SpeedSTR
The USAC SpeedSTR -- a self-starting Midget-Modified-Sprint Car hybrid with a four-cylinder Mopar motor -- first hit the track in 2008, with top drivers like Ray Evernham, Billy Pauch, Kenny Brightbill, Rick Eckert, Brian Montieth, and Frank Cozze among the field.
​
As the headline division at the ActionTrack USA in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, the USAC SpeedSTRs thrill the crowd every weekend.
​
A race car within the reach of the weekend warrior -- easy to maintain, safe for the competitor, with a rules package that ensured a level playing field putting the show back in the hands of the driver.
​
The USAC SpeedSTR is a more cost-effective way for drivers to race with a bigger, faster car.
​
If we figure in the cost of fatigue on parts, and include accidents which cause broken parts, the SpeedSTR will show greater value retention then the other comparable cars on the list.
​
Investment: Most race cars and parts lose value of about 50 to 60%. This means your $25,000 car will be worth a mere $10K-$12,000 by the end of only one race season. All-Spec. Division race cars, like the SpeedSTR only lose 20-30% of their value. This means your $17,000 car will still be worth $12,500 by the end of a full racing season.
