Thank you for choosing to be part of

the Sixth Annual Winter Showdown

NEXT GEN BODY 2021:

The NEXT GEN BODY will be approved for competition starting in 2021.  After a year of on-track testing and competition, assurance that price controls will be in place as long as the body is on the market, and the opportunity for two manufactures of the same body configuration – led the SRL to support this decision.  The SRL is one of five series that make up the national governing committee for the bodies used in competition.  We have worked very hard over the past seven years to try to maintain that Super Late Models throughout the nation compete under a similar rules package, and we strive to continue that continuity into the future.
