Super Cups 1/2 Scale Race Cars
A Super Cup is the same as a NASCAR but exactly 1/2 the size. The cars come complete with a full tube chassis, rack & pinion steering, upper & lower control arms and fully adjustable coil over shocks both front and rear. This is a stock car! The full cage and a five point safety harness is what makes these cars one of the safest forms of racing available.
Super Cups are nation wide and you can almost always find them racing at a track in your local area. Super Cups are a great stepping stone for kids looking to move up from karts into a suspended car. Even with some karts achieving faster speeds then a Super Cup a Cup car offers competitive side by side racing with a fully
enclosed car for safety. Super Cups come with all the same bodies that Nascar uses and with having bodies with full paint schemes on the cars it tends to keep drivers from beating & banging on each other on race day. The cars can achieve speeds of over 100 mph but usually the tracks raced are 1/4 to 3/8th mile tracks and the Super Cup will be racing between 60 - 80 MPH. The focus of these cars is not speed but competitiveness. Strict guide lines keep every car with the same equipment which in return offers some of the best competition out of any class of car raced.
Along with great compition a Super Cup offers affordability! Used cars can be bought between $4000 to $6500 depending on what you want. Some less inexpensive cars will get you on the track but usually you will find your self updating older and worn parts more quickly. New cars cost about $8500 to $9500 ready to race minus a paint job. There are several manufacturers of new cars. Home built cars are not allowed for safety reasons. Avenger, Bullet and NC Chassis are the current manufacturers in the United States. Engines have been known to last two seasons with out being refreshned and tires will almost always last you an entire season. 1 and 1/2 gallons of gas is all you will use on race day. Some drivers do not even require a trailer. A Super Cup can fit in the back of a pickup with a full size bed.
