Great night goes bad in South Boston! There needs to be rule book resolve very soon!

[@thomasbarrett3175]

Late model races at South Boston have become more like a magic show, "see the winner, now you don't". Hopefully you'll pull of a win at Langley.

[@Huddle_House56]

Elaborate? Haven’t been since that modified race Bobby Labonte ran last year

[@FloridaManRacer]

It's just simply getting the CARS Tour and NACAR rule books to unify. We had unified rules in the northeast for a long time. You know what unified rules do? they increase car counts. And EVERY series should be unifying rules. If you run in a division with that name (in this case Late Model Stocks) then every sanction should be working TOGETHER to unify the rules. A rising tide raises ALL ships. Not enough people in racing understand that.

[@zacharyradford5552]

NASCAR needs to follows CARS rules. NASCAR can fuck a series up like nobody’s business.

[@AndrewHartings]

​@@zacharyradford5552most of the tracks the CARs tour runs are NASCAR sanctioned tracks. So CARs tour should be the ones to change their rules as they are running at the NASCAR sanctioned tracks.

[@simracingrealtor5811]

I think they talked about this on the DBC Podcost and I couldn't agree more. We have talked about coming to race down there from Canada and it is all confusing TBH

[@highpockets2376]

I would think that all cars competing in a Late Model division event would follow the established track rules for Late Model division. Sorry this happened, hopefully the team will be a little more aware of rule differences when planning/adjusting for each race..

Between late models and super lates, the tracks and series make it impossible to travel around without having 6 different cars. You almost have to make it your full-time job to read the damn rule books. We have been having tons of issues with this up in the Midwest.

I have two questions. What type of penalty did Annabeth get for monster trucking you? How much does a set of shocks cost? If not too expensive keep a set of both in the trailer properly labeled to switch out depending on what series you are running. Oh, one other question, are you going to run Martinsville this year? I have only missed a handful of those over the last 25 years. Sure hope you run it.

[@ConklinMotorsports]

I was lucky enough to grow up not missing a race at Caraway when Bobby Labonte was LMSC champion and there were full fields at most tracks in Mid Atlantic/Southeast regions..I saw recently at Caraway the Lmsc field consisted of 7 cars with maybe 2 that were competitive...

[@loganallison7305]

Now I do not watch much asphalt racing outside of NASCAR Cup and Landon here, but here in the Midwest dirt world the touring series and the weekly series rules are the exact same rules when it comes to modifieds. I don't know why you would have two sets of rules for the same car that can be run in the weekly series and the touring series, even if its two different "sanctions."

not the shock differences that were considered in this lol. Maybe from a non adjustable, oil shock vs an adjustable gas pressured shock, but we are talking about a $100 difference and only performance difference is less gas pressure...

It’s an educated guess… all these cars tour guys bring their expensive crap to the track, and the non cars guys want a fighting chance, so they gamble and challenge various parts that have the cars your rule discrepancy.

There’s so many rulebooks (per track) that are so different it’s flat out hard to keep up with all of them…. Just wish all the racetracks and sanctioning body’s (NASCAR, non NASCAR, and the Cars Tour) could agree on a majority of rules and go with that. I get maybe one or two things being different but in my opinion, it’s just way too broad at the moment. And that’s why car counts are low or decreasing almost everywhere you go you have to throw the kitchen sink at it to go 30 minutes down the road to a different racetrack than the one you typically run at, that’s not the way it should be….. that’s just my ✌🏼cents worth tho
