SPLN SUX Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Isnt there several of these that occur in the US that are open to anyone who can pass tech and accommodate the rules? I was just watching the top gear episode where they did it and i have to say it looks like mighty good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLN SUX Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 isnt that the one that they pay you your prize in a big bag of nickels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 isnt that the one that they pay you your prize in a big bag of nickels? Actually yes it is. Nelson has a 24 hour "real" race each year. You'll need to be SCCA licensed and have an appropriately classed car to compete though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 You're going to need a license for anything other than the Lemons race. That takes time and money, you'll be lucky to make a race next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should like that safety equipment, you should like that allot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
