⁉️“How much does a mini cup car cost?” READ BELOW! ⬇️
This is our most popular question BY FAR, so we figured it would be worth resharing since there's a lot of new faces around here. 👋
1. It’s a difficult question because it greatly depends on what you’re starting with and what series you are building for. A suspended roller may cost a few thousand but will take quite a bit of work to get it up to specifications for our series, VMCRA. Every car and the series requirements can be different and that can change your costs! For a race ready car only for our series, you can expect to invest anywhere between $6-10K. Mini cups are one of the most affordable classes to race in.
2. The cost of the car isn’t the only investment required for racing. It involves A LOT more equipment, tools, transport, entry fees, travel expenses, etc. not to mention your time in the race shop!
3. Asking what something costs is a bit of a private matter. Just like any other investment, we don’t like to publicly discuss our personal financial matters on social media. But we can assure you we sacrifice on many things so we can race competitively. We’re not wealthy, but we work hard and have great partners who support us. 👊🏻
4. We do not currently sell, build, or ship mini cups. We’re too busy racing!
5. We’re happy to discuss more with others who are serious about our series and have/are in the process of purchasing a car. 🏁

🤔 Found a tiny issue when taking the cars out of the trailer. For a former tire technician, no big deal! Easily save your tires with 's Cream II Tire Sealant. This isn't sponsored, but definitely a must in our garage! 🔧
There's nothing better than that 🏁 feeling!

🏁Orange County Speedway is where Noah notched his first win and he's loved the track for it's nostalgia and bumpy surface ever since! Tyler agrees and he loves it now, too! 🔥 Both boys set fast lap times with Noah grabbing the pole, Tyler 2nd. First feature race Noah led flag to flag, with some great racing throughout the field! Tyler brought it home in a close second.
For the second race, drivers elected to redraw the top four positions, meaning Tyler would start 3rd and Noah, 4th. At the drop of the green, the racing was incredible with the top four taking it three wide. Noah was able to get a run off turn one to progressively take the lead and it was an excellent show for the Jabs Construction, Inc. Virginia Minicup! Last night, Noah was thrilled to celebrate his 10th win on the eve of National Cancer Survivors Day 🎀 and also pay a respectful bow to the late Kyle Busch. 8️⃣
Back to back one-two finishes make us very proud of our team and all the effort we put in week to week. We've got something special and we don't take it for granted one bit! Our 4:30am arrival time back at home this morning makes us thankful for a day of rest. We have a two weeks off and then return to Dominion Raceway in Spotsylvania Virginia on June 27th! We hope to see you there!
As always, thank you to those who support us each and every race week. Thank you to the several fans who came to meet us in the pits and victory lane! We could not do it without you!
