West Coast 360 Sprinters Rules Revision |
|
(April 10, 2009) --- In an effort to provide more race teams with competitive racing and after fielding many inquiries and doing research with various engine builders, the West Coast Sprinters have elected to provide an option to run the popular ASCS style racing heads, without an ASCS restrictor type intake gasket. The ASCS 360 sprint car is a conventional car seen at most sprint tracks throughout the U.S. There are a set of rules governing modification allowed to these heads. This means that if you run a 360 sprint car today, you are required to install an intake gasket to interrupt the intake air flow. This interruption is designed to reduce the air flow to reduce speed. The hope is that the intake gasket acts as an "equalizer." There will now be an option to run ASCS spec heads, without the ASCS gasket. The effect of this change will be to enable a race team that has ASCS heads to run throughout the U. S. without making costly changes in the engine. This change should reduce the over-all cost of 360 racing. If you currently run open heads, you will be required to continue with the intake gasket. Again, the intent of this change is to allow more racers more places to race. This change will be in effective as of April 18, 2009 and will be allowed and enforced at all West Coast Sprinter Tracks, Kings Speedway, Santa Maria Speedway and Bakersfield Speedway for any West Coast 360 Sprinter points race. |
