The Strickland's Crate Sprint Cars Series is for open-wheel tube-frame dirt vehicles.
These Sprint Cars are powered by spec engines.
Teams must use one of two GM Circle Track Crate Engines: part #88869602 or part #19258602.
The motors have a Holley carburetor fitted on a 350-cu.in. V8 engine, which produces 350 horsepower @ 5,400 rpm.
Power from the engine is transferred through an in-or-out gearbox.
As a result, the cars are not equipped with a starter motor and require a push to start.
The chassis rules are simple. They must be a four-post design and cannot use chassis or suspension cockpit adjustable devices. Brakes are limited to steel or aluminum rotors. Spec Hoosier Tires are mounted on eighteen-inch-wide wheels on the right and left rear; wheels must not exceed fifteen inches. After a race, this competitive package must weigh at least 1,600 pounds (with the driver and no fuel). The Strickland's Crate Sprint Cars Series schedule consists of eighteen events at Ohsweken Speedway. The season starts in May and ends in mid-September.
The fourteenth round of the Strickland's Crate Sprint Cars Series was held during the Ontario Agra and Charles Jones Industrial event. Drivers competed in a twenty-lap A-Main around Ohsweken Speedway's 3/8 mile clay oval.
