Tim and Steve's Track car discussion

[Mike P.]

Steve,

Too bad the weather was so poor for the London Cobra show but it does sound like you found some interesting ride options! The Lucra kind'a looks like an older Viper and a Cobra mated but it would still be one awesome ride!!

Half the fun of getting new toys is checking out all the options or as Wayne Carini says "it's all about the chase". But just remember, only 10 more shopping weeks until the Tail of the Dragon and only 16 shopping weeks until Fall Supercruise!!

Steve, here ya go...perfect for you...seriously - http://www.classiccarstudio.com/1636/1974-MG-MGB.html

Rich....if I were to get this - http://www.turnology.com/news/meet-the-mid-engine-subaru-powered-factory-five-818-coupe/ - could I use your garage and guidance to build? Then....sell it to Steve for a track car? I'm full of ideas

Tim:

I ran a chump Car event at Gateway this weekend and believe it or not I had a blast. You need to give it a whirl.

I'll post a full write up soon.

Steve
PS: Thanks for the use of your HANS

I do want to try it, was thinking that last night. So you want us to build that car for you?

Given my unexpected great time this weekend I'm afraid to commit to a "standard" track car. Unlike my two other experiences, this car ran without interruption for seven 35 minute sprints and a 6 hour enduro.

Under any conditions I'm only going to go to the track 4 to 5 times a year. the costs of being a Chump Car team member is far less than owning a car.

I have to guess that Pam would agree with this logic as well? Besides, it would allow for an expanded budget for your future cruise car?

PS - only 7 more shopping weeks until the Tail of the Dragon trip!!!

Sure why not, as soon as you finish the one in the way

Hey Steve, how about a Panoz on a "no reserve" auction? Certainly exclusive! Mike P.

Here's one that's even better.

I think I could spot Tim 100 laps in a 150 lap race.

[Tim M]

Just because you have the car doesn't mean you know how to drive it

 

[Mike P.]

And I thought you didn't want open wheels?

BTW...only 3 more shopping weeks left til Supercruise!!

Nice looking car. Here's my current track car. At Harris Hill this past weekend we finished in 5th out of 32 cars on Saturday. On Sunday 3rd overall and 1st in class.

Tim and Mike:

This car is up for sale for just $4250. And its purple!

"This car is extremely well sorted and has won both Class A and Class B trophies at CMP."

You guys should start your own Chump Car team and come racing against us.

Would definitely want to tow that car in an enclosed trailer!

LOL.

Seriously Mike. If you have any desire to race (wheel to wheel) this is the cheapest way to go.

I was told the other day the "HPDEs are for pussies".
