WE agree, to many cars just sitting. go to the track and watch sprints combined with modifieds or micros, not fun. out hear we have a senior class that could be replaced with a good spec program.

Final tire and shock tests next Tuesday, weather permitting.
Trying to find current production tires with wear and performance history that will work well with this program and at an affordable price.
Won't be long now. We just want to have the right program when announced.

We have been testing with the wing as that is the way they will run weekly at Plymouth next year.
The rules allow either and there may be some Non winged events as the car count grows.
Test went great last night. Thanks to Randy Hannigan and Joe Gearte for helping with the set up and shaking the car down.
Rules should be forthcoming from the sanctioning body.

Here is a picture of the car at Plymouth during the test.
2024 Season: Race 1 - April 20th Brownstown (Crate LM). Unlike many I don't discriminate on what racing I choose to watch.

check out northeast wingless sprints they race at New Egypt Speedway there is videos on youtube and they are on facebook, its a 602 crate wingless division...... they are a brand new division this season and seem to run ok , but seem under powered on the 1/4 mile bullrings. They have racced at Accord Speedway which is a high banked quarter mile tight corners and they don't have enough power to rotate the car on its big tires and push like dump trucks.... affordable but a little boring to watch

That hasn't been a problem in our tests at Plymouth, Mercer, PA. or at Oshweken were they are finishing their second year with this car. A lot has to do with gearing to be able to use the high torque these engines have and to just touch the chip going into the corner. We are using slightly smaller tires on both sides in the rear which helps.
