CASTROL RACEWAY ANNOUNCES WISSOTA SANCTIONING FOR NORTHERN THUNDER LATE MODEL OVAL CLASS

April 1, 2015 – (Nisku, AB.) – Castrol Raceway is pleased to announce the facility’s commitment to WISSOTA sanctioning for the Northern Thunder Late Model Oval Class for the 2015 racing season.

WISSOTA Late Models are full bodied race cars, and are the top of the line in terms of speed and technology. The rules package allows for a very sleek body design and wide Hoosier racing tires. Under the hood, most WISSOTA Late Model drivers have roughly 360 cubic inch engines with 500 or more horsepower; those who choose to can also run an engine with up to 410 cubic inches along with a carburetor restrictor plate. The Late Models have generous spoilers coming off the rear deck of the car and you’ll often see them coming off the turns with their left front tire raised in the air. The chassis are highly tunable and very sensitive to adjustments. In the WISSOTA region, many of the Late Model racers burn methanol rather than gasoline. In many regions of the country, Dirt Late Models are the premier division.

As a sanctioned WISSOTA track, licensed late model drivers at Castrol Raceway will be permitted to race at any WISSOTA late model races at any of the WISSOTA tracks they wish. They can also compete for national points and track points. The track will receive a point fund from WISSOTA for the late model drivers with the amount determined by the number of shows ran at the track. The drivers will also be eligible for the $100,000 excess medical coverage at a cost of only $20, they will receive a copy of the weekly ALL The Dirt newspaper as well.

The full WISSOTA 2015 Rule Book can be found on Castrol Raceway’s website CastrolRaceway.com under the ‘OVAL’ tab.
