1987 ASA//SCC/ACT/All-Pro carset

[ChaosZero]

This will be a complete (hopefully) 1987 carset for the ASA90 mod, featuring entries from that season, alongside entries from ACT, All-Pro and SCC that took part in a few select rounds.
SCC is short for Stock Car Central, a short-lived championship that aimed to bring together people from ACT (American-Canadian Tour), ASA (American Speed Association) and All-Pro (All-Pro Racing Series, eventually morphed into Southwest Tour, Busch North and a bunch of other stuff, including present-day ARCA).
They only ran as a championship for 2 years (1987 and 1988) and they weren't very successful at it either as it was pretty much full of ASA people and got little interest from ACT and All-Pro teams.
Still, in 1987 they were supposed to be the first ever division to compete at the then-new/renovated Nazareth, after Penske bought it and paved it. But rain disrupted the schedule and after the Twin 25s qualifying sessions they couldn't race anymore because of other divisions also needing their own tracktime. This canceled round was then moved to the All-American 400 (Nashville Fairgrounds), which was already season finale for ASA and competed in a mixed field.

All in all, this carset will hopefully expand upon the few individual 1987 schemes already available for the ASA90 mod, including entries along the way from outside ASA as they intertwined thanks to the SCC.
ASA90 is weirdly underutilized as a mod, not much stuff has been done with it, least of it all stuff pertinent to the ASA series.

First car is the Buick LeSabre #36 of Kenny Wallace (1986 ROTY) with 3x alternate schemes, entered at Sanair (Molson 400), Cayuga (Molson Export 200) and Queen City (Cincinnati 300) in the order shown respectively.



Everything made from scratch other than the LeSabre front grill, which was yoinked from the 1990s BGN templace for Cup90 made by Mas Grafx (?).

As work on the '94 CTS carset has been paused due to IDing things getting increasingly frustrataing, I was able to find enough resources for these cars to the point I felt confident enough about painting them with less troubles, despite being over a decade older with less media attention received and not many events televised (if any).

 

[ChaosZero]

These are two Monte Carlos listed as DNQ for the All-American 400 that didn't make the race.
#44 of Mark Smith and #84 of Newt Moore.
Both are on the T-Bird body, with Monte Carlo frontend parts yoinked from the new Aero88 templates by CC#48 released earlier this year. It seems the closest to the real cars, minus the intakes on the bumper

 

[ChaosZero]

#2 of Mark Martin, the iconic SAI Roofing T-Bird only used in 1987. Alternate scheme is from another race he ran that year with this car outside of ASA, the Slingers National. Everything, including front grille, made from scratch.
Some contigs reused from CC#48 and Dr. Noise's 1980s and 1990s contigs sets.

 

[ChaosZero]

Another Buick LeSabre, this time the #41 of Jaime Aube. Raced full time in ACT, made sporadic appearances in ASA/SCC.
Included two schemes, namely the ACT one used for the first round of the championship at Lee Speeday (Coors 100) and the SCC/ASA scheme used at the Nazareth 300 that got cancelled mid-event due to rain.
Number from scratch, some contigs from the 1980s/1990s repositories.

 

[ChaosZero]

It wouldn't be a complete carset without a Goodwrench Chevrolet scheme. Here's two for the price of one.
Dale Earnhardt's #8 Camaro as appeared in its only ASA appearance for 1987 (Ford Turbo 300 at Sandusky) and its Slinger Nationals counterpart.
As usual, everything from scratch aside from a few contigs. Custon made chrome effect on the number, using a standard DEI font available here on Stunod in the download section somewhere as a base. Credits for that base to the painter.

 

[ChaosZero]

The two Miller T-Birds from the canceled Nazareth 250 and an alternate scheme from the Slinger National.
#3 of CART and Indianapolis 500 champion Danny Sullivan, and the #79 of Bobby Dotter.
Everything except for a few contigs made from scratch, including numbers.
The T-Bird light covers are yoinked from the original Aero88 templates and modified to fit here.
Every photo shows these cars with a very bright red, but I have reason to believe it's just the result of compensating for the natural oversaturation of 1980s cameras. This is more of a period-correct shade of red these cars would've probably ran in those days.



There is technically a third Miller car from 1987, the #22 Buick LeSabre of Bobby Allison. However that car has already been made by somebody else and is available in the download section here on Stunod. It will be referenced in the .lst, but won't be included in this carset.

#55 Camaro of Bill Stephenson, ran a partial schedule.

I'm glad to see this mod getting some more love! I've always wished for more real life cars for this mod.

I feel the lower/lesser known rungs of the racing world get unfairly shafted whether ARTGO, ASA,Winston West, BGN North, or older ARCA/USAC stuff. I so wish there was more reference material to work with, I respect those who are willing to put up with trying to work off of grainy old photos in some dusty corner of the web and have the patience to hunt down what they need. Keep up the good work!

 

[ChaosZero]

Another part-timer, Dennis Vogel and his #51 Buick as appeared at the last racae of *his* season, the Winchester 400.
Everything aside from some contigs from scratch.

 

[ChaosZero]

#81 Buick of Harold Fair, another ASA and All-Pro regular.
Two schemes included, red one is from the Cincinnati 300 and the black one is fro the Ford Turbo 300.
Everything except some contigs from scratch.

 

[ChaosZero]

#07 of Paul Richardson, an ACT driver that took part in the practice session for the canceled Nazareth 250. A rare car too, as the Cutlass didn't seem to be popular at all in 1987, with this possibly being the only one in the carset.
Everything aside from some contigs from scratch.

 

[ChaosZero]

Adding six schemes at once this time around, including four Firebirds, thus introducing another make and model to the carset.
#3 Randy Slack, #42 Dave Isen, #46 Bill Zardo, #62 Wayne Keeling, #82 Peter Gibbons, #91 Ross Urlin.
As always, everything but some contigs from scratch.

 

[Lastlap]

Great job on all of these!

1 small note, the Castrol logo on the #62 is the wrong era. For this time period, it would be this:

 

[ChaosZero]

Thanks, fixed.
#7 Camaro of Eddie Hanks, from the All-Pro series as appeared at the CAM 2 Racing Fuel 100 and the Sunoco Motor Oil 200, both held on consecutive days at Huntsville Speedway, AL.
Everything aside from some contigs made from scratch.

 

[ChaosZero]

Another two All-Pro cars, #24 Buick of Mike Harmon and #58 Camaro of Darrell Brown.
Everything except for some contigs from scratch.
The #24 is a partially modified Penske number using a number set available somewhere here on Stunod. Credits to the creator for the original numbers.

 

[ChaosZero]

The player car, a #15 Buick.
I found a photo of this car listed as having taken part in the CAM 2 Racing Fuel 100 and the Sunoco Motor Oil 200 at Huntsville Speedway, but no driver attributed to it. Thus, it's a real scheme intended as an optional player car. Simple scheme, unsponsored other than the various series contigs.

 

[ChaosZero]

A second #82 Camaro, driven by Billy Bigley Jr. mostly in All-Pro (with two starts in ASA in the same car). This is the All-Pro scheme as appeared in the Neil Bonnett Race Cars 250, the 1987 season opener at Five Flags.
Everything aside from some contigs from scratch.

this is amazing... brings back so many memories

@ChaosZero I never like to ask for things pre release, might you consider releasing a 'Contingency Set' to use with this carset?

I have no ASA knowledge and would love to paint an '87 ride to race against it. I have the ASA90 mod & templates though never created anything for it.
