I'm looking to buy Sprint Cars for a home based track. Pro Track tires falcon 7 motor something along those lines. Is there a company out there?

Just to let you know that's a radio control Losi Slider.

Most people build them off the Sprint Plus or modified womp chassis. A gentleman here in Ohio named John Humberger builds very nice ones

At one time you could buy a kit based on a sprints plus chassis. Possible they are still available from some of the shops that follow this forum.

A man named Steve Crawford from Missouri posts as "woodman" & builds sprint cars.based on the Sprints Plus chassis. Occasionally, he posts on this blog, but it would be easier to contact him on the Home Racing World slot car board.

Go to the track locator and club tracks in this section and look for the tracks in the Pennsylvania area, most of the tracks there that have ovals also have people who build off of the sprints plus chassis but the fast ones actually are built off of the narrowed brass womp chassis.  I do know that Donnie at Scale Speed Raceway has access to more than one sprint car builder.

I found this kit pretty cheap. I figured our club could add pro track front tires and falcon 7 motors.

Last I knew, REH Dist still has the Sprints Plus chassis and bodies as well as Rhino bodies in 1/32 scale.  Parma has made a 1/24 body and a wing kit that fits the standard indy car stamped chassis from Parma, Champion,  and JK  Products.  JK Products also has a Spring Steel sprint car frame that used to have a roll cage with it.  Many cars have been made out of womp frames as wel from EG Hobbies and others.
