Julie, give me one example of a car that has had safety issues from the stock suspension. This type of thing is what kills the original S/S class. I would also like to mention that we have a customer that goes 230+ MPH at Bonneville with stock front end parts. I believe its around 5000 pounds too.
Thank You! This is my feeling exactly. Where does it end. How about some struts! Some of the GT cars would be a better fit in comp than Super Stock. Lets not kill the class. Lets try to keep the somewhat stock.

Uuhh...do you think you are doing your customer any favors? Doesn't matter to me, but just because someone is doing it..isn't the best argument

True, I'll go along with that. But 230 MPH sure is a long way from 155 MPH, wouldn't you agree?

modified front suspension would be safer no if's and's or but's
maybe a rack on the front considering the 4link rear i say why the hell not
Dave what was the reasoning for the allowed tire and replacement of leaf springs when they allowed the ladder bar or 4link with coilovers?
if you dont know ask your dad

Dave, why do some of these cars have the steering wobble when they come down from a wheelstand?
When the front end is compressed all the down look what happens to your wheel alignment. My Hemi Dart street car used to even do it if i was going fast and stood on the brakes hard and loaded down the front end. As soon as the torsion bars pick the car up to ride height the wobble goes away. Im not a suspension expert, so i don't know if a fabricated front suspension can correct that. I just think the direction the class is taking may not be for the better. super stock used to be cool to watch with real cars doing big wheel stands with alot of factory type parts. I don't want to see it turn into a class where the cars sit two inchs off the ground, and they leave with the front tires 3 inchs off the ground like a pro stocker.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

If you compare the mass and strength of the OEM front suspension parts to the front end parts used on a typical tube chassis car running much higher speeds, I don't think the strength of the parts is an issue. As long as the chassis or front end person does the modifications to the stock parts to correct the geometry and alignment settings, I believe the OE front suspension is up to the task. I also believe "evolution" of class cars is inevitable, but I think we need to prevent the class from becoming '68 Cuda and Dart Pro Stockers.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I heard tonight that mike omalley "mr nobody racer" passed away sunday. He had a heart attack while golfing. He will be missed by many. He had an obsession with hemi cars that couldnt be matched.
rest in peace cw

I don't think anyone would joke about this. Mike emailed me off group Sunday, 8/27 at 12:37 pm. He asked if I was going to Indy. I responded, and have not heard back from him. This is terrible. I never met Mike but we corresponded often about these great cars. He loved this class and what these cars represented. R.I.P. Mike
