Race Basics


ARENACARS™ are real, one-half-scale stock cars. Every ArenaCar™ must meet the exact same league specifications to ensure that the action on the track is the result of good driving skills, not a mechanical advantage.

Arena Racing cars are:

• One-half the size of Cup cars
• 9 feet long
• 36 inches high (from track to roof)
• Capable of speeds up to 100 mph outdoors
• Approximately 740 lbs. (including racer)
• Fit with custom steering wheels, racing seats and pedals to fit each racer

They are equipped with:

• Cup-style stock car bodies
• 22-horsepower, rear-mounted Honda Engines
• 1.5-gallon fuel cells
• Adjustable upper and lower A-frames
• 5-point harnesses
• Steel roll cages
• Coil-over suspension
• Disc brakes
• Rack-and-pinion steering
• Adjustable rear track bars
• Aluminum racing seats

Other notes:

• Drivers enter and exit through a sunroof-sized opening in the roofs of the ArenaCar™.
• Due to the multiple-heat racing format, drivers do not pit during races.
• Teams are allowed to customize only set-up related items such as: caster/camber, toe-in, tire stagger, track bar adjustments, coil-over springs and shocks, shock rubbers, lead location and bite. These are adjustments to a car's handling, and are done the same way you see professional pit crews do it on TV.
