Chris,
Are the rules the same as last year, do we have the option of running the ASCS gasket vs the restrictors? Moreover, what is required when using a ASCS motor?
Thank you!

I would like to see a press release announcing the new USAC West Coast Sprint Car series. Let the fans know what can be excpected this coming year. Sounds like an interesting series, but no information from Santa Maria or USAC. BTW, congratulations to Chris Kearns on a great 2009.

do we need to order by the size of the stacks since there are many different size i.d. stacks?
it would be nice if usac would put west coast series on the usac website to acknowledge the series and put schedule up along with rules on the usac sight.
thank you chris for your hard work.

From what I have been able to find out about this series is it is not a true USAC series. The "West coast 360 sprint car series" is only using USAC name for the tech and safety rules. All the races will be run by each track officials, not USAC. Looks like a dam good series. Here is the 21 race schdule at the four tracks. 3-6 Tulare, 3-13 Hanford, 3-27 Oildale, 4-3 Tulare, 4-10 Tulare, 4-17 Santa Maria, 5-8 Santa Maria, 5-29 Oildale, 6-5 Hanford, 6-19 Oildale, 6-26 Santa Maria, 7-17 Hanford, 7-24 Santa Maria, 8-7 Oildale, 8-21 Hanford, 9-11 Hanford, 9-25 Santa Maria, 10-2 Tulare and 10-16 Hanford. All dates are from each track web sites. Look like only 6 races are on the some days as the USAC/CRA race date. I know I will be going to these races.

I would really prefer to see the rules in print before ordering. Are the engine rules the same as last year? Are there three options: ASCS motor, ASCS gasket or 1 7/8 restrictor?

Down nozzles are legal in this series??? Rule says any open head and no other rule about nozzle placement anywhere. Any sized injectors legal as long as you use the ASCS legal Heads, or 1&7/8" restrictors for everyone?

1 7/8 restrictors will work as a volicity stack increasing torque at a lower RPM. so,.. if I read the rules correctly I can build a 13 degree dow nozzle engine and be legal? sheesh,.. with the right cam, 13 degree heads, down nozzles I should be able to build an engine that will creat GREAT numbers just at a lower RPM. sounds like BIG money to me!
why not go with,.. Iron block, 23 degree (original valve angle) ASCS heads OR ASCS gaskets, OR the 1 7/8restrictors?
My guess is that USAC is trying to make so that there Western States sprint car (pavement series) guys could use those engines ina dirt car if they wanted.
Next they will lower the weight limit too
OH! and by the way,.. your $120 membership will be going up to about $200 or more so USAC can get their money and really truly,, USAC will not have ANYTHING to do with your series other the the money you send them and their name on it. no officials,.. NOTHING!!

Sounds like a expensive motor that will NOT be able to run everywhere. What will the purses reflect now that USAC has gotten involved? Higher cost to build motor/membership fees/track entry fees/pit passes....a banner in turn two, will all the costs go up to race this series? Better toss transponders and radios in the mix also.

I want to know where "NOT" be able to run is?? Ventura? Because if thats what your talking about.....well then who really cares. Ventura has its own rules and they are going to do what's best for them. Well these 4 tracks have decided to do whats best for them. This gives the Nor-Cal guy's that would like to take the wing off the 360 a chance to race with this series as well. I bet you see some do it. I personally think this is good!
Trophy Cup......Best race of the year hands down!

kevin i went and looked and here is what i got for motor rules.
i too have some questions and have sent them to mr kearns as i believe in going straight to the horses mouth so to speak to get answers.
CA315 Engine Size Limits
A. 360 Cubic Inches: plus 1% maximum displacement (360 plus 1% = 363.6).
B. No aluminum blocks. No Titanium in engines, excluding valves and valve retainers.
C. Engine Rules are as follows: Legal ASCS spec cylinder head; or 1 7/8" restrictors with any open head.
D. Descriptions are as follows:
a. Spec Heads: Brodix heads part # 27-211, #27223, and #27-222 with ASCS stamp may not have any performance-enhancing alterations in any way. Intake opening no larger than original opening, the only exception being, inlet opening may be ground or polished 3/4 inches, or no further into port than the closest edge of the closest letter of the ASCS logo. During this polishing the left side of the letter "A" is sometimes inadvertently brushed with polish wheel. This is permissible as long as letter is still intact. During polishing of inlet port sometimes polish marks may go slightly further than the 3/4 inch. Intake port at no time may exceed 215 cubic centimeters. Intake port polishing will be allowed no more than 1 1/2 inches below the bottom of the original seat ring on the back side of the bowl area and no more than 1 inch on the short side. Polishing will be allowed in the combustion chamber area to avoid hot spots. Polishing will be allowed in exhaust ports as long as the original "ASCS" logo is not affected or port shape is not altered substantially.
Absolutely no intake or exhaust port relocation, raising, enlargement or reshaping of any type. Valve angle and placement may not be altered in any way on the ASCS spec head. All spec heads must remain within 1 degree of the original manufactured dimensions. ASCS checking fixtures to check the above specifications and dimensions will be used by sanctioned ASCS tracks. Any internally repaired ASCS spec head must be re-certified by Brodix.
Penalty for altered spec head will be subject to suspension, for one calendar year. Forfeit all points and moneys won, during the race which the infraction was found, and subject to a $500 fine that must be paid before reinstatement.
b. Restrictors: 1 7/8 injector restrictors may be used with any non ASCS legal spec cylinder heads. ASCS Intake gasket is no longer needed
E. Electronic or timed fuel injection will not be allowed. Only one injector nozzle per cylinder. Injection throttle body must have one shaft operated round butterfly per cylinder. Slide or barrel injectors will be not allowed.
F. All oil pans must have inspection plug, pans without plug will be subject to pan removal at anytime.
G. Engines must be normally aspirated.
H. Only two valves and one spark plug per cylinder allowed. No big blocks.
I. All heads must remain within 1 degree of original OEM valve angle. Example: Chevy- 23 degree + or -1 degree, Ford- 22 degree + or- 1 degree.
so far every question i have had mr kearns had been prompt and professional in his response which has to be a positive,as i was around for the scra 360 deal that eventually went away and due largely to no communication between organization and racers.

Regardless of what the rules are, Chris Kearns will make this series a great addition to California Sprint Car racing. You guys should feel fortunate to have a great promoter in your state and I hope you support him.

Thanks Kevin. I just hope you and Benji stay out of California or they will forget all about me!
