I was also wondering if anybody had suggestions on what chassis I should look for. Does a wingless chassis have much of an advantage over a winged chassis?
Check out www.rushsprintcars.com for more information about the series. Points champion will receive a minimum of $5,000. |
Welcome to IOW, I too have been exploring the non-wing Spec/Crate sprint classes around, I'm hoping we can get one started here in Georgia or South Carolina. As far as the Full on non-wing sprints they have the BOSS series up near you. Also at Path Valley Speedway they what are called the "Non-wing Super Sportsman Sprints", but I haven't got clear rules on them. I'll try and break down by region what I know so far. Search some of these names on youtube, like "UMSS Traditional Sprints", "Northeast Wingless Sprints" and "Elite Sprints". The links I've included below should give you an idea of what its like. There seems to be a boom nationwide, I hope it continues.
Regardless of rules the majority of these sprints make between:
400HP(GM602 w/4 barrel)
upto
480HP(Racesaver 305 with injection) all the other packages fall in between.
Everybody also runs Methanol for fuel.
Northeast Wingless Sprints: (Ny & NJ)
they run at New Egypt and Accord Speedways, NY or NJ I think. They have several videos on youtube and I 'll provide a few links. These cars use the 602, 4 barrel carb and a bert transmission(which isn't popular with traditional sprint racers)

Wilmot Speedway Non-wing sprints: (Wisconsin)
These are essentially a traditional wingless sprint, but use the GM604 instead of GM602, with 4 barrel carb.

Elite Sprints: (Mainly Texas)
These guys are in Texas and are what called a "Racesaver 305" sprint. These guys actually use the same constant flow fuel injection as USAC 410's only smaller.
