Yes Platte City is usaually a very good track. That being said how many of the venues that were used by the Outlaws this year, with the same prep, have been used by our class before as a comparison? BIG difference in the tracks for the small organization pulls in this area.
I have no idea, I am saying the tracks I have been at that the outlaws prepped, 2 of them were fantastic, and 2 of them were so so. You could tell by the dirt which were the better tracks, so it appears that if the outlaws have good dirt they can build a good track, not that if they show up the track will be good
How many hooks does an average 2.6 truck make in a summer? We are in the 20-30 events this year. If the SRW rule would greatly reduce the drive line breakage (2-3 hooks v 7-10 is pretty drastic to me, maybe I am wrong there), what would be the hurt to try it on these "tight" tracks in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana for 2014? I think that the breakage in the last 5-10' would be reduced. By how much...who knows?
I think your "who knows" statement was what I was trying to say. I was interpreting that folks were saying the SRW rule had eliminated the driveline issues in the 2.6 class. Yes the 7-10 is an improvement, of course if your big pull your wanting to win, is from 7-10 then it might not be so good. Of course what about SRW 33x12.50 and a 20" hitch height? Problem solved eh?
What is the alternative at this point that others want to see?
That is all for me. Z you can continue to pad your post count in assumptions and opinions on the topic if you want. How many 2.6 hooks are you up to in 2013 anyway?
I am not saying that the SRW isn't an improvement over the DRW, but what about the DRW at 24" height?
Again, I don't have anything against the SRW 2.6 rule, but the impression I got from the posters has been proven as a solution by the 2.6 SRW class the outlaws are trying.
Other than Rob Hall, who has pulled the SRW 2.6 of the outlaws and placed in the top 5 at a national event?
As far as my 2.6 hooks in 2013, big fat zero, and a whopping 4 in 2012.
Of course the 2.6 class up here, doesn't line up with anyone else's.
