► Street Stock Oval Cars Background
When it comes to grass-roots racing, it doesn’t get any more “rooted” than Street Stocks. Although there are (nearly) as many different variations on Street Stock rules as there are quarter- and half-mile race tracks around America, the common thread is the use of an older American street car as the basis of the Street Stock race car.

Depending on the race track and its rules (and your budget), Street Stocks range from little more than a street car with its interior gutted, its windows removed and a rudimentary roll cage to a full-on race car with a highly-tuned engine, upgraded suspension and plastic bodywork conforming to the shape of the original street car. (iRacing’s Street Stock is built to the full-on race car rules).

Regardless of the specific rules, turning a street car into a Street Stock is not only less expensive than buying a purpose-built race car, the process of building a race car from a street car helps wanna-be race drivers and mechanics learn the fundamentals of race car construction, maintenance and setups. And learning is what it’s all about, for Street Stocks is the class to learn the basics of stock car racing.

► iRacing Street Stock Series - Rookie Championship Information
The ideal classroom for oval rookies, this fixed set-up series features the 375 horsepower/3400 pound iRacing Street Stock and "intermediate" speedways. The medium-size speedways are just the place to learn the oval racing ropes: fast enough for aerodynamics to come into play without becoming draft-fests; tight enough for some paint trading without the flag-to-flag bumpin' and grindin' of the bullrings. The Street Stock is plenty fast enough to get your attention, but rugged and forgiving of rookie mistakes.
