Hobby Stock questions?

[tjracing29]

I'm looking at the Hobby Stock rules but I have some questions:
1. can we use floater Ford 9"? Or do we have to use Non-Floater style?
2. Can we use racing shocks? Never worked on a hobby stock out here so I have no idea.
3. What kind of gear are most people using out here in Fallon?
4. 602 Crates are legal for use correct? I spoke with john about this briefly, but i want to be sure.
Thanks!

The last that we remember you cannot run the floater style. You can use race shocks as long as they mount in OEM stock location for that car. the gears are between 650 and 700. And no the 602 crate motor is not legal because it has vortex heads and aluminum intake which are both illegal in the hobby stock class.

I believe the track needs to update their rules an 602 crate is a stock gm 350 engine 350hp which has been made for more than 18 yrs now. Vortec engines are stock in all newer gm vehicles for the last 18 yrs.. Just my opinion..
IMCA has the engines in their rules running 4412 carb....
I know there are a few vehicle in that class are putting out a lot more than 350 hp.
