He won at my local dirt track Lernerville last Friday in his very first race. A big block Chevy power plant I gave home a few tips on porting the stock heads on it and the manifold. Kinda looks like some fun.

My buddies and I used to hang out there a lot. Lots of fun at that track.

Probably 3 miles as the bird flies and 5 miles driving and I haven’t been there in years. I keep saying I’m going but I keep lying to myself. Several of my friends race there.
 
My brother owns a nursery/ tree farm 2-3 miles from there. If you ever need any tree work or plants, stop in and tell him we are friends. He's on Hepler Rd.

Ok curiosity killed the cat so I messaged Kenny and asked him. This was his answer.

Tow them, or put it on a low boy trailer. They don't weigh much

Thanks, PBR. Like a crook in one of the Eastwood movies said, “I gots to know”.
Light, yes. But they is big! Pays to have a friend with a big trailer.
Racing stuff like that tends to be more fun than racing “real” stuff.
Years ago, I had a stock Mustang II street car with a four-cylinder and a four-speed. It was slow as hell, but when you shifted without liftin, it was a blast! The passenger would chirp the tires on the shift with the handbrake.
I’ve heard school districts sell old buses dirt cheap.

He’s talking about getting a set of Chevy ProMax heads and jumping to modified class. Lol. He’s hooked.
 
That is really cool, I bet the kids loved it.
 
That looks like a blast! I always wanted to buy a bus to make a camper out of it. Now i want to buy two! lol
 
You know, I've never been much for dirt track racing, but this? This I would pay good money to go watch!!!
