Threded Collars to be used in Board review

[Racy-Stacey]

From Fast Track news.

IT
1.Allow threaded collar shocks and struts in the IT category. (poelti) Tables for review on the impact it would have on all classes.

I believe this could be a good thing. For instance cars that dont have a lot of spring options available to them could take advantage of this. As well as the cost for trying different springs looking for the ones that work for a certain ride height. Buying springs and springs can get expensive. Also they just dont install themselves. And Alignments fees vs. running a couple of turns to get just what your looking for. in a one shot package.

So whats your view on this if the comp board appoves it?

I don't think it has any inpact on anyone as you can already do that now, you just have to use a sleeve.

The only difference will be the "rich" people who can afford threaded body shocks wont have to spend the extra $50.00 a corner for the coilover kits.

Stacey,
If I read your question right, you seem to think you will be able to put coil overs on a car with a different type spring-torsion, leaf, etc?
This is not the intent. The intent is to allow a threaded body shock, instead of the non-attached sleeves.
The rule requiring the original type of spring would not be changed.

Al,
I see you are selling your Miata (or a Miata). Are you bringing the 510 back to C?

No no .. I understand that you will be able to change out non-ride adjustment shocks for collard shocks only.. Sorry if I gave that impression that you could run collard shocks on a leaf spring car.. didnt know I conveyed that in the least... anyhoo that wasnt my intention.

Stacey,
In that case, I agree with Raymond.
GRJ- The 510 is in the Bell Motorsports Museum. No plans to run it, but you never know.
