NOT BAD, BUT HERE'S THE WAY THIS SHOULD BE...

I SAY NO GAS OR ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS AT ALL…TOP THREE TO BE LOOKED AT AFTER RACE... TIRES, WELL IF THE COMPANIES WOULD CUT A DEAL FOR THE TEAMS BY LOWERING THE PRICE BY 10% THEN SURE, RUN THOSE THREE... IF NOT, PICK ONE COMPANY... TEAMS CAN RUN REGULAR PUMP GAS (93 OCTANE)... NO RADIOS, ONLY RACECEIVERS… ARE WE TRYING TO GO BACK TO WHAT CRATE RACING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YEARS AGO.... AFFORDABLE...

[sdm]

Run 604s also, not many 602s out there. 1 tire brand. You will have to keep several shocks with that rule. Late models are expensive might as well face it.

[18hobby]

Sounds great!!

[Racingfreck]

GAS SHOCKS ARE $675 A PIECE... SO RUN THEM IF YOU WANT. I WILL BE BUYING A NEW SET EVERY WEEK FROM THOSE TEAMS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE... HAVE ME A NICE COLLECTION OF GAS SHOCKS.... THEN I WILL TURN AROUND AND SELL THEM FOR HALF PRICE AND MAKE A PROFIT OFF THESE VERY SAME TEAMS... I WILL BE SELLING THEIR OWN SHOCKS BACK TO THEM... OR WE CAN JUST SAY NO TO GAS AND ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS ALL TOGETHER AND RACINGFRECK MAKES NO PROFIT... I LIKE PROFIT... AND 602'S ARE JUST A MAN HORSE OF A MOTOR... WE WOULD KILL OURS TIME AND TIME AND ABUSED THAT THING AND IT HELD UP LIKE A CHARM... SO BRING THEM 602'S OUT THE WOOD WORKS... SOME GUY NAME CHRIS STEELE RUNS THE HOUND OUT OF THEM AND DOESN'T DO TOO DANG BAD WITH THEM... AND I STILL THINK ONE TIRE BRAND WORKS TOO... BUT IF THEY WILL CUT A DEAL, THEN I WOULD BE WILLING TO ACCEPT RUNNING THE THREE BRANDS.... CAUSE EVERYONE WILL STILL FOR THE MOST PART JUST RUN THE BRAND THEY LOVE AND ADORE...

[Duane Goins]

FUEL:The reason for a fuel rule is if you make it pump gas then a person can run about anything and it can get expensive and also harmful to your health (some additives cause cancer and people will run them)can't he;p it but it's just that way.

TIRES:Go with three brands then you have competion and price will come down,locked with one brand and they can name the price.

Shocks:Any leaves no one at home,you can run what you have got ( if you want to take a chance,fine,your choice)

602 vs 604:if you have a 604,sell it and buy a new 602 and have some change to race on.

Trying to bring back a cheeper racing!!

Not trying to be a smarty just trying to tell why some rules are what they are.

Keep the questions coming

[Rex Easley]

HARD TIRES..... HARD TIRES....... HARD TIRES.......... Of course, don't sell as many and track/promoter don't get kick back, but competition gets better and racing gets more exciting for fans. Who do we care about most, fans or promoters?
