About the 1RC Late Model
History
Late model dirt oval racing traces its roots to the post-World War II era when stock car racing began to rise in popularity on dirt tracks across the United States. Evolving from modified production cars, late models became purpose-built vehicles designed for high-speed competition on clay and dirt surfaces. By the 1960s and 1970s, these cars featured custom-built chassis and powerful V8 engines, pushing the boundaries of performance and excitement. Over time, late models developed into one of the most competitive and prestigious classes in dirt oval racing, renowned for their sleek, aerodynamic designs and high-speed thrills. Today, late model dirt racing continues to captivate fans worldwide, standing as a cornerstone of grassroots motorsport culture.

I purchased this car from a friend of mine after he ran it once on his kitchen floor and then decided to switch to crawlers. His decision was my opportunity!! I got it and immediately ran it on a small oval I made with some cones in a parking lot. This thing was a blast!He had a clear kit-and painted it a beautiful two tone blue and white scheme-but I got another body and painted it yellow. After a while I converted it to an asphalt late model by buying the body and switching the tires because I cannot run on dirt or carpet.But if you have access to a nice carpet or smooth dirt track, then you will have hours of fun running the Dirt Late Model.Great little kit.
