Rear wheel drive cars read carfully

[RICK16RACIN]

Since this rule will apply mostly to the Big car class please read it !!! For all that could`nt attend the rules meeting this year i did focus on the "limited slip rear" and what I want to have happen, When your car is jacked up with one wheel on the ground ( my choice ) i want to be able to turn the wheel in the air with one hand !! I know there will be a little resistance but last year there where a few that took just about all i had to turn ?? So with that said i might be pulling your diff. cover to check for shims to tighten clutches in the "limited slip' unit and you could be DQ`ed . Please when the rules get posted read them all carefully and from one side to the other !! NO EXCUSES!!!

Let me know how this works out. ha.

Don't you think you'll have to put in the rules open rears only, because posy's are STOCK!!

[RICK16RACIN]

Well posi rears are stock but they don`t come shimmed so tight you cant turn one wheel when its jacked up with the other on the ground .

[Easy E]

That's gonna be a huge gray area for some.

Rules say that the tech official must be easily able to turn one wheel while the car is jacked up on one side...

Simple explanation....if the rear is STOCK and unaltered, you won't have any issues....if it is NOT STOCK or it is altered....please start posting reasons why we can't do this....

For the drivers who have stock parts and have passed this inspection in the past....we probably won't be hearing from you too much on this thread.......

[Easy E]

Actually, you will, if you have a burnt out posy, meaning the posy don't work properly, you can get the clutches repacked, which in turn it will be tight for a short while and then loosen up alittle,I can't define little, so gray area, Are you going to get the spec for the amount of drag, in foot pounds to tect what the stock drag was?? (on a posy). I'm not trying to argue with anyone, but some of the rules you have are not thought out properly. I like dealing with facts, not assumption. (kinda like my heads) bought heads that were gone over, cleaned up real nice, but there illegal, but a electric fuel pump, electris fan plus a clutch fan is legal on a 1974 chevy monte?? that won 3 championships and was to be bone stock,ummm??? I guess I won't anything for you sir. No reply's just facts please!!

Take the most beat up posi and heat it up for 100+ laps "metal expands when hot" and your not going to turn it with one hand. Out of all the rules, this is the one you want to over analyze?

[kclunck]

I jacked up 4 different fords with posi [traction lock] and to my suprise i easly turned the one wheel as the rules say

[Mobigsly]

Nothing works right on a Ford!

Post race tech for the Big cars will be done either....

If the Big Cars run first, after the Small Car race...to allow time for the car/engine to cool a bit...
If the Small Cars run first, after the Post-race inspection of the Small Cars....

Either way, there should be at least a half hour for cool down. We do let drivers open hoods to let an overheating motor cool...as well as dump water on or in it....

Safety first and if there is an extremely hot motor, I'd rather not see Rick jump right in and burn himself....although I'm sure some people would...

[CJfilms]

PS....again, kind of an unwritten rule as such, but Rick does use common sense...

No one will ever be DQ'd immediately if the wheel doesn't spin if he uses one finger to spin it....he'll give it his best to make sure the wheel is not spinning because of parts installed before making that decision.....

Also, you have the option of tearing the rear/part open to show that there is no shimming, welding, clutch packs, mini clutches, etc...

If the wheel has some friction, so be it...if Rick is turning red in the face trying to turn the wheel....something is not right....

[Easy E]

OK, makes sence joey, Thank you.

[RICK16RACIN]

Listen I have jacked up many cars and turned lots of wheels and hot or not , most will turn easily !! but if I have to hang on it to get it to turn then we are gonna tear it apart and find out why !!! if you came to the rules meeting you would have seen exactly what i was saying and doing !!
