USAC Racing Forum

Am I correct in that QMA voted down the RCP for letting the keys remain as legal for the Honda 120 in 2009 and it will be flywheels only?

RCP's 29 & 30 were not included in the RCP's that passed which indicates that they were either pulled or failed.

The RCP's that passed can be viewed here http://www.quartermidgets.org/Article_View_Page.asp?ID=1100


Either the key or flywheel are legal in USAC though.

you are correct

thanks guys.  I'm not going to rip on QMA but having either as a solution just seems to be the better option for the same result on the timing of the motor.

I don't think you will find many people to disagree with you.

Just think about it, if Honda provides money to QMA, after people buy their new flywheels, how much of that money did they make back?  So basically the members are contributing to the money that Honda donates.

What’s next, discontinuing the Tier II motors and making everyone buy the Tier III?  That’s why I opted to just sell my tier II’s and buy the III’s last year before upgrading, refreshing etc.


Timing = Timing, still trying to understand the big deal or difference???

The difference is that one of Dave Preston's friends needed to make a buck and probably kicked some of it back to him in the process.

same reason they shot down the spec tire $$$$$$$$$$$$ im tired of the bashing going on but how can someone watch this go on without being discouraged. thats why certain people are so anti-usac because they reep the benefits of being a qma puppatier!!!!!

Who is dave preston.   We are new to all of this and just trying to figure out why people are for usac and people are for qma.

Hey did anybody see if they approved the 10,000$ for the "tech trailer"?Dave preston is the natl. tech.

Is that opposite of a musketeer ssssmoke? ;D

yep 2fast, bracing  the last indoor is outlaw because if it was qma the race would of been short way to many racecars due to usac racers not joining qma. if you want to race hard and fun better go usac. im not in any way affiliated with either usac or qma but i feel im making the best decision for my family,sponsors , and raceteam. make your own decision and good luck!

Hey Guys just compare schedules, there's your choice. Our family will have a great year being at some awesome events.

I say forget the politics and go racing. My only concern is going to be the cost of running both tire bills are going to sky rocket!!!!

my tire bill is going to be the same as last year when we ran qma as this year with usac. with one more car!

I agree bracing, come-on Saturday.

They are legal as long as you dont get teched.  Dont let the flywheel stop you from coming out and having fun with us this summer.  The rules are more like guidelines anyway.

I wish they performed tech more often so you didn’t have members running illegal motors for 2 years before actually getting tore down and DQ'd.  That’s what sucks.

just wondering if everyone heard how messed up honda is with our sport?  they get about 1/4 million in new flywheel sales for 2009 and then cut the grands money to 3k per grands, down 7k from the last oh say 10 years or more?? bigh hurt there and how do you subsidize? honda suks!!

Maybe they cut the grand’s money because they want to give some to USAC this year?  LOL

We all know that Briggs is the future of Quarter Midgets and Honda should stick to generators, trenchers and power washers...
