The Hybrid cars will have to meet strict body rules, weight a minimum of 2,500 lbs and use a Holley 500 CFM carburetor if using a V-8 engine.

The Modified class will see a weight break to all cars that comply with the series rules. Any non conforming cars must weight 2,500 lbs and MUST run a Holley 500 CFM carburetor.

The second stop takes place on Saturday, July 29 th at the Airborne Park Speedway in Plattsburgh, NY. The big half mile track has undergone a transformation in the off season with clay being put down over top of the previous asphalt surface. The tour will be part of “Legends night” at the speedway.

The following week, on Saturday, August 5 th the series heads to Geneva, NY where Paradise Speedway will be host to two separate 20 lap features for both classes. The small but smooth one third mile will be a stark contrast from the first two venues.
