Wheres my old Volvo at?

 

Already on it.

 

We have an entry and car in progress too. Right now it's a shell - the crap cage is coming out this weekend and we get to build a new one. We have parts of an engine and no trans yet but lots of parts. Lot's of rebuild work to do but one week in and progress is looking good.

 

Ron - you do know that they can repo a car and auction it off. It'd be a shame to see you lose the evo after keeping it in storage all these years.

I'm driving in the ChumpCar race in Portland on Halloween. I am quite excited about it, I haven't driven in a circuit race in 16 years.

There will be a number of rally drivers and co-drivers competing in it.

Event is at the end of March.
Contact me for details of No Coast Motorsports winter special on Chump Car roll cage construction.
I believe Checkpoint is going to have a Chump Car safety package with seats, mounts, harnesses, and other required accessories as well.

 

Thanks Dave.. You putting your $500 Evo in Chump car too?

 

Nope...but trying to come up with ideas for the RA demolition derby.

For the love of god someone get the Caddy and keep the Daytons!

 

Turbocharged V8 Volvo 240 is the best car that would make economical sense for the RA crash and bang series. Rumor is that they'll be $100 entry and not limited entry. A newer Volvo converted to RWD would be more marketable.
Mark's going to cream at this one:

Here's some info from Topi about what the Finns are doing:

They are building RWD - the way they SHOUD be - Volvos in large quantities.
My favorite is this cute and best looking new Volvo C30. They also sell kits in various configurations. Raw body w RWD panels, flares, etc starts at 5500 Euros. (1Euro = $ 1.48 Bush Pesos)
Most use B23 EVO & non-EVO (2.8-3.3 liter) engines, Finnish gearbox & rr diff, Sellholm suspension and pretty much all the stuff from old RWD S40 and 940s they'he been racing for 15 years.
Who wants to be first here?

 

c30 or an a3, i would race the shit out of those....

A Starlet with a turbo Hyabusa engine or similar was the first thing that came to mind actually.
Once we fix the floorboards, a cage will likely be the next thing to start going into the car.

Sweet c30, I love those things for some reason!

 

This thread needs some pictures. Post your heap!

 

Chump Car & Rally Truck?

Too expensive Dave.
You need something more like this.

Or something like the Starlet but throw a crotch rocket engine in it.
Craigslist is not really the place to shop for the car though. Doesn't leave much budget for doing any modifications to stuff. Making friends with someone at a junkyard isn't a bad idea though. I think Dave Coleman's teams' Miata was two wrecked cars that the welded together to make one.

 

Andrew and I were lightly tossing around the idea if im still around about caging my suby, making it rwd, and entering this. It would be well under the $500 limit. And i think it would be a lot of fun. The sad thing is i would still probably drive it on the street

 

I think it'd be more fun if you sold the miata back to me for $500.

Dave

 

I think the toyota camper is a great idea. I'd go Toranado or mid engine 454

You could upstage these guys:

 

Im hoping to have this ready...

 

Sweet! You just gave me an idea. I know where there is one of those already caged and neglected.

 

AMC's rule!
they rule the POS crap can image at least.

I ran the Reno LeMons event last year and had a blast.
I think I got about 5 seasons of Hill climb seat time in one race.
good times.

 

I think I got about 5 seconds of Hill climb seat time in one race.
good times.

You and Dave should form a team.

I don't think there's a rule against smoking out the competition.
