DGNJR71, To answer your questions. SCORA is the new Sprint Car group that will run steel block engines. It stands for Sprint Car Owners Racing Association and was put together by Sam Stockon Sr. out of Terre Haute. Alot of information can be found on IOW in the posting of Steel Block Sprint Car Group. You can read all the comments of everyones ideas of how it should be run. Guys don't waste your time for it is almost completed, if you have any questions get ahold of Sam Stockon Sr. (Organizer) SCORA Sprint Series, 4501 Gaslight Estates PL124, Terre Haute, Indiana 47892 phone 812-249-0044, Email sstockonsr@games.com

it will be hard to make any racing cheap i know guys with $20,000 in a bomber to race for $200 to win it is possible to put that kind of money in a cutlass. So a sprintcar where the expensive stuff is avlailable with no research. That will be hard to where a $15,000 car wins most of the races. hopefully Sam can make it happen. What about north vernon or putnamville maybe brownstown? I know danville is dedicated to it but some of these other tracks surely would run us if we garunteed 20 cars. I dont think 20 is an unreasonable number

Not sure on the tire rule but the dt3 does seem like the best choice. After we see what kind of steel block engine we have to compete with and the cost of fuel to tow to danville we might see the big picture. We will never know if we dont try. SUPPORT THIS SERIES.

There was a 360 sprint car club that ran around here about 16-17 years ago.I cant remember right off the top of my head what it was called but my dad and myself was helping Billy Throckmorton then and he ran in this group.I think they had steel blocks and a limit on injection but dont know what it was.I believe they ran a spec rr tire to.I would half to ask my dad exactly what the rules was I was kind of young.We started helping John Althouse after that and he had been running it off and on to.Ill try to get more info.Of course that series isnt around anymore so maybe my info wouldnt be to good.

That was the Hoosier Sprint Car Club. I ran with them and it was nice group. Dan Metzinger was the manager of the organization. We ran quite a bit at Montpelier and I remember races at Danville, Terre Haute, and they even tried an ashpalt show at Plymouth. Sam Stockon Sr.

Yeah I knew Metzinger was part of it because that is when Jason his boy was driving.It was a pretty fun group to run with that I remember.I remember going to Michigan a few times with Billy to.I remember the Slade brothers running up there and I think it was Eric Slade that put his car in about the 50th row of corn outside turns 1 and 2.Billy was getting his motors from Joe Roush's dad then.

i think that as long as you have a steel block everything else can go ! for one if you start saying specific injection or headers or heads alot less people will be interrested in the series because of the money they will have to spend to be legal. and as far as a spec tire i think a right rear DT3 would be good because they are cheaper and as far as i know everyone besides paragon has the DT3 rule so these same guys could in fact participate at other tracks without having to buy new tires. And besides its only the first season lets see what happens? Good luck Mr. Stockton

I ran with the Hoosier Sprint Car Assoc. too, and it was a lot of fun. If I recall correctly, their tire rule was "any used tire":O: I say keep it simple. If you have a steel block, you're in. There will always be over funded teams that kind of spoil the fun for the shade tree mechanic, and I'm sure you will have that with this group as well. That's okay. Keeping the payout window under $1000 to win will keep most of the guys who have lots of money going to places where they pay lots of money. On the other hand, if you can, pay well DEEEEEP into the field. Give the guy who runs last or doesn't make the show enough money to have paid for his evening. He'll come back. Let the the modified guys see that they can make $200 a night to run last in a sprint car vs. $20 to run last in a modified. I would not make this a winged series. Wings are expensive. It is difficult to carry a spare wing on an open trailer. Wings make big motors more necessary. Wings eat up tires. $.02

a 4x4 top wing "only" will make it "look" like a cheap class. leave the wings off.

Steel block, no wing, small right rear, all else goes. Let the fancy injector guys see if they can hook up.
