Several of the guys from Citrus have approached Robert Yoho at Showtime about creating a “Pro Mini Stock” class at his track. These are what the Mini Stock class was before they evolved into a Late Model with a 4cyl engine.
There are TONS of these cars sitting, Mustangs, Celicas, VW’s, Daytonas Pintos and even some pickup trucks. Initial ideas are to run a version of the Citrus rules from last year, but allow a 15" vacuum rule to allow cars from other tracks to race as well. The goal is to keep the rules simple to save the racer money, but at the same time accommodate the cars that are near race ready and currently sitting. This would also be a great way for guys that are dominating in the “Hornet” or “Mini Stock” divisions the opportunity to move with little extra cost and to race against a more advanced group of drivers. Yoho will obviously have the final say so on what goes, at this point we are looking to see what kind of interest and response we get, and who has what sitting on jack stands. If you have one of these cars and would like to help make this happen, send me a message with your email address and contact info.
