The SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series is a Late Model racing league operating since 1985, originally with NASCAR sanction as the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Tour and later AutoZone Elite Division, Southwest Series, and before being sanctioned by a group of West Coast racers under the premises of the Stockcar Racing League.
The cars feature a perimeter frame chassis where rails of equal lengths must kick out, compared to the more modern offset chassis where one side is straight and one side kicks out. They weigh 2,900 pounds and have a fiberglass body.
The original NASCAR Southwest Tour began in 1985 and ran until NASCAR discontinued the Elite Division in 2006.
When NASCAR eliminated the Elite Division at the end of the 2006 season, former IRL driver Davey Hamilton's SRL sanctioning body gave the former NASCAR Southwest Tour teams in the Southwest a series to race, under the SRL Wild West Shootout name.
With management of the series now under the control of the Collins family of Mesa Marin (both old and new) tracks, the series decided to return to the more familiar Southwest Tour name in 2008.
Current SRL rules require a Five Star racing body complying with any NASCAR Southwest Tour-approved body from 2000--2006, or SRL since 2007, and complying with the Approved Body Configuration program used nationally in short track racing.
The SRL has a green-white-checkered finish rule. Nathan Tucker won the first championship under the SRL sanct

That's my Dad. He says thank you, but wondering what happened to the other video that showed the car in the pits?
He said you're correct about the tires. needs some drag tires and might try it again.
He made 3 passes. The last one 7.99 @ 102 and thinks it will go in the 6 second range if it wouldn't spin the tires to the finish line!
Thanks for the video!
