I should mention my son will be a rookie in a dirt B-mod this year… at 42 years old. he has always wanted to race but has been an OTR trucker for most of the last 20 years. now he's running local so he has the time.
He bought an '02 J-car (built in Fargo) from a friend of his who had purchased it new. Never been bent. It started life as an A-mod but the PO didn't want to spend the $$$ needed to keep running that style car so it was converted to a three link to run in the WISSOTA sanction.
The past two years it has been a top ten car in points without much in updates. Same motor just refreshed every year. We built a 355 for it on a pretty strict $3500.00 budget and made it happen.
I wanted my son to start out in street stocks… I have one in stock. But he wanted to run a mod so that's been settled. We are going to run two small town local tracks that draw anywhere from 8-14 cars per week. That will give him some experience early then he can decide if he wants to run a few late season shows with better competition.
Should be fun...
