ChumpCar racing is great, but if you are like many ChumpCar drivers, road racing is something you don’t do every week. So, we’ve created this handy-dandy checklist of the best equipment for ChumpCar racing, so you and your ChumpCar team will arrive at the track ready to race, not ready to panic.
Let’s face it, racing can be expensive, especially compared with something like club soccer. There have however, been several recent efforts to lower the cost of racing. With these in mind, we set out to build a fun, reliable racecar that keeps costs low.
The powers that be for the ChumpCar World Series have announced their plans for the 2015 race season, and it contains more than 50 events throughout the year at tracks like Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, Lime Rock and Sebring International. Additionally, due to some IRS restrictions, ChumpCar has announced plans to continue racing activities in Canada by way of the ChumpCar Canada “club”. As they explain it, this design will still allow members from either side of the border to compete in each other’s events, though voting influence will be restricted to nationality, and most importantly, Uncle Sam is kept at bay. The Chumps also spelled out some changes to the Central and Eastern region boundaries as well.
It’s not every day we get to report on the founding of a new option for amateur racing. So it’s with a fair bit of excitement that we bring you news of the World Racing League, a recently founded sanctioning body which seems to bridge the gap between the “almost anything goes” fast and loose style of ChumpCar and the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance leagues and the costlier options from sanctions like SCCA and NASA.
