Indiana Open Wheel - View Single Post - Hey Charles - Here's a thought for you on Spec. Sprint Cars.

Except they're not Sprint Cars, 2" x 4" framerails. 90" wheelbase, engine 44.5" out. I don't know the area's history, but I'd guess they're an evolution of an old Supermodified class. Common chassis specs make everyone happier.

Take a look at the UMSS rules. They're close to perfect. A guy can build a junkyard LS that makes the same power and is just as reliable as a $20,000 Racesaver. Or a Crate; 602, 604, and recently added CT525 w/restrictor. Or a 350 B-mod engine. Actually one of my complaints with their rules is too many engine options, but that all depends on what you're familiar with or already have in the shop.

To be clear, I'm not dissing the Super Sportsman as a class.
