It seems to me that the Projacks kinda violate the spirit of the event. In a way...

But I digress: Call it what you want, he DROVE it the required course and it was WITHIN the rules. If you don't like the Unlimited rules, then don't run the class or watch the coverage. Who cares what it cost him to build the truck?? There are FAT wallets in all forms of motorsports, right? Ever see a high dollar stacker trailer with a pair or Jr. Dragsters inside, being pulled by a $200K toter home?

Besides, there is a class for nearly everyone at DW.

Having said all of that, if were up to ME...I'd absolutely change the rules to minimize the parts switching. Tires? Yes. Center section? Sure. Adding chutes? You betcha. But I put a screeching halt to the fuel system, the cooling system, the doors (WHAT is that all about?), etc...

I would allow trailers, max size though. (I think this is mandated already?) Soon, Larson will be pulling a 40 footer with a machine shop on board a the rate we're going...LOL!

I would also mandate all unlimited entries in Lockdown before each event.

One more: Unless it's an immediate safety issue, NO ONE but the driver and co pilot are allow to touch the vehicle.

Rant over. Discuss...



Yes there is a max size to the trailer including the
max height of the trailer and the junk on top..
but I agree with ya... they(hot rod) do seem to
over look how many people are working on it.. yes
people help other drivers all the time.. but not on
a daily basis.. and driving another car that most of
use call a mule to haul stuff for some other car..
in the years past Larson didnt drag a trailer but yet
had all these parts and equipment... thats magic that
all the tools and parts would show up at each track
and this year there were MULTIPLE people working on
that truck.. if I can get in next year I think I'll
be in the unlimited class(just for kicks) due to I
can only fit in 2 classes.. unlimited and DD.. I cant
even run quicker than 10.0 but what the heck... all
this is based on it being east of the Mississippi river
and we get in(my buddy and myself)..... JMO on this
