Street Stock
Division -
sponsored by Budget Car and Truck RentalSponsored
by Budget Car and Truck Rental, the
Street Stock Division is one of the most common
divisions in North America with
almost every track having some version of a Street Stock. Based originally on a
domestic car with a minimum wheelbase of 108 inches, the favourites are Camaros,
Firebirds and Monte Carlos with full roll cage and driver safety systems.
Street
Stocks are limited in chassis to what was originally offered with the car from
the factory and limited in suspension to family line (GM to GM etc.) components
that fit without modifications. Tires are limited to Street type radial tires
P235/70 series (much like a pick up truck may have) mounted on maximum
eight-inch wide racing rims. Engines are limited to low compression cast iron
350 CID with two barrel carburetors and cast iron manifolds. Minimum weight is
3200 lbs with driver and only 55% of that weight may be on the left side of the
car.
While these cars originally started life as a street driven automobile,
they are lightened by cutting away all of the inner body structures and have
enough adjustments to make them handle very well. Limitations on engines and
performance parts help keep big money from dominating but put it in the hands of
the drivers and crew, making Street Stock some of the most competitive racing
seen anywhere.Drivers - Please review your
