Just like when the rear frame rails were moved in.
The rear frame rails haven't moved at all, what are you talking about? I think you're missing the point, the body and frame of the ARE car are bone stock.

Well way way back on page 4 when I was taking a guess at the frame rails being moved in, Dave never said that they haven't. I'm sure he would have said something. Maybe he just didn't see the post.

No leg humpin here but I have been under the silver Z to see what was REALLY going on under there last year. With out a scale or tape measure, you cannot tell the LCA's were moved in. I did notice the clearance for the tires but could not see any frame work to speak of. I almost did the exact same thing they did because I really like the stance the car has but chose to stay stock to avoid future critism like this.

Alright SLED you are right we talked. I also said that you needed to send pics. YOU said call my chassis guy. I talked to Jay and I think that you have had the chance. Email me pics and we (JAY and I) will look at them. I dont see why I should call your chassis guy for info. I wouldnt like anyone calling my engine guy.

On me being a MAN lets talk about that.

I was called out when Nick owned ARE and Sled worked there. I was suppoesed to go to St Louis to run yall. You also called out Chris Sikora. This was in 1999 I believe.

Then in 2000 I was called out to be in Bristol by ARE.

Then Baxter had his race in 2001 and Iwas called out.
I showed at all the above races and low and behold there wasnt one ARE car in existence. So dont call me out again about being MAN ENOUGH to race. I didnt ban ARE. You guys have a chip on your shoulder from me preaching at THUNDER last year. Yeah I probably shouldnt have jump yalls *** but I'm tired of chasing yall all over the country and you being no shows.
This thread is done so send the pics or quit crying.

I have nothing positive to say about my dealings with ARE in the past. I would'nt buy a cup of water from them if my hair was on fire. That being said, even I think they should be allowed to race. No conspiracy theories, no black balling, no BS, if you guys were really interested in having something that might actually take off, you need to let the fastest cars in the country run. Hell, there seems to be enough interest in a back half class, GIVE IT TO THEM FOR GODS SAKE. Don't limit the car count by excluding cars , make them a class to race in. I know my oppinion means absolutly nothing around here, But I am thinking about selling my F body (actually already have) and buying a Ford or a Buick (My business name is not brand specific), and others will be soon to follow.

With all the excuses Dave Diluca has pulled out of his *** leads me to believe something like frame rails where changed or other MAJOR suspension changes that would not pass in STOCK STYLE SUSPENSION class in a MAJORITY of race organizations in North America, unless proven wrong I will continue to think otherwise. Dave has not and will not send pics because he knows his **** stinks. Just come out and say it. We all want the fast cars to be together at one place, you are excluding yourself for no reason and making BULLSHIT excuses about it. Everyone needs to get together and set a rules standard. Come next year, chances are highly likely that the ARE car will be racing north of the border on a permanent basis due to their suspension setup.

Damn, you guys feel free to start a NEW post, this one is incredibly LONG.

Personally, I don't think ARE was planning on attending the event anyways (don't blame them with that long haul). This "conspiracy" just provides them with an excuse not to come.
