IROC HISTORY & INFORMATION
The IROC race cars are "born" in the South Carolina shop of Mike Laughlin, one of the country's premier builders of stock cars. Laughlin uses steel tubing to form the cars' skeleton, then ships the completed 600-pound chassis to IROC headquarters.

The Engines are modified versions of a GM 350 cubic-inch small-block V-8. Horsepower is a conservative 500 at 6800 rpm in the interest of reliability and durability.

Bodywork is molded by Diversified Glass Products, Inc. of Marlette, Michigan.

Signore and crew assemble the pieces. The completed car weighs 3,500 pounds. The Ease of maintenance is a priority.

Veteran IROC test drivers Dave Marcis, Jim Sauter, Dick Trickle and Andy Hillenburg run the cars before each series event to ensure that chassis suspension settings are the same.

International Race of Champions co-founder, Barbara Signore dies August 7th 2013 at 80 Signore founded the IROC with her husband, Jay
