Attention Pro Trucks: Save the Date 3/29 & Chassis Alternative
Our series sponsor is contributing to the purse for the 2014 Southern Pro Am Truck Series season operner points race at Bronson Speedway. $1,000 to win! Test and tune on Friday 3/28 and race is Saturday 3/29.
GREAT NEWS! We are pleased to announce the plans for a chassis alternative that will make it easier for new teams to build trucks without the donor chassis scavenger hunt. The new tubular frame is a direct replacement for the metric chassis and will allow teams to repair crashed trucks faster and for a lower cost. The series technical inspector, Tommy King said “This chassis is pound for pound the same thing that is currently being raced, and it’s long overdue.”
The chassis specs will be provided by Andy Johnson of Johnson Chassis, Inc. located in Kannapolis, NC. In the coming weeks the specs will be added to the Southern Pro Am Truck Series rules for local builders to access. The clips and replacement frames are already available. “The objective is to build a replacement for the GM Metric frame, not an improvement,” said Andy Johnson. Full bare frames retail for $1695 and clips are $695.
The XYG inspection grid will be in use to ensure that the tubular replacement pickup points are “Stock”. The grid is a go/no go gauge for all the suspension pick up points.
In addition to the chassis alternative, an alternative aftermarket lower control arm and rear trailing arms will soon be announced.
