The crew is getting ready to warm the motor at Double X Speedway in California, MO in 2005. Sprint cars run on
alcohol and the motor must be warmed up to achieve
peak performance.
Tony and the 9c turning laps on the tight ¼ mile
track at Double X Speedway in California, MO. On a typical night, 20 to 25
gallons of fuel will be used.
The Eagle Chassis frame for the 2006 car before it
entered the paint booth at Paint-Ko (Larry McCown – owner/operator). It gives you a good view of the driver’s compartment.
This shot of the frame for the 2006 car shows the
down tubes on the roll cage viewed from the front of the
car.
All of the triangular geometry in the frame
construction can be seen here. This adds the strength
that is necessary for the rigors that the car must
endure on the track.
Another shot of the frame showing the triangular
geometry. This one was taken right before it was
painted by Larry McCown at Paint-Ko in Sedalia, MO.
The bottom side of the frame shows that there isn’t much there. This makes the car lighter and faster on the
track.
The left rear tire is smaller than the one that is used on
the right. This is called ‘stagger’ and helps the car
and driver negotiate through the turns. Stagger varies from track to track.
A shot of the 9c from 2005. This was the first year that Tony carried the ACCKC logo on the 9c and took it
dirt trackin’.
