New Spec Iron Rules Posted

Regionally, Top 3 Spec Iron finishing drivers are eligible for cash prizes of $250/ $100 / $50 per race with a maximum of 2 races per NASA weekend provided a minimum of 3 class cars are competing. If 2 class cars compete, there is still a payout of $100/$50 per race. For the 2013 National Championships, Top 3 Spec Iron finishing drivers will be awarded $2500/ $1500 / $750.

Cash money. It would specify Toy Bucks or whatever if that's what they wanted it to be. I imagine this one being on Toyos will also get in on their program, etc.

Not bad. Jerry-let's each build a car and have someone else that is slower than us, too. That way I could win $500 every weekend!

So is the class "open" now? Meaning can we race in it now or is it still in the building stages of being official? Cause if its legit now I want to take a car to nationals.

Its legit and available today, this weekend even (assuming the car is legal). Three guys could team up and split $800 a race weekend...race for free.

Class was official on Tuesday. Build one and take it to Nationals at Miller this year. If you can get it ready in time, you can race it this weekend in Houston... :-)

The only question is about Toyo stuff. Spec Iron has Toyos as its spec tire but Toyo hasn't officially announced that it will be a class eligible for Toyo Bucks. Technically, they haven't announced any classes for 2013 (http://www.nasaproracing.com/contingency). The general assumption is that it will...

race for free.

Well, other than the $20K or so to build the car, gas, tires, brakes, travel, etc...

yeah but those are sunk costs because you're gonna build something and you're gonna be at the track anyway

Sweet! Now I just gotta sell my other Miata so I can start on this build!

To finish first....first you have to show up. Since you can't get but two kitchen passes a year how exactly is this going to work?
