Tobias Slingshot — a four-coil car with a 58-inch wheelbase, 600cc Briggs & Stratton engine and a Modified-style body —was unveiled in March 1999, with four of them running an exhibition at Borger’s Speedway. By the end of that year, Rich had constructed and sold more than 100, and introduced the class at seven tracks. The economy Slingshot provides a foot in the door for both young novices and older racers looking to downsize. “Instead of running a Sportsman or Modified at Bridgeport, for the same amount of money the driver and his whole crew could get Slingshots — and they could all have fun,” Rich justified.
