You can not just show up to a NASCAR race, although easier than F1, you still have to have their approval of the equipment and Brett Bodine has to approve the driver. If you don't have any "narrow...

I was listening to the competition meeting when they brought up the weight rule. Soooo, you have to add weight to make the minimum. You also spend thousands on titanium bolts and carbon fiber seats...

Question: Why do big paying races get less cars?

2 options:

1. You turn them back in every time you buy a drum of fuel.
2. You keep them and refill them at places that sell methanol out of a fuel pump. This is the cheaper option.

I don't...

I think it isn't they they don't like the track, their payout from 2nd on back does not break even. You have to win. $720 for a set of rears that you will wipe out.

Re: XTreme Outlaw Races Cancelled

You've obviously never had to get in a sprint car.

Head and neck restraint device, head sock, helmet, belts, someone to tighten you, and someone to push you up to the staging area.

Yes it does. It does not have a specification, just that there has to be one. An insert from Shoenfeld or a physical muffler, either is accepted.
