OR..... NO DISTRIBUTOR PROTECTORS (KICKERS) , OR MAKE THE PROTECTOR ONLY 7 INCHES WIDE. THE WHOLE DISTRIBUTOR PROTECTOR DEAL IS WAYYYY AWAY FROM WHAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED TO DO. JUST CUT OUT THE FIREWALL LIKE OLD SCHOOL, THEN, NO PROBLEMS....... OOOOOOHHHHHH, YOU SAY "BUT I COULD HAVE A BIG SCARY ENGINE FIRE, I MIGHT GET BURNED" SURE, YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THAT BUT DONT CARE THAT THERES A FUEL TANK BEHIND YOU WITH 6-12 GALLONS OF GASOLINE?? REMEMBER, THE ODDS OF YOU GETTING BURNED IN A DERBY FIRE BECAUSE OF A HOLE IN THE FIREWALL ARE EXTREMELY SLIM. HEAT AND FIRE BOTH TRAVEL UPWARD, NOT INWARD. ALL THIS PROTECTORS FOR THIS AND THAT SHIT IS GETTING OLD. NO ONE LIKES TO WATCH 2 HOUR FEATURES. THE STATE FAIR FEATURE WAS LIKE AND HOUR AND 40 MINUTES LONG...TOO MUCH DICKING AROUND TRYING TO "OUTMANEUVER" SOMEONE.... WHY NOT DESTROY THEM INSTEAD? THE BAND "KISS" PUTS IT VERY ELOQUENTLY..... WITHOUT THE FANS, WERE NOTHING............. YOU MAKE THE FANS MAD, AND THEY DONT COME AND PRETTY SOON....NO SHOW.........NOW, READ THE RULES AND BUILD TO THEM, CHOOSE THE BEST CAR THAT HAVE, AND HOPE IT COMES OUT ON TOP.........

No drivers no shows. I wouldnt run 8-10 shows a year if I had to build 7 or 8 cars. No cars no shows.

If ya'll are wanting rules to fit all 80s and newer cars to make them equal then the only thing that makes sense to me is allow leaf conversions that way ford,gm,and chrysler would benefit equally and allow tilting with 12 inches of weld behind the a-arms and that way all would benefit from it since I'm not running big cars it doesn't matter to me I say drive em' like compacts and I know that the crowd will keep coming back but that's just my opinion

TITLTING A GM DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE BENEFITS THAT DOING IT TO A FORD DOES.. AND PLATING HUMPS ON A VIC DOESNT GAIN THE BENEFIT THAT DOING IT ON A GM DOES..... YOU ARE DEALING WITH 2 INHERENTLY DIFFERENT FRAMES. IF BOTH WERE MANUFACTURED THE SAME WAY, I COULD SEE AN ARGUMENT...THEY ARENT, SO THE POINT IS MOOT..........

Crusher I will give it to you, you know alot about building a car and you don't get all the respect that one with your knowledge should. But everyone always reads what you post and what you think but we never see you run. So unless you are going to build and run this show please stop with you long post and just let it be!! SHANN THIS IS WE CRASH WERE EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST WAY OF DOING THINGS AND NEVER BUILDS OR RUNS A CAR !!!!
