The VETTE
« on: October 09, 2013, 06:56:53 PM »
I picked up a ugly pile of a 1985 Corvette. I am planning on using it for the 34 Roadster. Taking the front and rear suspensions out and transferring them to the 34 frame. Also using the engine and trans, 5.7 TPI L98 engine 700r4 trans.

I had an idea, since I already have the car and know people. If we can get 4 people together to do a Chump car or Lemons race we can use this car. I paid slightly more than $500 for it, but not that much more.

We could race prep it for $500ish to $700 per person I think. With spares and tires. Maybe less, not sure what the safety rules are.

Then race fees some already have driving suits and helmets.

Anyone seriously want to attempt and 8 hour or 24 hour race?

I would do it in a heart beat and I'm sure Chad would throw in just as quick

Several closer than Rausch or similar. Closest being Watkins Glen.

It drove on the trailer fine. The beaver tail helps a lot on that trailer.

5 hour round trip with the 10k trailer yesterday, I really like that trailer, but I dont need 2 of them. Someone should buy it.

The rules for Chump car and Lemons are $500 on the car max, or get a penalty.

I paid more than $500
