Hey Chad 11, Chows rules were if you were legal at your track, then your legal there for their open. Chow's Open Comp race was actually looser in the rules than Bako. In fact Bako had the tightest rules of any of the Open Shows. The bitching at Pahrump was from some drivers , not the promoter. If you saw the cars that they run there you would understand. Their Streets are more restricted than Bako or Chow Hobbys. We're going to tow down to Imperial this weekend and run with the "scary" Perris cars. Might get our asses handed to us but oh well.

Someone try to get Antioch to join the group. The rules are very different than the south, even different than Ocean Speedway. Different motor rules, intake and tires.

Been there tried that, wasted breath fell on deaf ears. Hell, had to strap on 400lbs for 200cc runners. As a body manufacturer I think the added cost of Baked enamel on Aluminum sheet would offset the cost of painting steel, not to mention getting it to adhere properly. As posted earlier 3000lbs is 3000 lbs.

There is no added cost of baking on enamel. You get the aluminum sheets already pre-colored, you don't have to fool with painting them. Just cut, bend and mold to your application. A lot easier to work with than steel.

This is going to get real interesting to see what people think a "SuperStock" is supposed to look like. If we are getting away from being associated with "Street Stock" and the whole concept of "Street", then what is an acceptable SuperStock look. I, for one, think that the transformation to a more "Late Model" appearing car makes it easier to sell the class as something besides a filler class. The further the cars move from the Hobby/Bomber look the easier it is to sell the series, IMO.
