We might still be a little bit early in looking towards winter, but for racing venues across the country, the time is now. Do you close up shop and say “Happy Holidays, see you in March!” or do you find a way to stay open and keep things entertaining throughout the cold, rain and snow? In the case of NCM Motorsports Park, the racing track across the Interstate from the Corvette plant and the home road course track of BangShift Mid-West, word has come down that they will be holding a cheap-car championship!
Announcing the Winter Program at NCM Motorsports Park!
King of the Heap
King of the Heap is a multi-discipline team-based race program for “Heap” $1000 cars.
KOTH will consist of:
Auto – X
Rally – X (TBD)
Track portion
1/8th Mile Drag time
Points:
Points will be awarded for each segment of the event, with the most total points winning the event overall. Event finishing position will be awarded points for the Championship.
Each car will have 4 drivers – No driver can have their fast time be applied to more than one discipline per event, at the team’s discretion. So all-4 drivers must put a time in for each event, and each driver must represent the fast time for no more than one of the four disciplines.
Rules:
Vehicles should be valued at $1000 – with a $1500 claimer!
Vehicles must have all body panels
Vehicles must be 2wd
Vehicles must have a windshield, oem or ¼” + Lexan

Vehicles must not leak fluids excessively, stewards discretion

Events will be run rain, shine, or snow.
Claimer:
Claims will be submitted at the end of each event.
If a claim is tendered, the car MUST change hands.
A claim will represent a trade of vehicles – and $500 in cash – $250 to the team of the claimed car, $250 to the series pot.
A vehicle can only be claimed once per event.
Rain, shine or snow, you say? This could be a lot of fun. So much so that I’m already hunting Craigslist for potential beaters and trying to scare up a local team. Vehicles like this 1983 Trans Am I located are just begging to come out and play.
Why do I want to enter this!?!?!?!?
Looks like fun to me. Found the perfect candidate. 2000 ford contour svt
