American Cup Cars are Cup cars from the USA. We race on the UK’s premier 1/4 mile oval tracks. The cars feature a tubular frame chassis, Yamaha FJ 1200 or XJ 1300 (1259cc) motorcycle engine, Winters Quick Change axle, lightweight fibreglass bodies of various styles (inc. Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Ford Taurus, Ford Thunderbird, Dodge Charger etc), a single controlled tyre, two types of shock absorber, and have a minimum gross weight inc. driver of 1500lbs/681kgs.               .

The cars are all largely identical making the racing close with plenty of side by side action and overtaking. Reverse grids are run to make the racing even more exciting with the Championship leader and other top drivers running from the rear of the grid giving everyone that race win opportunity.

We have cars here in the UK at our workshop to test and buy or even hire for a season or meeting: contact us for full details.
