Allendale Motors
Name: Luke “The Drifter” Roberts
Age: 35
Prior Racing Experience: “The Drifter” gained his nickname from the Hank Williams character, “Luke the Drifter” due to Roberts religious attitude in his early sprintcar career. After praying and then finally powering his way into the big time of Indycar, Roberts soon tired of the cut-throat nature of the open wheeler scene, only to find an equally bad scene in stockcars.
Tiriing of the scene he accepted a “last drive” with Allendale Motor’s team seven years ago and has never looked back, finding a wholesome family of mechanics that have given him faith in himself again
Team: Since 1965 Allendale Motors has been racing in America under various names to dodge creditors and lawyers, with their latest team, Pitney-Baker Autosport (named for the last two mechanics in the team not to have a team named after them!) being the ones to catch for mid-field NASCAR success, however, with the teams calm attitude suiting the bush league NASCAR rounds it’s yet to be seen how they’ll cope when they’re under the pressure of a full-on ASCAR season.
Car: The Allendale Barrier has been in production since 1966 and over the last 21 years the car has changed from a small muscle car to a big American barge, with the Barrier ASCAR being based upon the 422ci V8 “Roadhawk” (commonly used as a Taxi in upstate New York) and the 302ci Inline-6 Turbo “Skylighter” (commonly broken down)
The race car was built from the 1986 Allendale NASCAR with their 360ci V8 also taken from the same car, while the rules are similar, Allendale had to spend a considerable amount of time making the NASCAR, ASCAR ready.
. Although if you feel like it’s against the rules, then I can change it.
