Should N.A.S. Cars run in Special Construction Streamliner Class
« on: February 05, 2009, 11:20:07 AM »
I re-read the rule book and think we have a place to run all the cup cars.... Streamliner....
Since they are not based on any production vehicle, and don 't use any production parts, they fit Special Construction, and since the wheels are faired, Streaminer...
Bring 'em out boys, you can race them if they meet the other safety requirements...

(disclaimer... I don't represent the scta, their opinion may vary)

Great idea, but they should bring their own hats -- they won't be getting any.

All kidding aside, one thing you can say for the oval track cars is that they have proven rollcage designs.   
I wanted to run a Craftsman series truck in diesel classes due to their extensively tested rollcages, but even though the Craftsman truck is larger and less aero in all dimensions than what is normally used (minitrucks), they aren't allowed.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I saw a class for oval track cars, but only "open wheel" cars.

I say YES. I believe this would put them in C/GS @ 323.462 MPH. Dave Spangler and the Vesco team should be shaking in thier boots.

Dallas, we will do a better tune up on the 444 car this year and give them a better (faster) number to run for.

Again Craftsman series trucks are not based on production are they  :? same as the cars.  Streamliner class...

You saw VOT, for old Midgets, class opened back in the day when scta started the class when 3 like vehicles entered....

Correct.  And we aren't going to run one.  A minitruck will go faster, even though they aren't diesel production trucks either.  No, I don't agree with non-OEM glass bodies running in any production-based class.  The only NACSAR parts I might have to run are tires, since that's what Goodyear said is their LSR tire.

if implemented the NAXCAR would have to be from the last year they used any production body panel. A 1973 Monte Carlo could not run whereas a 2008 Fusion could. BTW the Fusion is the same as whatever body GM and Chrysler claim to be, different decals.

in the 70's they used production bodies, those could probably run modified anyway, right.  The winged cars ran there. 

I think this is the solution and would put a stop to all the whining.... it gives them a class to run.  :evil:

We ended the whining a couple of years ago. See the threads in the Wicks thread that 4B Mike searched out.

There have been no proposals to the SCTA since then.

Replying just to see what the filter will do.   :-D

Only one class is needed.  Just like the one's now.  You pick the most areo car and baddest engine (FORD kent) and put your lead boot on.  If you pick incorrectly you are slow.  If you put it all together you are fast.  If it looks like a NASCAR it is in the NASCAR class.  Just the safety inspection as it is now and some basic class structure rules.

Self policing...  I'm Bubba and I say that's no NASCAR.  I ain't filling out no protest form.

But I do like the streamliner inclusion to see what they can do.

I don't want to repeat the NAXCAR thread from before. But, when the class was proposed even the 12 claimed they could not be competitive amongst themselves if some had a new body than someone else. How about the Vintage NAXCAR class?

Pat --

The ECTA has some classes for left-turners, I think.
