Re: ChumpCar Racing
Slugworks was really fast there. That thing cooked once it hit boost.
We were stupid slow whenever we weren't turning. We *barely* finished too, that motor was hurt when we finished as evidenced by the aforementioned smoke screen. It was a fun race again, although I doubt we will make the twin 7 races at BIR while we search for a more potent engine to power the shitbox.

Re: ChumpCar Racing
True, that track loved the car, or maybe it was the other way around. Shane, I dont think I got video of your crash.

Re: ChumpCar Racing
A Ford 2.3l motor we were looking at as a swap candidate fell through so I got curious as I was pulling the motor out of the Galant. The Chevette engine bay has more room than I thought it did.

I've been dreaming of a Chevette 4G6X swap for a while now. Just haven't found a clean chassis yet.

Re: ChumpCar Racing
Some pics from today's race. This is my buddies teams E30. It was their first time ever doing this. The car lasted all 7hrs with no real problems which is a great accomplishment for them! I think they placed 14th or so. Was a great time! I'd love to start a team for something like this, if only I had time to devote to it which I currently don't  Good seeing Matt D's team kick some butt. The Slugworks guys did pretty deng good too, they were up in the front of the pack most of the time!
Here's some of my crappy pics:
Friday night boozin and bon-fire! Matt D and Emily came over to chill with us!
We were right next to the Slugworks guys in the pits!
The sweet E30! I think they got this thing for around $300. From what I heard, it was in rough shape when they got it. They've spent the past several months getting it ready and man it turned out spectacular I think!
Go Time!
Hot on Shake N Bakes tail!!!
My buddy Derek tearin it up!

Re: ChumpCar Racing
Man, I wish I had the time to do this. I think a FWD DSM would be the way to go considering I can build a motor for one with my hands tied behind my back and stripped down, they don't weigh much. Plus parts are cheap and plentiful. I've never had a lot of issues with reliability, it's one of the best built factory drivetrains out there as long as you take care of it.

Re: ChumpCar Racing
I think a N/A 4G63 powered (insert a light vehicle here) would be very cool.

Sean ( the guy with the silver supra that tunes at DB ) and one of his buddies did a 24hr LeMons race with a mirage hatch and an NA 4g63 a few years ago. I think the only thing that broke were some crusty old wheel studs!
