So, you wanna know more about the cars that race here? Well you've come to the right page. Whether you want to know about Thursday Night Nitro, the Sunday Dirt Track excitement, or even our OffRoad Racing shows, this is the place to find out. For historical purposes (lol) we've included the dates each class was introduced.

Pure Stocks

Introduced: 2007 season  (Spring, along with Dirtfield Raceway)

Track: Dirtfield Raceway (Oval/Figure8)
Price: 150L (Normal)
         300L (recolorable + renumberable)
        400L (attachment)
Custom: 1150L
Bodystyles:
Normal, and S.E.A (Special edition attachment) Both are identical in speed/handling.

In real life , pure stocks are older 60's 70's and 80's V8 rear wheel drive cars, retrofitted with safety equipment such as rollcages and fuel cells. Very limited suspenion mods are allowed, as well as very minor engine adjustments.

In second life pure stocks are two gear , big, fast cars that run on both the dirt oval and the figure 8. This being the only class that runs on both layouts has attracted lots of drivers to it. Their races in the '09 season will pay out 500L$ to the winners during Sunday Shows.

The pure stocks have been a mainstay in the DWRL for a very, very long time, and were cemented in the position as most popular class during the '07 '08 and '09 seasons in which they had a race night devoted entirely to them. Currently, they run every other Sunday at Dirtfield Raceway.

Track: Dirtfield Raceway
Price:

800L  prepainted
900L (recolorable + renumberable)

From the 310 sprints that run at the same track every week, to the world of outlaws. Sprint cars are known and beloved all around the country. With too many famous events to count, and alumni such as Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, and Tony Stewart. Many Nextel Cup drivers like the sprint cars they once raced so much that they sometimes moonlight in Sprint Car races.



A sprint car waits to take to the track in the staging area at Dirtfield Raceway.

On second life, Sprint Cars are the fastest dedicated show on dirt. Many times these cars will get tangled up and crash spectacularly, causing some very 'exciting' racing. If you think you can handle this kind of intense speed , racing, and crashing, pick one up. These cars run every other week!



T.R.Outlaw Open Figure 8 cars

(TROO)

Introduced : 2007 Season

TRACKS: Dirtfield Raceway Figure 8
Price: 2000L
Bodies: Build your own! :D


In real life, there are many, many kinds of figure 8 racing. The ones that we'll be talking about here, are the 'outlaw' figure 8 divisions that run locally in Southern California, Indiana, and Washington State. The 'outlaw' figure 8 division has almost no rules restricting how a car's body is built, and the engine rules are 'sketchy' at best. Even though these vehicles will very likely be crashed (hard) teams often plunk down as much money as they would on a Late Model or Modified. This results in VERY high , uncontrollable speeds. At some tracks pretty much any division of race car is allowed to tag in. Total carnage.



In Second life , the division is open to not only the dedicated cars, but 6-banger 8s, Purestocks, Street tocks, Dirt Modifieds , Demo Derby cars and Pro Trucks are all invited to join the fray! The races can get pretty wild and hectic, with a lot of cars torn up by the end of the night. With bodystyles just as wild and varied as in real life, these cars are the most unique cars you'll find in DWRL. (Especially since every car bought is able to be built by the builder. Imaginations run wild in this class!)

Super Late Models

Introduced 2007 season (Spring, along with Dirtfield Raceway as "Dirt Late Models" reinstated Spring 2009 as "Super Late Models")

TRACK: Dirtfield Raceway
Price:
prepainted 650L
(recolorable + renumberable) 750L
Custom: 1750L
Bodystyles:

M&R Chassis Rocket Can
M&R Chassis Rocket Can (convertible)

In real life Dirt Late Models (and in some places Super Late Models, as they're called here) are a staple of dirt track racing all over the United States and Canada, as well as in small pockets of New Zealand and Australia. While there are several different chassis and engine builders , as well as many different series and sanctioning bodies, the cars outwardly appear mostly the same anywhere you find them, and are always competitive and fun to watch.

In Second Life, the Super Late Model series is just getting it's feet back on the ground as the Autumn '09 season roars into action. With the cars just being re-introduced, a lot of drivers will be looking to make their mark on this series, which is highlighted by it's low laptimes, and a driving style that rewards patience and experience.

Dirt Modifieds

Introduced 2007 season  (Summer, added to '07 schedule)

TRACK: Dirtfield Raceway
Price: Prepainted 500L
Repaintable: 750L
Custom: 1500L
Bodystyles:

M&R Chassis YellowJacket "IMCA" Style
M&R Chassis Super Hornet "Big Block" Style
M&R Chassis Vintage (based off 1935 Chevy)

In real life dirt modifieds run at tracks all over the US under sanctioning bodies like IMCA, ASA, DiRT, and NASCAR. Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of horsepower numbers. One thing they all have in common is the front engine, rear drive v8 setup. While in real life you'd never see a North Eastern Big Block Modified running against an IMCA Modified (the big block would stomp the sh*t out of the IMCA :P) in second life, anything is possible...

A dirt modified makes qualifying laps at the Dirtfield Raceway

On second life, these cars will be running once weekly and when driven right can actually be some of the easiest cars to drive on the dirt dates. With their races only totaling 30 laps per event, and being once a week things are going to be short, sweet , and psychotic for these cars. This is one dirt class you don't want to skimp out on.

Price:
100L (prepainted)

In real life, Street Stocks (or Super Stocks, Bombers, Chargers, etc) are modded street cars from the 60's 70's and 80's. The mods can include race suspension parts, more aerodynamic noses, better engines, adjustable spoilers, and more. While not exactly stock, in most cases these cars are recognizable as street cars.

Street Stocks roar into turn 1 in their first race of the 2009 autumn season. Caz Freschi (44) and Vickster Kuhn (09) lap around slower vehicles.

This 'entry level' Thursday Night has several  nifty features to get you interested. For one thing, due to customization options offered, the street stocks can have all sorts of different noses, roofs, spoilers and other fun things, to make each street stock unique. While the pre paints will all look somewhat stock, custom painted ones can have all sorts of fun mods. Be sure to inquire about them.

Pro Trucks

Introduced 2006 season (Autumn, nonpoints)

TRACKS: Fairgrounds Speedway (Inner/Outer)
Price: 400L
         600L (recolorable + renumberable)
Custom: 1400L
Bodystyles 3:  Crew Cab, Regular Cab, Thor Engineering classic

Race Laps: 30

In real life, there are several truck series, from the Southwest Tour Trucks, all the way up to the Craftsman trucks. The trucks we're focusing on here will be the Super Trucks series, which runs at short tracks in Southern California. They're closely related to the ASA speed trucks, which other areas of the country may also be familiar with. These are purpose built race trucks, that never drove down a street or rolled down an assembly line. Every part of them is manufactured for speed. Interesting to note is that the radiator rests in the beds of these bad boys.


Pro Trucks line up for the start of the 2009 Autumn Season Opener at Fairgrounds Speedway. Dale Gears (31) and Gage Pastorelli (33) share the front row, in a field that includes Pro Drivers Bren Blackheart (1) Hoss Republic (68) Vickster Kuhn (09) and Ryde Thor (7)

In second life, the Pro Trucks are a really close spec truck division. These trucks will be running 30 lap events bi-weekly as a support class for the Sportsman Late Models putting on wild shows! They are a definate step up from the street stocks in terms of speed. Many pro drivers compete in this series still.

B-modified Series

TRACKS: Fairgrounds Speedway (Outer)
Price: 350L
         500L (recolorable + renumberable)
Custom: 1350L

Race Laps: 30

In real life, modified racing began in the 1930's with heavily modified production cars with fenders removed battling wheel to wheel on dirt tracks throughout the eastern seaboard. As the years went by, the cars evolved, as did the area where they raced. By the mid-1960's modifieds were at the top of their game. Today, modifieds can still be found in all shapes and sizes all across the nation, and similar cars have cropped up overseas. Although they're a far cry from the modifieds of the days of yore, these beasts show that in racing, evolution can breed some serious automobiles.

B-modified action during race #1 of the 2009 Autumn Season. Caz Freschi (44) makes a pass on the outside around another driver en route to a 3rd place finish.The event was won by Gil Warwillow (13, not pictured)

In Second Life, the B-Modified series is the most unique type of car running on the outer track at Fairgrounds Speedway. They're a bit twitchy and zippy compared to the trucks and street stocks , but prove to be a good stepping stone for drivers wanting to get into LMS competition. The cars are relatively cheap, and incredibly competitive and racey. A few laps of practice can pay off bigtime in these cars. 

(Pavement) Late Model Sportsman

In real life 'late models' are probably one of the closest things you'd see to a big-ticket car at your local track. They range from racing vehicles that use a street vehicle's frame, with leaf-springs 3 or 400 horsepower, and full racing trim (including the aerodynamic bodies modeled after late-model American sedans, racing engines , safety equipment, and 10 - 12 inch tires) to ''Outlaw Late Models", vehicles with full tube frame chassis, a 5 or 600 horsepower engine, and a wedge shaped body.

The 'LMS' (Late Model Sportsman) cars prepare for their second race of the season. Last Season's Champion Gage Pastorelli (33) starts 3rd in a field that includes Pro Drivers Caz Freschi (44) and Bren Blackheart (1)

In second life, you should be prepared for what happens when you press that pedal to the floor. The cars can float through the corner like a dream if you know what you're doing. Using the brakes properly in this class can be very rewarding, with low laptimes.When in a racing situation, these cars can run side by side easily as long as one drives respectfully. This promises good shows for the fans, and competitive racing for the drivers.This class runs every Thursday night on pavement!

DWRL Cup Series

Introduced 2009 (Non points. Built 2006-2009)
Everyone knows the Nascar Sprint Cup series. I often get asked if we carry "Nascars" and direct people to the sportsman late model series, however new in 2009 is the DWRL Cup series will get rid of that problem.



Their first test season has gone over pretty well with oval and roadcourse dates run. These cars will be appearing in the rest of the 2009 seasons as well!





ORC (OffRoad Championship)

 
ORC vehicles compete on one of the varied Offroad Layouts prepared for them for their races on Tuesdays at 5 PM SLT.  Toby Rainbow (58) makes a pass on another driver.
