I never knew how expensive the swing axle would be to run so it got me thinking of what could be if some changes were made. I'm not pushing for these changes, it's more of just a way to let some creativity out because i'm cheap and don't want racing to cost a ton.Here are my thoughts:IRS transmission. 3-rib 002, any gears, any R&P, but have a $2500 claimer rule on the trans to keep the super high dollar Weddle stuff out of there. Keep the same motor rules so the transmission only has to be checked once or twice a year.930 Cv's, no microstubs. Same rear arm rules as current 1600 class but keep current class 9 rules so you can keep your current shock setup. Allow disc brakes but again, no microstubs.I figure with these rules you could re-do the rear of your car for less than $5k and it should last for a full year of racing with those parts. For the front, allow a link pin front end, stock reinforced arms and spindles, and disc brakes. Any manufacture beam. 8 inch shock no bypass reservoir's allowed. Electric power steering allowed. A front end could be redone for $2500 roughly and would last just as long as the current setup. Lower the minimum weight for a two seat car to 1400 and raise the single seat weight up to 1600 to try to even the field a little bit.Any other thoughts?</blockquote>
