Beaumont, TX (06/04/17) by DarinShort.com. Officials from the Golden Triangle Raceway Park (GTRP) are pleased to announce the return of the NCRA Sprint Car Bandits (SCB) series, set for Saturday June 16th at 8pm. An excellent competitor purse of $2,000 to win and $300 just to start is in place. There is no registration fee, license fee or entry fee due by any sprint team competing in the event, as always. Joining the 360 C.I. fuel injected winged Sprint Cars will be the GTRP racing divisions.
After the SCB’s first visit to GTRP last July, the track and the series received a lot of positive feedback from the fans – many of them asking for a return visit. GTRP booked this 2018 event last year and was announced for all teams and fans to see last December 24th – so everyone has been anxiously awaiting this event for a long time!
Fans can expect a great field of top Sprint Car teams from throughout the region, plus several more 'invaders' will round out the field. Reminder to all area sprint car teams (of any C.I.D. displacement of 360 or under), it is important that you are aware of the SCB rules, and how simple it is to participate in the series. So here are some quick, top-line notes:
There is no Series license, registration or entry fee due from sprint car teams to the SCB.
Car rules are very similar to your existing area 360C.I. sprint rules. However, the Series does have very strict wing angle rules and rear tire rules, which are all posted at the series site. All SCB rules will be enforced, so drivers need to read the posted rules prior to arriving at the track.
We recommend that drivers new to the SCB for this event contact the series director, Steve Lang, prior to race day simply as a 411 and to field any questions you may have. A wing angle video is also posted on the rules page of the series website that shows you how to set it properly.
Note all sprint car teams that sign in will draw for heat race starting positions, regardless of their engine C.I. displacement (360 or under) and will receive passing points to determine their straight-up from points feature race starting position. All SCB legal teams will compete for the same posted purse regardless of C.I. displacement (360 or under).

2016 SCB runner-up in series points, Junior Jenkins comments: "We are a budget conscious team, and since we started racing with the Sprint Car Bandits two years ago, we have noticed a sizable difference in our net nightly cost vs. earnings, and it has helped keep us on the track. Plus, I feel it has substantially closed the gap in the competition, giving more drivers a fighting chance."
