For those looking the thrills of rear wheel drive non-contact rod racing at an affordable cost, the Lightning Rods are just the answer.
The Ford Sierra chassis (saloon or hatchback) was the preferred weapon of choice for many years, but the new breed of BMW's are now making their mark on the formula. These 2 Litre machines provide fast and furious action.
Engines and suspension modifications are kept as inexpensive as possible, whilst the large size of the cars leads to non-stop action on the tight confines of 1/4 mile ovals and provides some spectacular racing. 2024 sees the transition of the formula continue with the rules being tweaked to bring in BMW and Lexus models to help modernise the formula.
The World Cup for the class will be staged at Tullyroan Oval in September. |
