Has anyone given any thought to what it would take to run these cars at other tracks? Is this doable or would they even be competitive?

Yes. Definitley. We did it years ago When Clearfield closed.

They would work great at PPMS and they run them at Roaring knob .. Lernerville is a no because they dont run that track ..

Well I think the big thing would be a complete change in suspension. You would have to obviously change springs, shocks, and essentially completely change the setup. The only thing I could see being a critical issue is the longer wheel base cars such as the mid 70's monte carlo's. I would think you would have to be at the 108" wheelbase like the other dirt street stocks and sportsman cars.

There was a couple motordrome chargers at ppms at the end of the season last year. The 15 that won was pretty impressive...

Overall there is very little to change-suspension is the easy part. Probably more to change if u wanted to run at another asphalt track as rules on asphalt are all over the place. Chargers at ppms is the easiest fit. Someone brought up running at midvale as an alternative. They had a booth set up at swap meet. The guy who was running it was not helpful- freindly- and didn't seem at all interested in talking to me abt Coming there. Horrible representative of the track. None of this much matters because all indications are that motordrome is opening and some changes will be made-for the better?-we will see.
