greg1647545532 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 My plans for the summer may be changing, and I'm trying to fill the void. Would anyone be interested in getting a ChumpCar team together for the Oct 8-9 25 hour race? Specifically, anyone with a trailer, welder, or actual race experience, as I'm already planning on taking up the casual mechanic/casual driver slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig71188 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Maybe - I've got a lot of projects going on, but I can bring actual race experience (in endurance races!) and might be interested in driving.....or heading up some crew folks... I reviewed ChumpCars "rules" and found thier group to be a bit better for my tastes than Lemons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Yeah, from what I'm reading, ChumpCar is better for people who want to race, and LeMons is better for people who want to tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I was hoping you would be, Tinman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Get a rough initial plan together and see where it goes. I don't have the time for any of the organizational type duties but I can offer time for fabrication and a tow up in a well equipped enclosed trailer. I have a little enduro experience and a crap ton of laps around Ledges. I haven't read the ChumpCar rules, how similar are they to the LeMons rules?

craig71188 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I haven't read the ChumpCar rules, how similar are they to the LeMons rules? From a foggy memory - pretty similar in car prep rules to Lemons. Operationally, they require their basic drivers school for newbies and have a more structured penalty plan for cheating/errant drivers/etc (a little less "show" - a little more like a real race organization). I will have to reread if this starts to move forward.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 i'm down to drive too. i know that track pretty good and raced the 24 hours of lemons there in '09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 link to rules http://www.chumpcar.com/chumpcar-rules.pdf sound like it could be a blast to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBussman1647545507 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I may be interested, full time mechanic w/welder, casual driver. Although I do have a fire suit and other safety equipment. Driving experience is pretty limited: 3 years autocross, one year of karts, and plan on doing first track day at nelson ledges in June. Might be able to get a sweet hookup on a car if you you still need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mericet Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you are looking for a car, let me know. A few of those that posted know it well. Tinman even did the cage a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still in green (and a few other colors) in "as last raced" condition (one lobe +/- shy of a full cam)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mericet Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I even started the car a while ago. Runs (roughly) but the battery needs to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 This sounds like a ball of fun. But for the next 12 months grad school will own me. However with any luck I'll be in a position to graduate this time next year. If anyone is putting together a team then I would love to be included. Unfortunately, about the only thing I can bring to the table is enthusiasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
