New Wingless Sprint Division NEWS Can Use Already Sealed Motors
Pan Conversion Legal with Tech Official Present
New Egypt, NJ– The newly formed NEWS wingless sprint division is making an already economical class even more so. Drivers who already have a New Egypt Speedway or Accord Speedway sealed 602 crate engine can convert their pan with a tech official present that will be legal to run in the division.
As the rules for the NEWS division state, a driver can convert the pan of their previously sealed New Egypt or Accord 602 crate motor while a technical representative from either track is present. The motor will be sealed on the spot and will be legal to compete in the NEWS division at either speedway. Drivers also do not have to drill out the cam for the oil pump or steering pump if they have external belt driver pumps they would like to use.
The NEWS division is being created to help budget racers compete in today’s motorsports climate. The fundamentals of the NEWS division are based on building an entire brand new car with all the components for around $15,000. Building a used car for the NEWS division can cost well under $10,000. The NEWS division will also eliminate the use of a quad or push truck as the cars will be self-starting with a transmission and paired with a GM factory stock 602 engine.
Plans for divisions at both New Egypt and Accord Speedways are in the early development stages but will find space on both tracks 2015 season schedules. Those interested in more information on the NEWS division are encouraged to contact either track. New Egypt Speedway can be reached at 609-758-1900 or nesoffice@comcast.net. Accord Speedway can be reached at 845-626-3478 or accordspeedway@yahoo.com.
