I did about 30 from Tucson to chandler. I will say tho a couple time you couldn't see 10 feet in front of your car.

 

Yah I didn't leave the living room/couch today.

 

SCCA -Secret Car Club of America


My family was heavily involved with SCCA through the 80s and 90s. We completely left the organisation in 97 when the politics was no longer bearable. Even the runoffs became a drag. Always loved working the races. Led to lots of connections. Everyone in my family at some point traveled and was paid to work for NASCAR or FIA or IMSA or CART. Those are the major ones.

NASA and the 24lemons are the ways to have fun these days.

 

Our friends are involved with 24lemons and it sounds like a blast from what they tell us.

 

So who wants to put together a 24lemons team?

 

Hey folks - just moved to a house with a flagpole. I want to put old glory up but want a no b.s. durable flag - I google "durable US flag" and get a ton of garbage. Any suggestions?

 

It would probably be hard to find one of those for $500 that is running..

 

What about something like this?

Said the tranny is going. Definitely on the right track though! Just need my money tree to sprout and I would be so down to do one of these races.

 

We rolled a prelude in high school jumping train tracks. I'm still here, it has my stamp of approval on safety.

 

Yeah what he said. Maybe we can get an AZTW team put together? I would chip in. Could be fun.

Looks like it is $500 TOTAL. Some safety stuff is exempt like wind shields, cages, fuel lines, ball joints, etc.

Section 4 for price info. @tcBob What are the chances of TW sponsoring a TW 24lemons team??!!

A us flag has a guaranteed life of 90days if I remember correctly. Valley forge makes a decent flag. I've had good luck with them. Of course, they have various types and qualities.

 

Looking into lemons previously, it's about a 2-3k investment from each crew member after the safety equipment and travel and spare parts etc. are covered for a ~6 person team

 

aaaannddd I'm out. Too broke for that to happen anytime soon!

 

That's why me and my brother haven't seriously persued this. The cost can be brought done with certain amounts of "in-house" knowledge but the cost of fire suits, helmets, fire systems and tyres are pretty well set. Fabricating a roll cage and cobbling together a rolling chassis is the cheap part.

 

I like the idea of a TW sponsored team. We could get others involved too.
