Yes I know buy eh.. are you sure it will hold up? I know the trans cooler on mid 90's Camaros didnt last long and soon you would have a huge hunk of steel images/smilies/tongue.gif

.. Also how many miles are on that puppy? OMG I forgot about tires! wow.. thats gunna be expensive..

Yeah. It all adds up. I've already coughed up for part of the money on tires, and ~$150 in registration fees for just me. Still on the agenda, is addressing the Brakes, and safety gear. i would say things like helmets and racing suits, and the roll cage, are all currently top priorities, since we've already seen the thing runs. . .not sure if it's under it's own power though lol.

Okay, just a question, but how do you plan on moving it from MD to MI? I live in MD and if it is in streetable condition, would be willing to make a road trip out of it and deliver it to MI. I'd need to get back somehow, but we'll work that out later. Good luck guys!

Serj · August 30th, 2007, 05:36 AM

I'm already in Michigan. I believe that it might be trailered over here last i heard from Quiky. It is streetable, and i even mentioned they should OTR it all the way here like some other previous team did for the cali race. . .but there's no confirmation on that.

Not sure what OTR means but I assume it means something along the lines of drive the car all the way to MI.. I would have to disagree if thats what you meant. If wouldnt be worth driving it all that way and chances are its going to break down and major parts would break before even entering the race.. Saying you raced a half-lap in the Lemons is cooler then not making it to the event Especailly since you put so much money into a crap car

Quiky · August 30th, 2007, 03:04 PM

It will be in an enclosed trailer..

Doesn't that make it kind of easy to figure out where you are? That is if you know the developments I guess. images/smilies/tongue.gif

How much are you looking for, donations wise?
