The inaugural Steel City Rumble Series is a five-race championship for Super Stocks at Flamboro Speedway.
A race is scheduled for each month:
The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the '60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a 'stepping stone' for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category. Tire rules have been implemented to reduce expenses. Teams are limited to an inventory of four used and four new tires during the season. Also, if a driver hasn't competed in the first two races and enters a single event, they must start last. Round two of the Steel City Rumble Series for Super Stocks was held at Flamboro Speedway on June 21. Drivers competed in a thirty-five-lap contest around the 1/3-mile semi-banked asphalt oval.
