From 4-year-olds in karts to high-speed Legends Cars — SSR runs a full progression ladder for every age and experience level.
SSR Champ Karts are the grassroots foundation of the program — caged oval karts powered by sealed Predator Ghost 212cc engines. All engines are sealed at SSR to keep competition equal and costs low. The cage kart platform uses the Demon Racing chassis.
Bandoleros are the bridge from karts into full-bodied race cars. Built on the INEX spec platform, every car runs an identical sealed engine package — so racecraft and driver skill determine the outcome, not the checkbook.

The Bandolero is a sealed spec series — all engines are controlled to ensure fair competition with minimal permitted modifications. Focus is on learning racecraft and working in traffic, not on horsepower.
Legends Cars are currently the premier division at SSR — high-speed, high-skill 5/8-scale stock cars built on the INEX platform. The Yamaha 3-cylinder engine is sealed by INEX, keeping the playing field level at speeds that demand real driving ability.
Legends Cars are part of the International Motor Contest Association (INEX) network — a national spec series with a standardized rule set and active racing community.
Legacy Cars are 3/4-scale NASCAR-style stock cars — tight, competitive racing with a sealed spec engine package. Think full-bodied race cars, close-quarters pack racing, and a real emphasis on momentum and racecraft over raw power.
Close-pack racing where momentum, positioning, and racecraft matter more than outright speed. A natural step for drivers ready to move beyond karts and Bandoleros into a bigger machine.
