There will be no weight adjustment for fuel bladders. Reasons for the postponement of the bladder rule. 1. In this economy it allows teams a little more time to afford them. 2. No other tracks are enforcing it yet. 3.It allows cars from other tracks to run this weekend. Any questions you can call Don at 559-799-5887.

Wasn't Don in on the Rule with Bubby? I remember a big discussion about the weight rule and a post about Keading (?) having a special price on the bladders.
Driven Performance, Pace Chassis and PMP all have run posts about having bladders and getting them before July 1, 2010.

Try Clay Cup, they used to make an exception for cars from tracks did not require bladders. You could of done the same thing.
Most racers don't worry about the cost of racing or they would not be in the sport.
Live up to your rules!!!!
This is why racers leave a track and go someway else. Even if they have to drive 3+ hours.

after reading the post on this page i think it is a grate thing that don is doing for the people who's racing on a budget. but for some people it gives them something to cry over. so what if they have the fuel bladder befor July 1st, some of us cant pull money out of our ass in this hard economic time, we are grateful enough just to race when we can. this one time bladder exception for this race is nice because it gives us more time (July3- august5) to acquire a bladder. its just one race..... no reason to get a butt hurt. Its going to be mandatory no matter what so don't get your panties in a bundle. its just one race. if you dont like it, shut your trap! are you afraid to be beat by a budget racer? hahaha  |

Very seldom do I post you guys are crazy!!!the simple cost of safety is the concern why not just leave the helmet off too it's lighter? The cost of a skin graft far outweighs a fuel bladder! You made a rule and are not enforcing it shame on you! This is a track safety rule.if you can,t afford to race then watch those that can or better yet follow napcar!! Very embarassing to this sport

have you guys seen a fire that started at the bladder or have the fires started at the carbs that is the weak link not the bladders , we have a little plastic fitting at the carbs that brakes and or the fuel line comes off why don't you fix that its only a $100 fix

Give me a break!!! If they have not saved up for the bladder yet, they don't have any intention to. I guarantee they did not have a problem coming up with money for tires etc. to make the car fast! Some people just don't care about the safety of themselves or their child. I ran a bladder and the replacement AN connectors on the carbs plus a fire suppression system in my sons car before the rule was even brought up. Why? Because I did not want to see my child hurt and wish I had done more in the safety department.
