Lee USA Speedway announces the addition of the 4 Cylinder Ironman division to the 2014 season. This division will participating in the Division V level for the NASCAR Whelen All American Racing Series. The sister division to the new division is the V6 Ironman series. The V6 Ironman series will continue as the Division IV representative from Lee USA.
The rules package for the new division is very similar to the V6 Ironman. The speedway tech department has worked to identify a set of rules that can allow the 4 cylinders to have a division within the NASCAR sanctioned events in the State of New Hampshire and possible recognition at the national level if found to be in the top 100 from the division across the United States.
One of the deviations from the V6 Ironman rule book is the inclusion (in a controlled manner) of foreign models, as an example the Honda. As tech has pointed out this is a Pure Stock division met to allow the beginner a place to gain experience at an affordable cost. To quote tech, “we will not allow the special high performance package vehicles”.
This 4 cylinder Ironman Division will compete along with the V6 Ironman Division under the Benson’s Lumber and Hardware Sponsorship umbrella.
The tech department will have the final review of the rules complete and ready to post early next week.
