That is a nice reply Johnny.
I think for this year we are gonna open the gates and hold our breathe...I think racers will respect how we run our shows and learn to trust us.
And we (as tracks) will probbly learn a lot this season. I am just glad we are just weeks away from opening night and can't wait for the first green flag.
On a side note: Congrats to Steve Faria for making the Show tomorrow in Pomona. I'm heading out early to cheer him on.

HillBilly,
The claim is now a swap (same idea NASCAR tried in 95 that ruined the Grand American class) and is only on the top four finishing cars.
The top-running, super-fast, most-likely-targets for getting claimed, ALL RUN IMCA ALL THE TIME, and they would be happy to race an IMCA series that paid WSM money
. You have to beat Hogge, Stone, Standford, Pounds, McDaniels, Daly, Villanueva, and a few dozen other top guys that run IMCA all over the place, before the claim/swap becomes an issue for you (or me, or anyone).
You know that I respect your opinion of that one rule. Would you support and run an IMCA 12 race series if the rules and sanction was IMCA without a claim/swap?
Here's the best answer I have for you HillBilly, IMCA Series races do allow for non-claim/swap racing. All other engine limits are there, but no swap/claiming. In my example it is a series, so it would be possible. Are you in now? This may be a way to keep the elite mods alive for a few more years until the Sportmods settle in.
I spoke with Brett Root and asked about Sportmods and tracks and such. He told me "they are on the way out there ... California is just behind a bit". After speaking with him, I am as sure as I ever was that Northern Sportmods will save the day. But, as my buddy Mike said, "we do not need a bunch of look-alike classes". So, lets set the elite mods up for travleing and the Sportmods for local level shows .... this allows the elite racers time to find a place to land when their cars are gone, and the Sports a chance to grow a bit. This same idea works for streeters too.

I don't get it, you don't have to give up your motor, you can tell them no.

IMCA does allow for non-claim series...like winter series etc...designed for allowing racers from outside your normal guys to come run with ya.
It wouldn't apply to the 20 races between tulare and kings. We have posted our rules for 2010 on
www.kingsspeedway.net
under news. I think we will have some good racing between Kings, Tulare and Chowchilla. This is the first time EVER that so many tracks have worked together on building their schedules and the first time that Kings and Tulare have made a complete non-compete schdule. This can only translate to a good thing for racers. The tracks are doing everything they can and now it is up to the racers to decide and support their local track.
Good luck to everyone this season regardless of what or where you race.

FYI Scott,
Your rules are different than Chowchilla's, and Tulare does not have any rule's posted.

Yeah I know Tulare is not posted yet. What is different with us and Chow? They had been the same last season I thought...
I haven't talked to Kenny in a few weeks.. I will give him a call.

At first glance, the tires, and cylinder head angle.

The cylinder heads on the Chow site does not stipulate 23* only, but they do state no aluminum heads and since there is only 1 iron 14* head out there, they probably figured that no aluminum head rule would cover the 23* head angle as all other iron haeds on the market are 23*...

the tire rule is something we hope to get at each track but its track discretion. Hoosier has a little point money so we thought we'd give something back to the racers.
14* heads are just something we don't want to get into....We want this still to be modified racing.

Opening night at kings is just a week away. We will have most the construction done, but it may not be ready for the first race. The concession stand is almost a complete building and the restrooms are being worked on.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the races.
