RC stock car racing seems to be popular here right now..crazy looking cars..they look like they really take a hammering. The interesting thing is that they use a late model chassis and the crash bars and body attach to and around the chassis..
Heres a couple of racing..not really my thing but what is? the street stocks look cool though..and hows that teams racing?..weird

It looks like NASCAR racing with 4 wheel'd tanks!
Neat,
I've never seen anything like them.
I'm suprised the can move under their own power!

the only question that i have is "why do they call it stock car racing when there is NOTHING stock about them?"

I can't answer that one..all I know is that stock car racing (1/1) started here in the 40's and they used old chev and ford coupes and what have you..they just race around and bash the crap out of each other..here are some pictures of full size cars

They look like the go-karts that you have to be " at least this tall to ride this ride"

Sorry, I didn't mean the size--more of the placement of the nerf and crash bars. These are oval cars correct?, do they run clockwise-or counterclockwise?

Oval clockwise..they often run modifieds on the same tracks..
