| The Pure Stock division
started in 2001 as the entry level class at Barrie Speedway and was designed to introduce new racers to the sport. For Pure Stocks, the
emphasis was always on fun and safety, while keeping costs and complexity to
a minimum. Over the years, the division has grown immensely in
both the car count and the talent level. In 2007, the division was split with the introduction of the "Charger" class. The Chargers are now
the official entry level class, with the more seasoned and competitive
drivers moving up to the Pure Stock division. New drivers, or drivers who
simply want to get out and have fun, run in the Charger class. Chargers
and Pure Stock race cars are identical. Both divisions are open to any
4-cylinder car, domestic or import. Front or rear wheel drives cars are
allowed, with engines no larger than 2500cc. Rear and mid-engine cars are
not allowed. Roll cages are mandatory. The divisions share a common rule
book. |
