The Allison Legacy car is a three-quarter sized replica of a Monster Energy Cup car and is powered by a four cylinder MAZDA B-2200 truck engine that produces approximately 125 horsepower. The cars use the standard MAZDA five-speed transmission.

The cars weigh about 1,400 pounds dry but must weigh a minimum of 1,655 pounds with driver to race. The series is a “SPEC” series designed to minimize your racing costs and place the emphasis on the driver instead of the equipment.

$20,000 and you aren’t allowed to work on your own engine. I get that it’s spec racing, but what is the shop cost for a rebuild when it has to be sent back to Allison to be worked on?

That is how spec racing with sealed engines has always been. But it is a Mazda truck engine, that thing is pretty indestructible. Which is probably why they chose it.

They probably have a engine swap program if you blow one so it doesn’t kill the pocket book.
