In the 1960's the Allied Auto Racing Association of St. Louis, MO started a new class they called Limited Sportsman. At the time they ran Friday nights at the Belle-Clair Speedway at the St. Clair County Fairgrounds in Belleville, IL and Sunday nights at the St.Charles Speewday in St. Charles, MO.


The kit I used:

The prototype is Bob Tyson's car, pictured at Belle-Clair in 1970:

Very cool build!!!!
Reminds me of the cars I saw back in the 60's and early 70's at Weissglass Speedway in Staten Island, N.Y.

That's a very different looking racer. You got it right. Nice job.

I attended some races and even raced my mini once at Belle-Clair in the mid-70s. I always thought those stocks looked super neat with the front ends off of them. Lots of external bracing too. You really captured that look with this model. Nice work!

Great Build I love the pavement and dirt stock cars from 1955 to 1972 and this is a fine example..
I would like to make this offer to everyone if you have a short track stock car you want to do but no decals for it. Let me know we can work together to come up with a decal to do the car all of these will go to my website for sale and most I would like to build myself.. I am not saying I will do everyone it depends how many and what type of car you want.. But I will look at everyone and make a decision........let me know....oh your cost will be -0- free no charge...Now I am not going keep this offer open forever so know that up front.....
