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...





I just want you and all to know my comments were in no way meant to be in a negative attitude to anyone running in theses classes or meant to put any of the racers down in any way so I hope all understands that. Heck I praise the amount of so much hard work they put into these cars as know way I could put that kind of hard work in my car or any car anymore with my health problems. I will admit its not my cup of tea as most know I love the Nostalgic type of racing like the NSS and cars more related to that era and thats just my thing but I have all kind of respect for the people and the cars they run in these classes. So I hope no one thinks I meant my comments in a bad way.

We all have our favorite cup of tea as I myself but I love cars and drag racing and mean no disrespect to anyone who races in thes super fast street classes or what ever class anyone runs in. I just wanted to be sure everyone knows I did not mean to sound disrespectful to anyone or the class they race in. Ron
