and when it lights look out. It goes up like it has flammables on it. But more importantly it drips. The small peices that drip may still have flame to them. If its above your head, or if your on your side and that stuff drips down your neck or onto your shoulder your on fire. I did not like the idea at first (4/2008) because of the additional cost, but when I did the fire test I was convinced it was for my own good, and now I have it in all three of my cars.
    The RF sfatey hub - If I am not mistaken I beleive this will pass tech. I know it has in the past. If your running a stock steel wheel most are two peice. An inner section and an outer section. On my ralley wheels that come off a camaro or chevelle I weld the two sections together all the way around the seam and its good to go.

    Let's just add an extra dirt race at the end of the year to the grandview season and call it the "Extra Dirty 100"
    Maybe in November or something.
    Although might be hard talking Grandview into.

    Wink ???

    As far as i could always tell a wall factory stock is almost exactly an enduro (just a little safer) and Vern about the rear issue all the wall guys can change them for this race if they want but if any body has a posi that would be illegal no matter if it`s a 308 or 342 or whatever. some nomex under wear(what 70 to 90 bucks) and possily some roll bar padding (18 to 36 BUCKS) and you guys would be legal!!! Seems to me Joe and Erin have been busting *** to find places for you guys to race, So now that they have takin this series back to what it was origanlly (north east enduro TOURING series) We should all get together and make this thing happen!!!!!! Dont let Joe and Erin down, they haven`t let you down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Cool NEETS Nostalgia............

    Everybody on this forum, I'm sure, appreciates the job Joe and Erin are doing to revive the NEETS series.....................
    But, part of the NEETS attraction is in its rules and reputation for attracting some of the best drivers in the N.E....................
    A few concessions for safety's sake are OK but as a traveling series you can't roll over and let the host track completely take over the program.............
    If the Wall F/S's want to enter a NEETS event and not conform to its rules, let'em run with us but they'll forfeit trophy, prize money and points. It was done at OCS, Accord and Wall in 2003....................
    UNCLE PETEY....................

    By the way, limited slip rears(posi) are NEETS legal(make, model and year), lockers are illegal................
