Six Shooters are New Zealand's newest regional class, raced from Auckland to right here in Cromwell, Central Otago.
Six Shooters combine a Sprintcar chassis with a Holden V6 engine, and are also referred to as Wingless Sprintcars.
With their 3.6 V6 motors, Holden Commodore VY's and VZ's were no slugs on the highway. So, it doesn't take much imagination to picture the speed and spectator excitement created by dropping one of these V6's into the chassis of a Sprintcar, minus the downforce benefits of the front and overhead wings.
This class is relatively affordable open wheeler racing for those who have reached the 16 year age limit of Youth Ministocks, or anyone with a need for speed who is keen to hit the dirt. Six Shooters are an excellent use for Sprintcar chassis and running gear that is no longer competitive.
