The crew is getting ready to warm the motor at
Double X Speedway in California, MO in 2005.
Sprint cars run on alcohol and the motor must be
warmed up to achieve peak performance.
2
Tony and the 9c turning laps on the tight ¼ mile
track at Double X Speedway in California, MO. On
a typical night, 20 to 25 gallons of fuel will be
used.
3
The Eagle Chassis frame for the 2006 car before
it entered the paint booth at Paint-Ko (Larry
McCown owner/operator). It gives you a good
view of the drivers compartment.
4
This shot of the frame for the 2006 car shows the
down tubes on the roll cage viewed from the front
of the car.
5
All of the triangular geometry in the frame
construction can be seen here. This adds the
strength that is necessary for the rigors that
the car must endure on the track.
6
Another shot of the frame showing the triangular
geometry. This one was taken right before it was
painted by Larry McCown at Paint-Ko in Sedalia,
MO.
7
The bottom side of the frame shows that there
isnt much there. This makes the car lighter and
faster on the track.
8
Notice the size of the right rear tire and
compare it to size of the left rear in the next
picture.
9
The left rear tire is smaller than the one that
is used on the right. This is called stagger
and helps the car and driver negotiate through
the turns. Stagger varies from track to track.
10
A shot of the 9c from 2005. This was the first
year that Tony carried the ACCKC logo on the 9c
and took it dirt trackin.

The 2006 car will look something like this when
it is completed.
