Rather than buy a chassis like the ones others have, Austin Kirkpatrick has chosen to build his own cars.

Awesome stuff. Not a school trained engineer but neither was Smokey Yunick. Does Austin work in NASCAR? Lives in Charlotte I see.

No, he does not nore NASA as someone said in the other thread

To build his own is impressive in today’s world. He also is honest about his chassis and driving style being more suitable at certain race tracks. Could he be the next Mark Richards?

Had another good run at Smokey Mountain this past weekend with the SAS races. It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't buy into the cookie cutter path that is the system these days and I wish the young man much success.

I will just say he is my favorite dirt late model driver to watch and follow now 👍. I need the T Shirt 👍

Looking at race monitor from Charlotte test today...
Kyle Larson 14.133
Austin Kirkpatrick 14.153

(Track record is 14.3). Would be awesome to see these 2 square off at the world finals

Thanks for the times 👍 American creativity and effort at work👍
