The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Right-o. I just didn't know if a "paddock pass" was an option or something.

 

[THE Phen]

Yeah. I just looked again. It's $15 for the paddock pass (full entry except hot pits). $25 if you want the full pit pass.

I'd love to run a car in that race. I think it would be crazy fun.

 

[princess peach]

me too, that miara would have been a good option

 

[aMaff]

Chump isn't expensive as far as road racing goes, but it's also not as cheap as it makes it sound. That said? Do it.

 

[Lewis7789]

Maybe next year you guys can pool your monies together and make a car and all share driving duties? I'll help build/maintain it.

 

[THE Phen]

Buy my Protege for it.

And Evan... it doesn't need to be pretty. It's ok to work at my pace on these cars if you were to do that.

 

[princess peach]

^ tree-fitty?

 

[THE Phen]

If you guys would be serious to build a chumpcar out of it, I give you special deal.

 

[princess peach]

I am, has to be $500 or less though

 

[hat1018]

It would be fun. Since it is a year away it would be uber hard to commit to the car/event.

Don't forget to include safety gear for your drivers when budgeting this. Sure you can build a car for a few grand ($500 car, $400+ tires, $1500-2000 cage, another $500-1000 or so of other safety gear depending on what you get), but then everyone needs their driving suit, nomex shoes, gloves, helmet, etc. It adds up quickly.

Hmmm.

 

[princess peach]

yeah, the safety gear gets you. are you allowed to have a radio to talk to the driver?

actual budget for 1 person (without counting the car) is about 5K, at least the first time

BAHAHAHAHAH... I guess he sold it na?

I understand that. We'll talk. Condition is that this car has to be out of my parents driveway, and I'd REALLY prefer not to have it at the house.

 

[princess peach]

that's cool, I can keep it at my place

Hahahhaha.....that's the first thing that popped into my head! I think it is...

Really glad you wouldn't let me (since I offered to do all the work, and you didn't have to lift a finger) swap suspensions back when I wanted to...who knows what kind of problems that would've opened up and prevented the car from being road worthy again for your sister. *rolls eyes* (nuts)

Yes you can. And exactly.
