OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Series

The OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Series was a division in OSCAAR for 27 seasons. The cars consisted of a low-cut, flat-sided late model chassis that were offset to the drivers side for better cornering on oval tracks and allowed the greatest horsepower of any Ontario stock car division. The series final season was in 2017. It was replaced by the new Ontario Outlaw Super Late Model Series the following year.
