If you haven’t heard, Robbie Gordon’s Stadium Super Truck Series is now in full swing. The SST series looks to be more extreme than previous indoor truck events.

I’d like to know if you know of any good cars for a dirt (actually clay) track. I’m willing to spend about $100-$200 and possibly go a bit over my limit.
