Got up to 46th with our anemic 318is automatic then our ex motorcycle racer spun being aggressive and sheared the engine and transmission mounts. Got it into pits under its own power and me and two others swapped out mounts got it back out on track for 4.5 more hours.
We came back out in 78th and finished up 59th. Not bad for our first outing with an untried rookie team and car. | | | | | 11-12-2012, 04:03 AM | #4 | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Virginia USA Posts: 8 |
Not bad at all! I like the extra passenger on the roof of the ti! | | | | | 11-12-2012, 05:08 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |
Yeah they have a bit more HP than our m42 car, they are S52 with a getrag 260 and 3.73 so they are quite a bit faster.
I bought another Ti hopefully this week for 280 with toasted engine. It's gonna be my new Lemon's team ride. Parting ways from my current as they don't have the same drive and goals that I do. | | | | | 11-13-2012, 05:11 PM | #6 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: north ridgeville, ohio Posts: 20 |

that looks really fun! what was the race budget limit? | | | | | 11-15-2012, 02:15 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |
Expect to spend up to 5K for your first event. It depends on your level of skills. Our team paid for a quality roll cage. Everyone commented on how nice it was when going through tech inspection.
In honesty most money is spent on safety gear and fees. So after your first race the costs go down drastically unless you bring in another driver or you damage your car.
We have another driver coming in so we are charging him 750 to join but that gives him access to the car. | | | | | 11-16-2012, 12:09 AM | #10 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: SF Posts: 7 |
so when a driver buys in are damages split between them or is the driver that does the damage responsible? who owns the car at the end of the season. Seems like a great way to get started! | | | | | 11-16-2012, 03:10 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Globally Posts: 1,162 |
We have an agreement that damages are split hence why entry fee on to the team. | | | | | 11-18-2012, 05:53 PM | #12 | | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: SF Posts: 7 |
