NCRA SPRINT CAR SPECIFICATIONS  2007

 1.      BODIES: 

Cars must resemble a sprint car.  Complete hood, fuel tank, etc.  No non-wing cars.  Maximum 25 square foot top wing.   2 x 3 foot nose wing OK.

No turn-outs or any other air foils allowed.  Right side window opening must be 21” horizontally and 12” vertically and with no other opening less than 10”.

 2. CHASSIS:

Any sprint chassis is allowed, but it must pass any test prescribed by the safety inspectors.  The roll cage must be of a four-post design.  No dirt champ cars.  No elliptical (oval shaped) tubing used on or as part of the main frame structure.  Minimum wheel-base of 83”, maximum wheel-base of 90”.  No offset motors will be allowed.  Engine must be directly in front of driver.  Driver must straddle drive-line.  No roadster type chassis allowed.  Only Sprint appearing type bodies, tails and hood will be allowed.

 3. DRIVELINES:

All drivelines must be broken in the coupler or rear slider.  Torque arm drivelines may not be used.  All drivelines must be enclosed and contain no more than one U-joint and that one must be at the front of the driveline. 

4. SUSPENSION:

All suspension systems must be mechanical with no form of electrical assistance.  No independent rear suspensions.  Front axles must be steel only.

 5. WHEEL BASE:

The minimum wheel base shall be 83” measured from the center of the front hub to the center of the rear hub on the shortest side measured.  Maximum wheel base shall be 90”.

 6. TOP WING:

A.    Center Foil maximum size of 25 square feet with a maximum width of 60 inches.

B.     Center Foil shall be fully sheathed in aluminum.  Vent holes are strictly prohibited.

C.     No wicker bills or Gurney lips permitted on Center Foil.

D.    Other than the slider mechanism, no moving parts allowed on or in foil structure.

E.     The 12 inch section located at the rear of the Center Foil must not have the belly/curl arc out of proportion with the rest of the Center Foil.  The belly/curl arc must span the entire length of the Center Foil and appear to be a gradual arc with the deepest point no further back than 48 inches from the leading edge.  As measured on a 12 inch straight edge, the belly at 6 inches from the rear of the Foil may not be deeper than 1/2 inch.  There is zero tolerance on this 1/2 inch depth.  It is suggested that the wing blue print specify 15/32 inch depth, so that if any deflection or movement of the wing occurs, the depth will not exceed the 1/2 inch specification.  (This 1/2 inch measurement ensures that the belly/curl arc is gradual.)

F.      The belly/curl arc must start at the radius of the Center Foil’s leading edge and shall not exceed a depth of 2 1/2 inches.  Center Foil thickness cannot exceed 9 inches.  Center Foil top surface from side to side must remain flat.  Center Foil must be one-piece construction.  No split or bi-wings will be permitted.  Wings must be fabricated of metal alloys only.  No fiberglass, carbon fiber or other similar material may be used in the basic framework of  the wings.  Top wing must not extend beyond outside of rear tires.

G.  Two stationary foils or rudders will be allowed to run the entire length of the underneath portion of the top wing.  Maximum height proportions are 1 inch at the front and 3 inches at the rear.  Nowhere shall the foil exceed 3 inches in height.  The top wing can be cockpit/driver adjustable.

 FRONT WING: 

A.    Center Foil maximum size of 6 square feet with a maximum width of 36 inches.

B.     Center Foil shall be fully sheathed in aluminum.  No vent holes allowed.

C.     No wicker bills or Gurney lips permitted on Center Foil.

D.    Maximum distance from the Center Foil front edge to the front edge of the front axle may not exceed 20 inches.

E.     The Center Foil edge must remain at least 1 inch behind the front edge of the front bumper.  Center Foil top surface from side to side must remain flat.

F.      Center Foil must be one piece.  No split or bi-wings will be allowed.

G.    Wings must be fabricated of metal alloys only.  No fiberglass, carbon fiber or other similar material may be used in the basic framework of the wing

H.    The Front Wing must not extend beyond outside of front tires.  The Front Wing may not be cockpit or driver adjustable while the car is stationary or in motion.

I.        No moving parts allowed on or in foil structure.

J.       The 5” section located at the rear of the front foil must not have a bell/curl arc that is out of proportion with the rest of the front foil.  As measured on a 5-inch straight edge, the belly at 1 1/2 inches from the rear of the foil may not be deeper than 3/8 inch.  There is zero tolerance on this 3/8 inch depth.  It is suggested that the wing blue print specify 11/32 inch depth, so that if any deflection or movement of the wing occurs, the depth will not exceed the 3/8 inch specification.  (This 3/8 inch measurement ensures that the belly/curl arc is gradual).

K.    The belly/curl arc must span the entire length of the front foil and appear to be a gradual arc with the deepest point not further back than 12 inches from the leading edge.  The bell/curl arc must start at the front foil’s leading edge and shall not exceed a depth of 2 inches.  Top foil thickness cannot exceed 3.6 inches.

L.      No rudders or fins on Front Wing.

 SIDE BOARD PANELS

A.    Side panels may not be supported by braces whose section is not horizontal.  All braces or supports shall be oriented thin edge to face the air stream.  Only rectangular, round or oval metal braces not exceeding 1 inch in width may be used.

B.     No aero section side panel brace material allowed.

C.     No brace or support shall resemble a wicker bill or a split wing.

FRONT:

D.    Front side boards maximum 12 inches tall and 26 inches long with no more than one inch overhang from the center foil front edge to the side board front edge.

E.     Side boards may have front, back, top and bottom turnouts of no more than 1/2 inch.

TOP

F.      Top side boards maximum size 72 inches long and 30 inches tall.

G.    Panels must be of one-piece construction.

H.    Panels must be fabricated flat so as to have no turnouts or flaps made of more than 2 inches of material on the front or rear of panel and no more than 1 1/4 inches on the top or bottom.
