Mission
Statement: |
Our association
was formed with the purpose of making racing fun and more affordable,
to provide close competition and to develop an interest in auto racings’
past with Twister Cars’ nostalgia styling. The Twister Cars’
concept of nostalgia style racecars combined with an economical racing
series will result in more participation, more fun and closer competition
for the ordinary racing fan. Motor sport artist and racecar driver
Jimmy Schrum developed this idea. With a lifelong involvement in auto
racing Jimmy has witnessed the escalating costs in all forms of motor
sports including the newer entry-level classes. Jimmy saw a need for
an economical racing series with cars that have an affordable initial
cost. A thorough and tight inspection process with low cost replacement
parts will result in a competitive racing series that is more fun
for the entire family.i |
