In my humble opinion- I doubt SMS would agree to Aluminum bodies.

And why do you think that ????

SMS like Bakersfield and some other tracks have been working with the drivers for a change for the betterment of racing. I think they understand we (the E/W series teams ) have, and will continue to build the car count, by working with each other, and the tracks, instead of the old school bickering that accomplished nothing. We are all out here for one purpose to build up the car counts, and put on good shows for the fans, and most of all HAVE FUN.....Things don't happen overnight, but I think we have proven in a short period of time, that working together as a team is what it takes to build our SS division back up again.

Reply #111 - 11/28/06 at 6:43pm When you start putting flat sheet aluminum on the sides of the cars with the full noises you now run they will look just like the late models. They might have a slight curve when you first make them but after rubbing a few weeks they will be flat. And its still the same price as steel.

I think making a common sence rule change is OK, even when you have a 3 year rule book. This isn't the kind of rule that makes everyone go out and change there car. You just go to aluminum if you want. If you like steel bodies, than stick with steel. No problem. The majority of the racers will be buying new bodies anyway, so this rule change will actually be saving money right now.

How about some type of body line rule? One body line down the side or something like that? Since some guys are hooked on this "flat side" deal.

That's not what most of us want as a body. He's our Champion though, and that's why I put him on the front page.

Thanks for all the kind words on the site.
