I know it's not $500 and go out there and race
I was just questioning Pablo's math is all 
Not required.
Side note, I'd think that we would be able to come up with more than 6 people who would be willing to pitch in and help out in some capacity.

This. Buying a built car is pennies-on-the-dollar compared to building. And I don't think I'd want to do any serious track work without an actual fire system. They can be hand for cheap enough that I'd rather just pull a handle and bail, rather than have to fumble with a hand-held one as I'm on fire.
I would volunteer to help wrench but I have my own project car with my finances tied up into, I don't want to fund another. Nor do I think realistically many other Ohio members would be able to aid financially. Talk is cheap.
What he said. Maybe if I didn't race SCCA and doing all ofthis extra car work, but this year I'm out for sure.
I live to far away to really help out 
I might start looking into the GRM challange with a goal of $2016. That's 3 years out so that should give me time to plan and research. With what I plan on doing with the Camaro I could use the old drivetrain & front frame. That puts me at $1 spent so far, $2015 to go.

I wouldn't dismiss the idea, but buying a 'used' chump car might be a good approach to minimize work. Does someone volunteer to troll the interwebz for one?

I'm not saying I'll participate financially, this year. Just throwing it out there and providing what I know.
(rlaugh) That flipped my giggle switch
leave it to a miata owner to talk about flipping giggle switches.... :/
ebay didn't provide anything
I know right?
It wouldn't. Try the Lemons & Chump forums. Also, with ANYTHING race related, read the rulebooks before you put down money. The way LeMons and Chump look at $500 is vastly different, and a car legal for one may not end up being legal for the other.

Yes, the rule book has a classification of cars and years that are allowed. Racingjunk is also another resource to look at.
Look around hard enough and you can find people advertising a seat for a nominal charge. $800 will get you seat in my friend's Alfa chumpcar at the VIR race. Of course you have to have your own safety equipment.

I think Will is probably the only cat who has the finances to run a Chump car around here. It's hard enough getting members to chip in a $100 deposit for Mid-Ohio. Realistically, aint no body got money for a chump car series.
I'm not rich at all, I just live within my means. I'll shut up now and you guys can go back to fantasy land with Monopoly money. lulz
