Beast vs. Maxim

fasster23 · 12/27/10, 4:17 AM

I am curious what the differences are between a Beast chassis and say an Eagle or a Maxim dirt car? I'm from Missouri so theres no USAC shows around here so I don't know much about them. I've never seen a Beast chassis before and always wondered why no one around here runs them. I'm referring to non-wing obviously. Are they different wheelbases? I think a Crown car is something like 102" so I get that. USAC doesn't post their rules on their site that I have found, and Beast doesn't have any info on their site either. What other chassis do the USAC guys run? Sprints or Crown cars?

I dont believe Beast has a dirt sprint car.. I thought i had heard bob built chassis for DG #71 team i think? but you couldnt get your hands on any.. I could be totally off base with that, just something i thought i had read on here.. They do make dirt Silver crown cars.. and alot of teams do own dirt Silvercrown cars, and pavement they are still the car to beat both Sprint and Silvercrown.. build a damn good dirt and pavement midget as well..

Beast is building Dirt Sprint cars. Mitch Wissmiller just got one. Haven't seen it so can't tell you what the differences are.

There are a few subtle differences, but the Beast car is a 4-bar with pickup points similar to a Maxim or Eagle.

I didnt know that they were made for everyone... my bad.. Is that what bobby was driving this year as well at all the dirt tracks?

So what does most of the guys run in the Sprint Car series. I didn't think they ran Maxims and Eagles on the dirt. Beast and I guess Dynamite build most of the asphalt cars?

I go to many dirt races as a fan. I see Maxims,xXx,drc, and Chalk, just about every week.
