Building a Dirt Track Car
I race a dirt late model. You must be talking about Tazewell speedway. No other track besides Thunder Hill have that kind of banking. Not to be a buzzkill.... but you want Motor and you want tire! I'd carry the weight and have a late model tire. The mopar sounds awesome and I own 3 of them... but the torsion bar suspension has horrible geometry when you see them on dirt tracks. They do some really weird camber loss and gains. I would probably budget for $6k engine minimum and $8k in a chassis etc. you can buy a hell of a nice Crate Late model turn key for $15k. You'd be racing and spending the money for a labor of love at that point.
