BASIC INFORMATION...

The Mini Late Models are scaled down versions of DIRT© Late Models powered by 600cc 4-stroke motorcycle engines.  Not to be confused with the TQ 3/4 Late models, the Series was created and modeled after the Northern micro modified racing series. This is a spec division that promotes affordable wheel to wheel racing, where the outcome isn’t based on financials. Sharp Engineering, LLC is working in collaboration with Hyper Racing, a leader in the Micro Sprint industry that supplies parts and services to racers across the country. Sharp Engineering, LLC  supports, distributes, and fabricates the Sharp Engineering Chassis. Dealer opportunities exist. 

 

WHAT RACING SHOULD BE…

We all want the race to be in the driver’s hands instead of the owner's pocketbook.  The platform and the strict technical rules makes the Mini Late Model one of the most competitive and affordable racing divisions in the country.  The cars weigh 900lbs. (with driver) and feature 110hp engines.  Shock rules and no prep hard compound tires assist in keeping operational cost to a minimum. Tires will last a season, engines are bullet proof and factory designed for the abuse. The combination of a stock sealed engine and engine impound rules eliminate the lure to buy horsepower.  Operational cost as low as fuel only!

​

THE MINI LATE MODEL….

The Mini Late Models are designed based upon technology used in 600cc micro-sprint cars.  Working closely with Hyper Racing the cars were designed around components already in production eliminating the worry of finding replacement parts.  Like the micro-sprints, the 600 Mods are chain driven using the same side gear/sprocket idea, along with splined rear axles, tubular front axle, coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, and 10" wheels.  The Mini Late Models sport an aluminum body crafted after the Southeast Crate and World of Outlaw DIRT Late Models.
