I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the Crate American Racing Series (C.A.R.S.). A newly formed, non-touring, Late Model weekly racing series, utilizing G.M. Performance Parts Crate Engines.

C.A.R.S. was formed by a group of area track promoters, car owners, and track officials who realized the need for an economical solution to today’s rising cost of racing. We are a group dedicated to doing something about it!

C.A.R.S. will provide a GUARANTEED $10,000.00 to win ALL CASH PRIZE plus a NEW C.J. Rayburn Chassis, a New Bert Ball Spline Transmission & more for the 2006 C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series Late Model National Champion.

For the convenience of you, the weekly racer, C.A.R.S. utilizes current Late Model car and body rules. The ONLY significant difference is what’s under the hood. C.A.R.S. Late Models use the GM Performance Parts 602 or 604 Circle Track Racing Engines. A substantial savings for the budget racers over today’s cost of current Late Model and even Modified engines.

Hoosier Tire will add even more value to your program by providing a hard compound spec tire, the WRS-2-55, with no grooving or siping allowed.

Our rules create a closeness of competition that makes the C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series exciting and affordable to compete in.

An annual $65.00 competition driver’s license will allow you to compete at ANY C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series Track and earn weekly points.

We have been in contact with area promoters and many have expressed interest in running the C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series.

Are you interested in racing an affordable Late Model Class? Help us let these Promoters know who is looking to participate in our series. Become more informed about the C.A.R.S. Weekly Racing Series, our awards programs, and the goals of our association for you the racer.

We want to hear from you!
