Crown Vic racing at Cordele

Only the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car, 1995 and newer. The rules are built around one idea: keep the cars stock. If a change is not listed in the rules, it is not allowed.

• Engine: entirely stock 4.6L SOHC, 65mm maximum throttle body, stock manifold and air filter. Aftermarket coils are allowed.
• Drivetrain: stock transmission; stock rear end with a factory gear between 2.73 and 3.73.
• Tires and wheels: 235/55/17, 225/60/16 or 215/70/15 only, 330 treadwear or higher, under $160 a tire, on stock steel wheels.
• Driver safety: Snell SA2015 or SFI 31.2 helmet, fire suit, racing shoes and gloves, a racing seat, a 5-point harness and a window net.
• Cage: up to a 4-point cage welded to the frame, with four curved door bars on the driver’s side.
• In the car: no radios, phones or other communication devices.
