There are several teams running them. Hoffmans in the sprint cars, not sure of any full time midget teams, but there are several that run with them time to time. They make a good product. Very relevant in the wing cars and micros too.

Our bare sprint car frame weighs between 180-195lbs. depending on safety cages/halo. Hoffman Auto Racing raced the entire 2013 USAC sprint car season with a Triple X and will be running them again in 2014. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to call.

Thank you,

Triple X guys....I'm extremely happy with the frame I just purchased. Can't wait to get it finished. No doubt the fit n finish on this one I have is top notch. There's always one unhappy person out there who starts a rumor, whether its due to lack of complete information or fear of a newer product taking the market by storm.

Andy ...thanks again! Can't wait to get this Triple X lightning sprint on the track along with yours, Damon's , and Scotty's! I believe we are gonna love them.

....any assistance you Triple X folks wanna give at the track on setups and handling....I'm always ready to listen!
