I'm down.

We'll build a tank :D and then we'll stick a generic fart can on it, + all the ricey things we can think of, including a huge RS banner for the windsheild (if it has one)

and we'll get chopstick to drive it :D

There's a team from the Lower Mainland. They went last year, and are planning to go this year. They ran well into the top 20 before a fire in the engine bay finished their day off.

thats awesome!

Designed by Timpo?

i think car and driver did this too and i thought it was a cool idea
i think they drove a rx 7



i'd love to do it but i suck at driving.

Designed, and manufactured by.

$100 for the car. $400 for bondo and body kits :P

This is close to my house, i think i should check it out, i have at least that much in my wallet :D

Even if i don't use it, i can drive it into a wall :D

who's got a competition license?

if anyone is serious about this, I volunteer to help build the car.

Awesome idea! I'd help, but I suck at fixing cars. I'll photograph the event :D

2.2: Driver Eligibility: All drivers must have a valid US or International driver's license and a valid competition license (club memberships, rally licenses, and instructional licenses are not accepted). The ONLY acceptable competition licenses are: AMP, SCCA, FIA, NASA, NASCAR, CSRG, ARCA, WestCar, SRL, Legends/600, USAC, CASA, BCRA, BBORR, NCMA, MMRA, Barber Comp, CRA, ICSCC, HMSA, HSR, and SVRA. If you don't have one of these, you'll need to buy a 2008 comp-license waiver; these cost $50, are good for the 2008 calendar year, and are sold in the pits on Saturday morning before the race.


I want to drive :D

why oh why use a cheap rx7 in an endurance race? :p
i always thought that would be a rad event to do

That would be my A.D.D. kicking in lol

I read "and a valid competition lic....."
and closed the page hahaha

I was actually planning on doing this LAST year, but my partners all sold-out on me.

I'm pretty keen on trying to build a $500 944 (since I have enough spare parts to build another car) it'll probably have to wait until next year since I'm too busy this year... but if I run next year there will be a HUGE RevScene banner FO SHO!

Goddamn. How do you make a $500 944?




Edit: This guy wants an "offer"

http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/car/597085687.html

How about $300

$500 for the car. Tires & safety equipment are free. You can get $$$$ for parts that you remove & sell, and you can put that $$$$ back into the car without being penalised. And then I have shitloads of spare parts.. so it makes sense.

lol go team revscene!!!

3.7: Fire-Retardant Clothing: Full SFI- or FIA-approved fire-retardant driving suits AND FULL FIRE-RESISTANT RACING LONG UNDERWEAR must be worn by all drivers at all times while inside the car. Single-layer 3.2/A1 or 3.2/A3 suits are accepted ONLY WHEN WORN WITH FIRE-RETARDANT LONGJOHNS. Multilayer suits rated 3.2/A5 or higher are highly recommended. Multilayer suits rated 3.2/A5 or higher may be worn without longjohns. Fire-retardant FIA or SFI-rated racing gloves and shoes are required. And yeah, while they may very well be superior, military-spec or firefighter suits are not SFI rated and thus we can't accept them.


Track guys: How much does this stuff cost, anyhow?

Helmet is $200-$1000
Gloves are $50-$200
Shoes are $100-$500
Suit is $500-$2000

yah u cant skimp out on safety

watch the bill pileup to 4gs

And what about the cages, harnesses, etc.

cages are anywhere from 400-2000 lol, really the sky is the limit =p

So, is anyone interested in reviving this idea for 2010/2011? I just found the 24 Hours of LeMons website, and it greatly interests me! There's also the ChumpCar Series this year, which has 2-3 races in the West Coast region (Portland International Raceway, Infineon Raceway etc).

Maybe we can hit up the sponsors for sponsorship for this.

I'm thinking of getting a Previa, and stripping out the interior, and upping the boost on the supercharger. Mid-engined, boosted RWD/AWD minivan ftw!

i am down for the event, i have a few mechanic buddies as well that would be definately interested. Whos REALLY up for this? 6 ppl with $400 investment each would get a nice build.

i dont think the minivan would meet the weight requirement.. and i'll be slow as fuk lol
