I say that the winner gets the pick of all the losers cars as his/her prize! How much are you willing to lose?

This thing is fast going from a "Dime Rocket Fantasy" to a "Dime Rocket Acid Trip"!

We do have a few 2 door ECO Cavaliers cars auto and sticks but as I said before how to make time for build. We have done winning dirt cars overnite if we had the cage done. We use to switch stick transmissions in 30 minutes because of gear ratio for different tracks. HHRs also has a different ratio. Tom

I like it..But seeing we won't have a lot of entry money to work with, I'm thinking we should just use donations.
I'll pledge a package of zip ties.. These will be the good, re-usable ones for that last minute pit thrash.
Also, a box of worm gear clamps 1/2" , all the way to 6"
Plus, as a bonus..One sheet of shirt cardboard, some masking tape, and a spray can of paint..your choice of color.
Let's make this really pay!

I don't think we should lower ourselves to just a Wally.
How about MufMan? We'll need a sponsor here

1/4 finals to winner can choose to swap vehicles straight across, or except the 10k

For every competitor who spends under 1K on his/her combo, you get to run on the existing index. For every $500 that you spend over 1K, you lose a tenth of index. Spend 6K? Lose a second of index! Bring your receipts. Now THAT'S a fantasy!

Since we have to social distance why can't we use Time slips from a race track nearby with tech and scales to certify the runs that way this could be a nationwide race. You can also use reaction time on the runs so you can't be asleep at the tree. Tom

Hey Tom, just out of curiosity, how much "time" do you think that I have in the Cavalier? If I started after dinner, I'd probably be in bed by 11:00. I spent more time looking at a laptop screen and trying to figure out what I was doing than I did on the actual car.

Actual working on the car or thinking think what you can do. Gary Stinnett once told me when he worked for WJ he WJ was always thinking even in his sleep how to go faster. How fast do you think WJ would be if he had a stocker? I am sure you do your homework and have fun doing it. Tom

Tom, you're giving me too much credit. I didn't ask the question with malicious intent. I literally brought the car home and raced it in as-is condition. Other than changing the wheels and tires and removing the P/S pump, I've done nothing other than what I (Doug) did with HP Tuners. It was really that easy.
Now I DID want to "play" with an ecotec so I guess that maybe some thought went into that. Trust me, I'm no W.J.! Not even close.
