I really enjoyed the big luxury cars.
Something I could never afford new, competing in a $500 class amuses me.
Also live the themes.
If you've still got spaces on that list of 14, see if you have room for me.

if you can only race me in a straight line then whats the point 
...91 SMF SCCA
...91 SMF SCCA
I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Yea I figured you guys would be up for 60 mph bumper cars..
Ok well looks like there will be some fabrication and welding weekends out in Brandon..
Im still waiting to hear back from Moroso , on when Jay and I can get down to the track to look it over. Hoping for 2nd or 3rd week in Nov..
So here is the list. I have 2 cars.. I also have a Euro 2.3 engine that has about 60 more HP than the 325E cars. So if we have enough time and I can verify that the euro engine is OK Id like to swap that into one of the cars. The Euro engine is in a car that I have but its been sitting for a long time. Id think if I can get a gas can hooked up it be ok. The only problem with this is that it uses a unique distributor and computer.
VS leaving both cars E engines. I have a complete spare engine and ECU.. So running 2 of the same cars would mean ample spare parts.
I am open to thoughts on this.
Also had any one had any experience bending front struts for camber?
I have a used set of M3 springs and a used set of Ireland ones. Since each car was $250 there is another 250 for upgrades, minus any parts I sell off the cars.. Like AC interiors etc.. So there is room for springs.
Since we also will need to get creative with the Handleing I was thinking about doubling up the fron sway bars.. Like welding a 2nd stock one (with spacers to clear the mounting brackets.). So there would be more stiffness on the front.
Last of all .. we are allowed to have sponsors. I would really like to find a tire sponser Hankook or some other sticky tire. I dont think they allow R compounds but you can go down to a 180 to 200 wear tire. Any help here with tire sponsers is appreciated.
Here are all the interested parties as they come to mind.

So as you can see have more than 12 drivers.. If I missed any one let me know, but I really am looking for people with track or Auto X exoerience. Also being agressive on the track is a plus, but remebering that the car needs to last 24 hours. So there is a balance.
So if i can get 14 or so confirmed,,,I will continue planning on 2 cars.
Also as you see the cars need to be Themed. I would like to put something on one of the cars to Promote Rafaels ( who passed away ) Web site.. Hookedontrack.com.
But other than that I open for ideas..
Well thats it for now

I am extremely interested in this. I am no master mechanic, but I can turn a wrench and follow direction. I have both Auto-x and Road Race seat time. I will be on Moroso April 19th. Let me know!
