This makes me want to put some used street tires on the MR2 and come play in the brackets - that's good stuff.

I know what you mean about cheap race cars cobbled together from wrecked donors. Now if we can just come up with enough parts to get my transaxle back together by next week, I'll be in good shape. One of the great things about our series is we have a number of people with different areas of expertise who are happy to help you build or modify your car into something that may whip their ass next race. Thanks T. BTW-I've decided to pay you back for the tranny work by purchasing the entire set of Ross Bentley books to keep at your shop for when you get bored! ;D ;D Muh ha ha ha...., I'll pass on the books. I saw the movie. Sometimes you just have to trust the director to hit the high points for you....  On the trans....., no sweat (except for that "whip their ass" part... ;D), just don't attribute any association between me and the trans when you go for that pass at T2 on the downshift and the trans locks up as planned.....  And uh, I think I found us a core to get that wire ring, waiting on a call back so we should be golden on that front. T |

Also have an '86 turbo rolling chassis with the interior stripping already done for cheap....easy NA conversion. T |

MMMMM, More 944s, I am listening.
Hey Troy and T we do have a spare trans in the barn.
I bet Gary R. has a stack of them also.
Patrick would you like to drive the 240 for the heat and I will drive the feature?
Tag Team racing?

Kevin Romano is coming back too and if Fred McMullan ever manages to make another race, that's two more right there. Like I said, I have a free '83 chassis for anybody that wants it to join in, needs engine and transmission. And this '86 turbo body is ready for a cage, all the carpet, glue etc. is already removed.....good candidate for build-up. One of my buddies just called and reassured me that he'll have a Civic core for me tomorrow....needs to be the type without the removable 5th/Rev cover like Troy has, not like Rebstock's. Out the door, check y'all later......., T |

I was wondering if this place would liven up, its been quiet for awhile. Looking forward to the next race.
There may be another 944 or two on the track next season to boost the evil empire numbers!

Don't forget Saturday's nite test (flashlights?) Just found out the 007 was fitted for lights when I wasn't paying attention(most of the time). And I will be there Sunday (provided the lights work Sat. nite and I don't drive into the pond)

A little discussion point to get the forum kicked off for today Carver, what's the rules clarification on one driver qualifying and and qualifying for feature grid placement and a second driver racing the feature....?

T- Did you read the message? Hit me up to discuss. Yup...., one thing going for it is originality of the design and that's a big plus given the potential crowd. A lot/most people I'd know would already have the factory offered piece (yep-Porsche made one) or one of the ones you already saw around some of the vendor sites or Ebay and it'd take some kind of obvious difference to coax them into changing over. Exclusivity goes a fair ways among this crowd and I think you have that with this piece because of the physical and visual differences. What's the plan on color....? Natural, anodized, painted.....? Some of the potential buyers have either street cars or high power built up garage/dyno queens and color matching to other accessories would be a plus too. I can get y'all in with at least 1-2 vendors that move a lot of 944 and 944T stuff. I'll PM or email you later. T |

T As of right now, they were going to be black anodized with laser etching, just as shown in the pics. I can see how much custom colors would be, but they would probably only be in a few different variants. Please email or call me later. I'm indisposed from 9-1:30 with breaks every 1.5 hours. I get email the entire time. |

All I need to do is throw some street tires on it and/or drop the boost. Plus blasting people down the straights is fun! Patrick |

gosh darn it patrick you don't even race in our bracket and you are getting folks fired up. carver we could stir up a mess in points with a 1-2 finish. personally we couldn't start up any nascar style drama in red bracket if we tried...let me take that back. anyone know of any cars moving up and out of the bracket this race? lane you got your swap done? LOL....riled up.....? Dude, you don't come around here enough.... Heck, I was just passing through after not posting for a good number of days and this place is dead.....saw Carver's message and figured I'd jump in the fray. Notice Carver put me last..... ;D "Lane, Gary, Eon, T" T It is where you finished ;D |
