Anthony Macri sprint car

Dirt NASCAR


Background

Sprint car racing is basically a bunch of rednecks strapped to a rocketship on dirt. Its very popular in rural america, and in my small Pennsylvania town is one of the biggest sports. In a 30 minute radius theres at least 3 dirt tracks, the two active ones seem to be very popular on the world of outlaws schedule. There are different classes for both winged and unwinged chassis' as well as different engines. All engines are naturally aspirated V8's that are run on alcohol. The 410 class such as this car are 900hp from an aluminum block based off the chevy small block, but other manufacturers also make V8's for this class. The chassis all together weights in it 1400lbs making it nearly 1:1 power to Wright. These cars are designed to go left and so aero is tuned for the most stability as well as irl cars having different size tires in the rear to have more grip.


Anthony Macri

Anthony Macri is a local legend and races in the world of outlaws series. Here's a bit of this background taken from his website:
Anthony began racing 600cc Micro Sprints at the age of 12. Anthony jumped from 600’s directly into 410 winged sprint car action, where he is entering his 7th season, in 2023.

Anthony has accumulated several wins across both divisions. In 410 competition he has 9 wins in 2020 and 11 wins in 2021 which earned him his first Hoseheads Central PA Points Championship.

In 2022 Anthony was the winningest driver in sprint car racing with 23 wins and earned his second Central PA Points Championship.

Builders note: This build has come together rather quickly, just about a week and a half and honestly, became sort of a passion project and am sooo happy on how its came out. To some Europeans it may not be something you recognize, but to a small town american its such an impressive car and those that race them are legends and take their life in their own hands every lap. Over the post 5 years there have been at least 2 deaths because of accidents and is always a tragedy, but in my opinion, these cars are so fun to watch and the racing is so interesting. I highly recommend to anyone to watch it if they can, you wont be disappointed. As far as sp goes, there really isn't a good place to drive this thing, if we had a dirt oval it'd be better but unfortunately we dont. None the less its a very good model and would work perfectly if we did have a proper dirt track. If you would like to make your own livery I will have here a blank canvas for your to create a livery. Please share with me any livery you may make, I would love to see them! Enjoy!

    @Lee77100 I do know about the staggering of the tires and was in my blueprints but seeing as tho there really is no dirt track to use it on so i left it out for easier playablity. Thanks!

    Amazing job!! But need some stagger in those back tires, outside tire should be about 2/10 or so bigger than the inside, I used to run dirt modifieds and watched hundreds of sprint races. Other than that you nailed brother nice work love it!!!
