Dirt vs. Asphalt Chassis

'Im interested in learning the basic differences between dirt and asphalt chassis for sprint cars. Also, it is my understanding that some of the little 500 teams actually run 6 cylinder engines. What cubic inch size are these? Thanks in advance.

Hi Lenny. Asphalt cars have coil over front suspension, lower frame height, longer wheel base, bigger brakes, weigh more, right hand steering, and are offset to the left (slightly) V6 engines are 262? maybe ask Chicchillo him and AJ probably ran one back in the day
