Looks like they had quite a variety of racecars. Thanks for posting all these pics, Bill! Big and small block mods, vintage modifieds, midgets 1/4 midgets, 3/4 midgets, super late models, limited late models, 410 sprints, 360 (URC) sprints, wingless sprints, micro sprints, super sportsmen (limited sprints at Bridgeport), asphalt modifieds, ARCA/NASCAR stock cars, vintage roadsters, and drag cars.

The car with the little wing on the back is made by Richie (Toby) Tobias Jr (who makes the slingshots) and is called a SpeedSTR. I had the pleasure of watching Toby Jr shake down a prototype of this car (called the "Titan" at that time) two years ago at Margarettesville during a special slingshot race.

SPEEDSTR EVENTS GET FANS INVOLVED

~ Rich Tobias has created the open-wheel SpeedSTR to combat the rising costs of racing and to keep all competitors on an even playing field.The $18,000 ready to race MOPAR racer has seen orders making it's way to the production areas with a 2008 racing schedule hitting the road with some interesting extras putting the fans first and foremost.

The SpeedSTR is a 1050 lb. midget-type racer with a small top wing and no front wing that is capable of racing on dirt and asphalt surfaces with minimal changes needed.MOPAR Power will be the exclusive powerplant as the Dodge Neon engine will have modifications making it a real treat when you mash the gas pedal and get this 72" wheelbase racer around your local speedway.

After extensive testing many drivers have inquired about taking their test time one step farther and have ordered SpeedSTR's in hopes of becoming the 1st Champion of this touring series.

Among some of the drivers that will be seen at the speedways are former ARDC and modified chauffeur Doug Rose,modified star Andy Burkhart,former Syracuse winner Rich Tobias,limited sprint standout Timmy Long,Steve "The Traveler" Hicks,New York racer John Gallup and multi-talented Paul Kline.When there are no scheduling conflicts look for NASCAR owner Ray Evernham and former WoO sprint driver Erin Crocker to do some wheeling and dealing as they were much impressed with their recent testing in North Carolina and have made it known SpeedSTR purchases are in the near future.2007 Slingshot by Tobias National Champion Billy "The Blast" VanInwegen,Jr. will be a part of the Evernham Developmental Program that will find the 15 year old getting added seat time in these radical racers.Slingshot hotshoe Kevin Albert will be taking his talents to the small block modified wars in 2008 but has expressed a desire to become a SpeedSTR challenger when he is not touring the local speedplants.The West Coast drivers have also shown a desire to become a part of this venture as DES Motorsports based in California will take delivery of a SpeedSTR and fit their schedule in to attend as many races as possible.

The fans will get a chance to select a hero and villain as Tobias will be turning SpeedSTR's over to drivers that the track or in some cases the fans will decide on who will get behind the wheel and take on the SpeedSTR regulars.Brian Weaver and Mike Gular put on a great show for the Penn Can faithful and word is that both would like a second shot at strapping into the sleekly styled speed machines.

Fans quite possibly could be seeing Brett Hearn,Jeff Strunk,Craig Von Dohren,Fred Rahmer and other racing stars battle the SpeedSTRites when the schedule hits your regular track.

Fan interaction will be a priority with in-car cameras bringing the fans a different view of the action.Meet and greet photo and autograph sessions will be commonplace as the fans need to realize that without them,racing would not exist as it does today and the SpeedSTR drivers appreciate your time spent watching them race.

Each scheduled SpeedSTR event will have VIP tickets available that will be used for after-race parties and other added items like getting your photo taken in victory lane and SpeedSTR merchandise.

Kids are not forgotten as give-aways and other items of interest will keep the younger race fans entertained and enlightened as they watch the evening's race program.

The Speedway Entertainment Trailer will become the mecca of excitement when the SpeedSTR Tour makes an appearance at your speedway.

Include the SpeedSTR Tour in some of your 2008 racing plans.
