NASCUP LAUNCHES AT ORAN PARK
25 May 2008

Following in the tradition of Aussie Racing Cars which is now recognised as Australia’s most successful motor racing category comes a new class of car that will offer similar excitement and driving thrills to a whole range of people who wish to get in to motorsport.

The cars are half sized replicas of the famous NASCAR Sprint Cup Super Speedway cars that race every weekend on America’s traditional oval layouts. They employ a strong typically American NASCAR type space frame chassis powered by a 1.3 litre Yamaha engine with water cooling. The safe and robust chassis is draped in a fibreglass shell that replicates the famous body styles that are so well known on the famous tracks across the US including Daytona, Talladega and Indianapolis.`

In Australia there is a growing following of NASCAR with all the events being shown here on live and pay TV. The interest here has never been higher with home grown heroes like Marcos Ambrose joining the fray to continue his racing career in the category.

 The new NASCUP racing cars will provide a wonderful opportunity for everyone in Australia to share in the excitement of this amazing category and enable anyone with the passion to race to get out on to the track behind the wheel.

The NASCUP class of car will be integrated in to other CAMS classes and as more cars come on stream and fields grow to acceptable levels stand alone events will be sanctioned.
 
Although half size they pack a real performance punch topping speeds of 200 plus KPH on the straightaways. Unequal length wishbone front suspension points the car into the corners with power transmitted to the track via a live rear axle that incorporates a Winters full race quick change unit offering unlimited and optimum final drive gear selection for any track.   4 wheel disc brakes are huge incorporating full cockpit adjustable bias adjustment that stop the car at an amazing heart stopping rate.

Cars are available in a whole range of complete ready to race and kit form options. The home mechanic can easily assemble a car from a kit that can be tailored to suit your budget. The best and most cost effective package is just $19,995 which includes all the major parts to get your car rolling less engine and its ancillaries.

Not only will you get full support for your new project from the company that is recognised as the most experienced in the industry but you will be financially assisted with sponsored entry fees for your first 2 events that you enter the car in.
