About mini trucks?

[hurricane7]

i have seen guys spend less then a thousand dollars .buy a cheap snowmobile like a  ss yamaha or anything that has a 440 fan with cdi  .take the moter in for refresh.polish the exhaust ports only get some power reeds with the rebuild and  then you are good to go i should say that when you rebuild use only origanal gaskets from dealer  because of thickness issues your rebiult should be no more then 800.00 hundred bucks ..also this way you have something to ride in the wintor.so figure that if you get a snowmobile for 1000.00 + rebuild your about 1800.00 or so but then you can ride both.but it would be cheaper yet if you rebuilt your own moter then you would be about 400.00 hundred in parts that would include new pistons rings ;gaskets and seals etc..once rebuilt always run your oil at 32 to 1 your moter will last for 2 or 3 years without a rebuilt.

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned the 9 hp microsprints. Very competitive. Not much slower than the 13 hp trucks. Obviously not as balistic as the 440s. Fairly cheap between 2&4 thousand for a decent car. That's what I'm racing next year.

The 9 hp class is a very good class. Tight racing, and, as you said cheap.

Too bad the 13 hp sprint car class didn't work out, they had identical motors to the trucks, only on the sprint chassis, weighing way less (I think about 200-250 lbs less??) and costing less, as they didn't have suspension parts and body work to worry about. They were every bit as fast or faster than the trucks for exactly the same price of a 9 horse car, the difference maybe being 200 dollars more for the larger engine at max. I think 4 grand would easily put you out front in that class. Too bad that class isn't still around.

9hp is the way to go, then if you're having fun and liking the racing deal, start investing in the FULL SIZE stuff, i started in the 9hp, i know a lot of guys that did, good place to get you're feet wet, but then MOVE ONTO TO FULL SIZE CARS AND/OR TRUCKS.

street stock 33 I don't know where you race but from experience at Delaware to be half decently competitive street stock you need to spend $30,000 plus. One of our team drivers who has driven everything from enduro to super mods told me that a 440 microsprint is easily one of the most evil fast cars he's ever driven. Next year having a new track (1/4 mile progressive banking) & as smooth as silk, scale racing may be the fast way to go!
