New IROC Sets To Support SR3

The SR2 TFX “Box Stock” set is getting expanded for SR3.

It wasn’t long after I decided on a new 6-lane track that I realized I not only had to spend a lot of money on the track but I also had to update my fleet of IROC cars to go with it–Cha-Ching!

Yea, I could stick with the 4-lane fleets I have but that’s no fun.  So I’m slowly adding to the house fleets for SR3 while begging Georgie and Kevin to build or bring their 6-lane IROC sets over for us to play with.

The above photo shows the existing SR2 TFX IROC set, which most of us have raced many times. The two cars in the middle are new additions to support SR3’s two extra lanes. Georgie is currently detailing a late-model Camaro body in green and may also detail the orange late-model Camaro shown above. We’ll then have a nice six-car set of box-stock TFX cars to IROC race with on SR3. These cars have the stock Gray Dragon motor magnets and are much looser than the TFX “Lite” class we currently race regularly with.

I’m also adding to my fleet of Jag Hobbies TR-3’s. These cars are pretty cool and showcase the Jag Hobbies Augoran short-wheelbase hardbody, which is a very cool body. The pics here are the orange and green lane cars needed for a complete SR3 set. The cars are basically stock but have Jag double-flange rear hubs and independent front ends.

We’re not likely to race these cars in Round 1 of the coming NASCAR MADness Series but we’ll run them at some point during the series, for sure.

Okay, shut up and drive!
