Figured its time to knock off the rust and get racing! Little status report on BigSpeed Racing. Got a new used eBay special Class C RV on the Ford E450 super duty chassis with the Triton V10 - the little Class A with the 454 was not up to the task and was sold after one trip so hopefully this Ford will have the grunt - so far it seems to pull awesome. Scored for $8000 and $1300 to get it delivered to NJ - long winter of shopping to find the right rig and price. 107K miles and feels very tight, interior is very nice. Come over for a beer!
New Hankook tires - $738 delivered - tell that's not a smoking deal? That's for the Ventus 214 C71 autocross tire-fast but short life
New Hawk HT10 141s.650 pads - off ebay for $165 - retailing over $200 + shipping another good buy
Home repairs on the bodywork for some savings but I did go all out for Powertech to nut and bolt the whole car for safety - worth it every time.
Yes, the theme here is to save enough money to actually race!!!
The first event will be Summit Point. I'm going to focus on the North East Division Regional Series but it seems a little thrown together and I'd really appreciate some feedback on what folks think. Saw a few posts but not much. I want to confirm that this is THE regional championship to chase...Pro IT is the top dog otherwise. (DA and Terry - I will do a few - don't count me out)
So what's the score on NEDiv Regional Series - everybody going after that or nobody cares cause it's new?
