If those #s are true (which im sure they are) then that's just flat out domination. For the RWD to be out numbered 3 to 1 in the heats and then for them to basically make up 70%-80% of the top 10 in the feature is saying something. One thing we can all agree about is that #s don't lie lol. I don't know how many cars were in each heat but if you compare it to a normal derby with 15-20 car heats then that's 5-6 FWDs dropping to every 1 RWD. Counted 12 fwd and 16 rwd in the feature. The highest place fwd car was 7th... And that was a very well built lumina that drove very smart. |

To the guys that know the rules, would it be pretty easy to convert full weld DI cars to either the TBTC class or Kicker Class? Probably would be looking at running the kicker class but idk

IMO the rules favor Ws. There is just too much that can go wrong with them, and an inferior drivetrain. I think it's odd that rwd cars can't run a trans brace, but fwd cars can.... I doubt you'll ever see a W stay running for an hour and a half in a derby. Why split them up? Do they run wagons and sedans in different TBTC classes? Your chances aren't nearly as good if you don't have a wagon, but that doesn't mean they should be split up.... I wouldn't want them split up. The rwds have 3 big advantages imo. Drive train, having a built rear and leaf spring cars. It's so dam hard to break an axle on those bastards. Let me leaf or at least tie my trailing arm mounts into my cage and we'll talk. Now I'm not advocating for rule changes, just saying I'm bringing a rwd next time i run that class. |

I don’t run compacts but one thing that transfers from big cars to compacts is target front wheels, no matter the car that is always the weak spot, fwd will lose axles and/or steering, rwd cars will lose steering and will work the motor and trans harder plus sometimes the car might just struggle to move

Nothing to do with fwd strengths vs rwd strengths this year. All to do with team driving on both sides but the officials only throwing dirt and bitch when fwd cars teamed on a rwd car but the other way around they were fine. Inspection was a joke. We're told no patch cutting in order to place in multiple areas but turns out the majority of the rwd cars passed with that done. Was brought to Tims attn before The derby and nothing was done about it. Was the most bias shitty compact show I've ever seen. Also seen one of the compact inspectors helping rwd guys in the pits straighten their cars.....yeah...enough said
