Just to clarify further, must we use standard steel (instead of corrosion-resistant or even galvanized steel) for the body and chassis? Also, which of the three chassis types (ladder, monocoque, space frame) are allowed?

There is no restriction on chassis types that I am aware of.

as the rule states steel but does not state what types I am assuming that you could only use steel in its base form.
@07CobaltGirl can you please advise when possible.

rule: lower safety > 30
race tracks (shame there is no oval yet):
QLD Raceway, Lagunca seca and Diablo

@07CobaltGirl, for what I understand the rules actually don’t forbidden SOHC/DOHC, they only limit the number of valves. In this part I suggest that you really limit it, writing what is forbidden.

About the bodys, you could take pictures of the bodys that you don’t wan’t to be used and sen them to @Darkshine5, so he can post them with the rules, making some others classic muscle bodys available.

And I would like to say that I really liked the rules, looks like it will be a fun challenge!

If you note she said “sohc/dohc-4” referring to the the number of valves, as sohc 2+3 and dohc 2 are still options.

Oh, you’re right!
I’m sorry the mistake!

No problem, though I’m sure it was hard for @07cobaltgirl to allow OHC engines in a NASCAR race ;p

@nialloftara Damn skippy it was hard to allow OHC on a NASCAR challenge! I ALMOST limited it to TWO valves only, but…it was the 80s…when 3v engines really became the norm on the US roadways. I knew if I said no OHC period, it would automatically be the “one rule changed”, so I opted for only limiting valves. Of course, in the real NASCAR, they are still OHV only, even today!

@Darkshine5 No restrictions on chassis types what-so-ever, but steel can be any type of steel…no aluminium or fiberglass. Stock cars of the 80s were still welded bodies from actual cars, afaik. And there should really be an oval track choice! Oh, and thanks for eliminating turbos. I can’t believe I forgot that! I had it when i was typing the rules into here, but the Firefox crashed or something, so I wrote them up on a document and then copy/pasted them in here the second time.

Daytona Superspeedway is a thing.

I also have done Charlotte Motor Speedway and I think I did Indianapolis Speedway too. But none of these were chosen for these challenges, and I think that is what Air Jordan was expressing. :slight_smile:

Let me rectify the non-oval situation, I always liked Daytona and shall add it to the tracks.

And the chassis can be galvanized and corrosion resistant?

Is it possible to make Daytona a flying lap, pretty please with a cherry on top?

yeah i can work on making it flying lap

Updated flying lap NASCAR Circuit for Daytona International Speedway can be found in OP here.

I thought AirJordan was picking the tracks. Anyway, thanks for making the flying lap and thanks to @Darkshine5 for including it.

I have precisely 0 spare minutes to work on this challenge, but I foresee something getting rescheduled.

Yes yes exactly that!
So @Darkshine5 if Daytona flying is now part of this challenge than I would prefer switch diablo for daytona flying oval.

Well, he is picking the tracks, but not from all tracks. Only from the list of tracks in the OP, none of which were ovals.

I tried to make a prototype, but I can’t sell it because of the fuel (super leaded), it isn’t available at the country, so I can’t fulfill the last rule.
