interested in starting to race on dirt track?

Question

i'm interested in possibly starting to race on the local dirt track in a few years and i'm wondering which type cars besides the '80 through '87 olds cutlass's are there and what type class i should run in if i decided to start. thanks

the track is in my home town if anyone is wondering

i've also thought of the possiblity of starting a track too after i get my career choice figured out

Answer 1

You need to get the track rules they are all basically the same for safety!!! BUT--- In order to pick out a Car to build and race you need to know the tracks rules for Minimum wheelbase--engine-carbeurator-intake manifold-exhaust restictions before you can make your choice. Also if the frame-engine and rear ends must match the manufacturer of the car bodies. Or if they can be mixed.--Transmissions if you can use direct drive or do you have to use a torque converter or if a Manual is allowed. This will help you determine class!!!! Hope this helps!!!! Just finished my 32nd year Of driving Sportsman Class Stock Cars I race againt Monte Carlos--Cutlasses--2 door Caprices--Delta 88s- Ford Thunderbirds!!!!

Depending on what sancion/rules you have at your track, will determine what you should do. Most people do not like the olds for some reason or another, In WISSOTA you cannot run the olds or pontiac block. why, i dunno.....but the monte carlo is the choice for street stock/superstock cars. I.M.C.A. stockcars are a great class of cars. I work at a dirt track here in Wisconsin. Best of luck in your quest.
