By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) In an effort to try and contain and control the cost of racing and keep the competition equal and fair to all participants in the 305 sprint and dirt truck divisions, Fremont Speedway and Attica Raceway Park have teamed up to implement a few rule changes for the 2008 season, so if you need to adhere to these new rule changes, you may want to have a look at used cars such as this ford centurion for sale as well as many other vehicles, to use for either driving or as spare car parts for modification. Those who are interested in getting a new or used trucks will try their best to do as much as research as they can to find the perfect truck for them no matter what the use, if you’re looking for a used truck in Wichita, KS or somewhere more local, you might want to visit a dealership similar to a Conklin dealership to find what you need.
The rules for the 410 sprints at both Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway for 2008 will follow those established by the O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions and World of Outlaws. Farmer said the only major difference is a one-inch wicker bill will be allowed on the top wings.
