Stafford Speedway Releases Rulebooks for its NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Racing Divisions
Stafford Springs, CT — Stafford Motor Speedway has released rulebooks for each of its five NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing Series divisions for the 2010 season. All five rulebooks can be found online at SMS Online located at www.staffordspeedway.com by clicking on the DOWNLOADS/RULES tab found on the home page. All rules changes from 2009 to 2010 are highlighted in red bold, italicized, and underlined type.
“Finalizing our 2010 rules this early in the off-season allows our regular competitors as well as any new competitors that are looking to race with us next year to see what they need for their cars and they can begin their off season work to get a head start on the 2010 season,” said SMS COO/GM Mark Arute. “The fewer changes we make, the less changes our competitors have to make to their cars over the off-season. We had great car counts and excellent competition in each of our five divisions this year and we anticipate another great season in 2010.”
Stafford’s two open wheel modified divisions have virtually no changes for the 2010 season. The SK Modified® Spec Engine can run Sunoco Supreme gasoline and there is a clarification on the SK Modified® intake manifold rule for both spec and non-spec engines. There were also adjustments to the rearview mirror rule, and the roll bar rule has been updated to include anti-intrusion plates and a foot protection bar. The SK Light Modified division has changed only the Engine Exhaust Rule, allowing Kooks mufflers and allowing an S.F.I. harmonic balancer. For the SK Light division, the minimum age requirement for drivers has been lowered to 15 years of age.
For the Late Model division, the B-Engine and the Spec Engine (C-Engine) will be allowed to run the 2nd generation Edelbrock 2101 intake manifold and both engines will have the option of Canton #85-060 or the #85-065 carb spacers to run. All three Late Model engine combinations will be permitted to run Lobak or Kooks mufflers and cowl air induction. The B-motor will be required to convert to the spec oil pan with an option of an inspection plug.
Stafford’s Limited Late Model division all body measurements in 2010 will be done with NGB or S2 type templates. Non-spec engine cars will be permitted to run the 2nd generation 2101 Edelbrock intake manifold and run the Canton #85-060 or the #85-065 carb spacer. Spec engine cars must have the same overall car weight and left side weight percentage as non-spec engine cars, and Spec Engine cars can run the Kooks mufflers. There is also a new gear rule for both spec and non-spec engine cars. The minimum age requirement for Limited Late Model drivers has been lowered to 15 years of age.
For the DARE Stock division, a GM ploy front fender will be permitted, a triple reinforced fiberglass roof will be permitted, and there is a new rule for the battery location. The minimum age requirement for DARE Stock drivers has been lowered to 14 years of age.
