A shock rule is being implemented for 2010.  This years rule is designed as a transition period for such.  All spec QA1 shocks listed below will be legal, and at a minimum recommended for use in 2010. It is our intent to make them mandatory as the exclusive shock to be used for 2010 and beyond. We will attempt to allow shocks other than the QA1 spec shock for 2010 and beyond with an appropriate weight penalty. This allows teams to compete on an “occasional” basis without the expense of buying new shocks for a few races. Example being a team visiting to participate in the WA500. Very similar to this years differences in weight between shock types as a “transition period”. The 2010 weight penalty will be significant enough to encourage use of the spec shock package by teams competing on a weekly basis.

All shocks for the 2009 season must meet the following requirements:
A. Adjustable shocks permitted, must not be adjustable from driver’s compartment
B. Shock absorbers must be available to all competitors.
C. A maximum of one (1) shock absorber per wheel is permitted.

F. Any competitor choosing to participate in and run specified shock program as detailed below, is required to maintain the same 58% left side as all other competitors, but is allowed to reduce the total weight of the car from 2800 to 2725 pounds. All QA1 spec shocks are available for purchase with either a 7″ or 9″ stroke.

1. Front shocks being used are QA1 rebound adjustable shocks. Any combination of the following three shocks are allowed for use in the front. Numbers  6873-9  (3 comp. 9 max rebound), 6874-8 (4 comp. 8 max rebound), or (6875-8  (5 comp. 8 max rebound)

2. Rear shocks available for use are QA1 non-adjustable shocks. Any combination of the following three shocks are allowed for use in the rear. Numbers 6273-5 (3 comp. 5 rebound), 6274 (4 comp. 4 rebound), and RR number 6275 (5 comp. 5 rebound)

3. Shocks to be purchased from Concept Race Cars in 2009, and must remain sealed with serial number in tact as received. No modification of any kind permitted. Shocks are built with upgraded pistons, oil, with custom valving (modified from factory specifications) As program evolves a wider selection of rebuilders and retailers will be allowed, based on concern of legality. Shocks will be sold at cost, until determined otherwise.

4. All shocks will be serial numbered, and dyno’d with full range of adjustment positions (fronts), and recorded by Concept before selling. All shocks will be built with identical components and valving, and will be dyno’d to verify there is no variation between any shocks, for any competitor.

5. In the event a shock is damaged on race day, and cannot be repaired on site, it must be sent to Concept for rebuilding/repair. Concept will have an ample supply of shocks on hand for this purpose.

6. Shocks will be teched on random basis by use of dyno, and/or disassembly of shock at minimum for verification of stock components as originally built.

Evergreen Speedway – Monroe, WA

2009 Super Late Model Tire Rules & Procedures

2/27/09

The only tires approved for the 2009 season:

Goodyear        D2772             L26.5 x 10.0 x 15         $127.00 each

D2902             R27.0 x 10.0 x 15        $127.00 each

The official tire supplier is Concept Race Cars & Graphics (360) 805-5169. Purchaser must declare which driver the tires are for at the time of purchase. A list with the serial numbers of all tires sold, and for which driver will be kept. This list includes practice tires. List will be turned over to the tire officials every week at the track. Any tires purchased may be taken home.

Driver’s who participate in the season opener on April 11th, 2009 will be allowed to stamp in up to 6  tires that night as “race tires”. Any combination of new or used tires is allowed to make up these six tires; however it is highly recommended that new tires are used. This will maximize the use of the tires as averaged throughout the season. Driver’s competing for the first time after April 11th, will be allowed to stamp in, 4 tires for that night of racing. All tires whether new or used, must have been purchased from Concept in 2009 and meet all established rules.

Drivers will be allowed to stamp in THREE new tires every 3/8 race night, and FOUR new tires every 5/8 race night. During a double-header race night, the driver will be allowed to stamp in a total of FOUR new tires for that night, NOT per race. For double header races, all four tires stamped in must be run in qualifying, heat race, and both main events. For 5/8 races, drivers will be allowed to stamp in FOUR new tires for that night.  Scuffed or used tires will not be stamped unless they are to be treated as your new tire(s) for that race night.  If you have a used tires stamped in, you give up the right to stamp in a new tires that night.  You must run the tires you stamped in that night.

After April 11th, any driver competing for the first time on the 3/8’s must start in the back of the heat race. Drivers must also make a valid attempt at both qualifying laps (sandbag rule may apply). This is due to having four new tires as opposed to returning drivers having only three. Drivers competing for the first time on the 5/8’s will qualify for and keep starting position for heat race. The qualifying position obtained in heat race will determine starting position in main, as it does for everyone. In other words, drivers keep their qualifying position for main event line up.

There is no limit on number of practice tires that can be purchased in a season. At any time tire supply versus demand warrants such, a purchasing limit of 12 tires, per driver, per week may be imposed, assuring the greatest selection for all competitors at all times. This helps to eliminate drivers from stockpiling large quantities of commonly desired tire sizes. It is up to the sole discretion of Concept as to if and when this may happen. It is our intent to provide all drivers equal opportunity in choice of tires at all time. Stagger numbers available will vary throughout the season. This is common, and in no way can it be manipulated as Goodyear provides a “range” of sizes, and cannot guarantee any quantity of any size. It is up to the driver to be sure he/she maintains adequate contact with tire supplier in order to have best choice at tire sizes. Drivers purchasing tires at the track on race day will justifiably have a smaller cross section of stagger choice, as the other drivers have purchased ahead of them.

Each week the driver will be responsible for ensuring that all new tire(s) are presented to the Tire Officials at least 30 minutes prior to qualifying (heat races, or time-ins). It is the responsibility of the driver to be sure that all tires are stamped/marked on both sides. If a stamp/mark is “rubbed” off in competition or cannot be clearly read, it is the sole responsibility of the driver to bring the tire to tire officials for replacement stamp/mark.

All serial numbers, bar code tags, and/or identification numbers of tires must remain unaltered. Any tire not having any one of these stamps/marks, serial numbers, bar codes, and/or ID numbers, and cannot otherwise be identified as being the proper tire for the evening will be considered illegal and will be confiscated. The penalty for illegal tires will be the loss of all points for the day, a $250.00 fine and the driver will lose the right to stamp in any tires on their next eligible night to stamp in tires.  ALL illegal tires will be confiscated. No tire softener will be allowed.  Tires must durometer within 3 points of factory specifications.  The tire officials will be allowed to check all Race tires brought into the Speedway.  Any tire deemed illegal by the tire officials will be confiscated.

Any tires found on wrong car number will be grounds for disqualification as well as being subject to fines, suspension and/or loss of points. Tires will also be confiscated. Tires may not be transferred between drivers for any reason. Once a driver checks a tire in, it is for them to use only. No one else. Tires will be checked and recorded by the Tire Officials when the cars are scaled just prior to the main event.

Drivers wishing to replace a tire that has been damaged or destroyed must present said tire to tire officials no later than 15 minutes following the conclusion of the race in which tire was damaged. Only tires damaged in qualifying or heat race will be considered. Only tires considered “new” for the night are considered eligible for replacement with a new tire. Any used tires checked in for the night that are damaged, must be replaced with another tire from your inventory of documented stamped in tires. A tire is considered new if it has no more than a total of 10 green flag laps of competition on it since being checked in as one of that night’s allowable set of tires. The 10 lap limit includes qualifying and heat race laps. Practice and caution laps are not considered. Eligibility of a tire for replacement is subject to the final decision of tech officials. If a tire is deemed eligible for replacement, officials will remove damaged tire from your inventory, and add a new one. In the event a new tire is replaced that has less than 10 laps on it and has been approved by officials for replacement, that car will start at back of main event, and will be allowed a new tire as a replacement if the one being replaced was new for the night. Final approval is subject to decision of official.

You must run the tire you stamped in that night. There will be no “stockpiling” of tires. You must run the tires you qualify on in the heat race and the main event.

If not specified that you can do it, you probably can’t.  Check with the Tire Official and be safe.  All rules subject to Tire Official interpretations.
