What is Spedeworth V8 Stock Car Racing?

the cars,
A Spedeworth V8 Stock Car is a 1000kg single seater race car that is generally powered by a small block Chevrolet V8 engine. The cars are built to a strict specification and run on 13" wheels. They are a nice size to work on and are not difficult to transport around. You can buy a competitive car for approximately £3-4k - the top cars obviously cost more. They are fairly low cost to maintain with engines lasting for many seasons without major rebuilds, although there is always the possibility that you're the unlucky one, as in all motorsport.

the racing,
Cars line up in graded order, with the quickest starting at the rear of the grid. Grades are determined by way of a points system that awards points to the first eight over the line. Periodically, the points are totalled and drivers are graded accordingly. Approximately 20 cars race at any one time in a multiple lap challenge where the sole aim is to be first across the line.  Drivers are able to forcibly remove other cars from the racing line by skilful use of the front bumper.
