Over the last almost two years that NICO has been helping my son and I wiht our Dirt Track Race car a number of you hav easked for pictures etc.

There are some pictures at our web site:http://www.bigmonkeyracing.com

Please don't dog me too bad. Its my first atemp at a web site.

Darn economy has limited our racing this year but we hope to be back in full force next year.

And once again Thanks to all of NICO for your help and advice

Hatchback FTW. Awesome man, do you drive or your son? Are you limited to the SOHC b/c of the chassis year? I know a few people around here that run 240sx's in stock class's but not DIRT track hahah. Thats great, i would love to see more pictures.

My son Drives.Old rules limited us to the SOHC But the new Rules we could go Dohc but we just did a total engine rrebuild last year. We can run in front with the SOHC and don't need to spend the $ for a DOHC

Huge props to you and your son. This is what grassroots racing is all about. Taking what's available and making the best out of it. Winning's not bad either.

I understand running the SOHC from a budget stand point. Do you think you may need to upgrade to the DOHC in the future to stay competitive? With the new rules does that give a advantage to your competitors as far as engine upgrades? What other cars do you compete against? Drift hahah FTW Dirt Track!!!!!! I'm extremely interested in this, much more unique then a off the wall body kit or some JdM TytE rImS.
