Apparently you and I missed out on the OPs psychic session where he explained everything in the attendees minds.

These classes are also dominated by 2.4L quad-4 cavaliers & sunfires.

B20/B16 head and vtec killer cams

Thats not cheating is it? lol

I was not really trying to imply anything, I was only sharing a photo of a friends car that was in immaculate condition when it was converted over.

And gave zero details other than a vague odometer comment.

I have a short phone video of it from last Saturday night (first time on the track) trying to get around a Saturn. I'll upload it and post the link.

*Edit* Here is the video. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6hIgswNvNI"]3-24-12 - YouTube[/ame]

try taking a wider line into the first corner, that sould help the exit be faster. well if this was a normal track. On dirt I'm just guessing.

Yeah he tried pretty much everything that night. It was his first time out in a fresh car. Nothing has been done to the suspension yet. The car should be a contender after a few more modifications.

The guy I pit for runs a 240sx, he suffered a broken inner tie rod. I welded it up to get the car back in the feature but we didnt realize it also had a broken rear lower control arm.

I'm still looking for a car to build. I do have an 97 Accord but I think I want something a little smaller. I may just use the Accord for a Chumpcar this year.

Here is the 240sx.

1. Yes

2. It fills the stands more than drag racing.

3. The Teg after its first race is more than dirty. The drivers rear corner is all smashed in.
