The V8 StockCar Road Racing Series has created two new classes for the Panoz race cars.

We believe the Panoz GT & GTS cars and racers and the V8 StockCar Road Racing Series will be a great fit. You may know that we have a ten weekend schedule at America's marquis tracks in the south and east racing with SCCA. With 25-30 car fields commonplace, support from the racing community and media (Grassroots Motorsports, WhoWon.com, Karnac, the Race Site and many more), plus new marketing partners such as Racing Junk, Mo's Gold, and Outback we believe we are uniquely positioned to continue growing and become a motorsport force.

We will administer your class points and awards, provide excellent exposure through print,racing web sites, internet radio, you tube, my space etc, while giving the racers the competition and feel of "pro racing" at no charge to your racers. Racers would pay only their normal SCCA fees. There is no V8 StockCar fees!

It should be noted that NASA license holders and others are now eligible to compete at SCCA events.

We believe this will be a win-win for our group and yours with our strong five year history of getting tube frame V8 race cars out of the garage and on the track competing, and the great Panoz name and it's well built GT race cars.

There will be two classes for Panoz racers:

Panoz GT: for the ex school cars

Panoz GTS: for the GTS and ex Panoz GTWS/WC cars (there will be some adjustments to make the two as equal as possible)

as an aside your more heavily modified cars could possibly compete in our V8 GT-1 class.

We would love to hear from those interested and look forward to having a Panoz group at our next event at Road Atlanta July 19 & 20.

Rob, you seem to be the only one interested in this series in the forum. I have checked out the website several times and it does sound interesting. Is this a pro or club racing? Is it sanctioned by SCCA? What is your part in this series, if any? I'd like to see it come north to Mid Ohio, my home track.

Randy, V8 StockCar promotes tube frame racing in the south and east. We run at SCCA events only at this time. V8SC is a "no fee" series, meaning we charge nothing, competitors pay only their SCCA fees. We administer a points championship, promote the races, contact GT-1 GTA and SPO racers to get that thing out the garage and on the track. This is club racing and there are no prize money awards. Some like Hoosier, Goodyear, RacerCar Engineering, Outback, Mo's Gold etc give away product or product certificates. V8SC exists to help keep the tube frame cars racin'. We feel we have been pretty successful with 20-35 car fields at most of our events.
V8SC generates no income, but promoter Lee Arnold spends a good bit to keep this going simply because he loves this type of racing. I help with the PR and have two road race stock cars and compete with my partner Squeak Kennedy. The Panoz thing is brand new and I'm sure it will take a while to get it going, but we will be here.
