Cooper, Flying Monkeys son will be coming and may run his Matt Francis. He's never run the truck or run dirt oval and they dont have a 19t motor. Do you care if he runs a 12t or something like that? Or do you have a 19t he could run?

The oval is hooked up. It was pretty smooth last night and there were about 10 people there running. We all made some practice laps getting tuned up and dialed in and it started raining right at race time. Its gonna be fun over there this summer.

What all has to be done to convert a stadium truck to a sprint car? Im looking to do this the cheapest possible as I wont be able to make that drive very often. 90 minutes each way is a bit salty with gas prices.

conversion kits or home remedy

Check dirtoval.com , lots of coversions and ideas there. I don't know of any trucks that use Sprint bodies though. The ones I've seen were using the truck wedge style. Any old 2wd buggy is perfect for sprint. Just put cheap plastic touring shocks on it and foam tires.
