AMRA Modifieds |
The AMRA Modified division consistently features the highest car counts of any of the classes week in and week out at RTR. The class is also one of the most competitive classes at RTR with close, exciting racing each week. AMRA Modifieds make between 650-750 horsepower, but run on eight inch tires. The small tires make the class unique in taking out the big engine advantage and put things more into the drivers hand. The class has been sanctioned by AMRA since 2010. |
Bombers |
The Bomber division at Rocky Top Raceway features "racin' the way it ought to be." Bombers are perhaps the purest cars that run at RTR as they are older street cars which have several modifications to make them a race car. The Bombers may not go as fast as the Late Models or AMRA Modifieds, but they feature great, competitive racing. This is a great class for beginners or somebody looking to have fun but not spend a lot of money in doing so. |
Mod Lites |
The Mod Lite division is perhaps the most unique weekly class at Rocky Top Raceway. The cars are smaller scale versions of the Big Block Modifieds run in the northeast and they run on 1000 cc or 1200 cc motorcycle engines. This is one of the most economical classes at RTR as the cars only burn about a gallon and a half of fuel each night and most drivers run the same set of tires the entire season. The Mod Lites are one of the most exciting classes at Rocky Top Raceway. |
