The American Short Trackers are more of a production automobile, using the production body, wheelbase and engine of the smaller cars with a wheelbase of less than 103 inches, like Mustangs, Grand Am, Caviler and Omnis. Modifications are strictly regulated. Appearance is important, however, the goal of a perfect car is more difficult because of the stock steel bodies . For the RoadRunner division, stock production is the key requirement. The cars are required to have a completely stock chassis, bodies with mandatory roll cages, safety fuel tanks and made for racing wheels with street legal radial tires.
Simple rules make it easy for everyone to experience the thrills of auto racing.
Stock dealer showroom floor is the basic rule. The rules for the WWOW division are identical to the RoadRunners. Although some believe the wing helps prevent spin-outs, it's purpose is appearance only. You might see any type of car from Late Models to modified open wheelers to RoadRunners with only safety modifications, such as plated driver's doors. Even the car horn, radio and third brake light must be operable.
