new class for the S197s that effectively got punted out of CMC
It looks pretty cool, and shocks are still free (up to $1000 per axle) but they sure locked down everything else with "spec" parts. The 26 pounds wheels (ack!) and camber plates and EVERYTHING is spec'd. Oh well...
They want you to earn that money that Ford is putting out there for as few as 2 cars in class
I'm sold. I like when all parts are spec. Saves a lot of money having to test crap to fig out what works! I also like that you can use adj spring perches and a better diff cover!!! Lol
I'm curious to see how the series takes off, I'm sure some regions will see more growth than others. Heck, TX hasn't even seen an S197 CMC car but I know there are quite a few people that have talked about them.
I am personally at minimum 2-3 years from even considering building a new car so it will be nice to see how things go.
If NASA and Ford want, and will make one appear in my driveway, I will campaign it for them to help promote the series.
So what kind of money is ford offering? Are they checks in my pocket after a win or is it more Toyo bucks that will only buy u one tire?

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.
