[–] jaackf@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) Excuse my ignorance, is that kind of like NASCAR racing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yes but generally the tracks are smaller. We're running 1/4 mile but we've also got 1/3 and 1/2 mile tracks somewhat close to us. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jaackf@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) Oh cool! Is it fairly expensive? I can imagine you're going through a few sets of tyres? What cars are you racing? (sorry, 20 qs!) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 years ago We're racing what's called a sportsman series. We're actually running a specific engine, crate 602 that's regulated so you can't change anything so it keeps it cheaper. We're running that on an 88 Chevy Monte Carlo frame. To keep costs down the track does a tire bank. You get 6 tires at the beginning of the season then you earn 1 tire for every 2 races you race. permalink fedilink source parent
