I fully agree with running IMCA rules. I have a openwheel myself and would love to race at duckriver but not gonna waist my time while rules are so uneven. I would run my car with IMCA rules.

(My opinion) get a B-mod class and let the low budget racers get to race.Alot of cars out there that aren't running because of the ump rules.Go back to low budget racing.

If the UMP rules were so much better as you say, then why didn't the big money race draw more cars? There are a lot of open wheel drivers from west Tn that were interested in coming until they saw the UMP rules......jmo

imca rules have been working for a long time. they also run a e-mod class which works very well. either class would keep the cost way down, the cars may be a little slower, but with a good field of cars it makes good racing.

I agree,close racing is what the fans and drivers want.There needs to be rules like the IMCA or E-mod rules to keep cost down and everyone has a chance of winning.

whats the diffrence between the west,tn guys that wanted to race compared to the ump cars  nothing other than tires...and where were the imca cars at for the big race if i remember there was maybe 3 imca cars and about 7 or 8 ump cars. i agree maybe 2 classes would work a ump class and a e-mod/imca class.. imca tracks are gone not many left like there use to be.. |

Some IMCA cars haven't been back since the ump cars where allowed to run.I don't blame them,why waist their money and time to ride around the back.

you are right on the west tn cars, they are about the same as ump. imca [no roller motors, no 3,000 dollar shocks,no low friction quick change,all these are an advantage, and very costly. with the economy situation,most people are not going to spend 25 or 30 thousand to race an openwheel.and will not travel 150 ,200, miles to race weekly .rules should be area based. if the class gets back, it is going to be the local people that support it. [not trying to be negative toward anyone or any classes,just my opinion].

I believe that's why the openwheel class failed in the past,the rules got out of hand and the local guys couldn't afford a 25 or 30 thousand dollar openwheel so they quit running them.

i agree with whats beeing said from both views. i think since it was a imca rule track before give em another chance to get the cars and if they cant then maybe have a ump class and a e mod type class then. but either way ump or imca there will always be 3-5 guys that will have the money to spend and always have new tires and top of the line equipment agree???and will always be the front runners no matter the rule's package

I don't like claim rules, if you want cars to come up the pay. I would rather run my open wheel than our late model and Duck River is the closest track that runs them and it is still a 2hr. drive from North East Alabama. We don't have a high dollar car but it still does not fit all the IMCA or UMP rules, if you run either set you are going to penalize alot of drivers and cars such as mine. I beleive in open motor rules, except for all aluminum. We have an aluminum headed motor and a cast iron vortec headed motor and we did not brake the bank putting them togethe we just got good deals. Please don't penalize me with the rules if I am willing to drive the distance

whats the diffrence between the west,tn guys that wanted to race compared to the ump cars nothing other than tires Read more: duckriverspeedway.proboards.com/index.cgi#ixzz2C2dYrPqwI guess for clarification, tires are exactly the main reason why some teams decided not to run Duck River......most people run G60's in this area and have a hard time keeping up with the compounds run in UMP. So, rather than buy a new set of tires, they stay at home or run somewhere else. Bottom line, rules need to be set and enforced.....engines are a problem as well, but thats for another debate. |

The tires are not the only reason cars are staying at home or finding other tracks to run at the shocks and motors have alot to do with it as well and it will continue to be that way until something is done about the rules. Just My Opinion.
