Be very careful on this one.
Lurk and learn and if you post up on
it you better have facts to back it up.

Chris,Check this out. This little 4 cylinder was built by my engine builder. It races in a nostalgia "stock" type event. This thing makes 250 HP and will go 10,000 RPM (shifts around 8,500). Not only does this thing sound outrageous, but it's the best race scene I've ever watched. He starts in last due to a flat tire in qualifying. Watch the cars he passes. The last one is a Sunbeam Tiger.
Makes drag racing look like such a boor!

He's pretty smooth driving. He was taking the corners much closer than everyone else. What type of car was that?

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

Not to take anything away from the Ginetta driver ( he's giving that thing a pretty good thrash)- but vintage 'racing' isn't really racing. Mostly just old guys with expensive cars (who are mortally afraid of damaging them), cruising around playing race driver. It is fun- but it's not racing.

Still looks like fun tho.

I tried auto-crossing with my 95 GT and it was fun, but the parking lots I raced in were small so I couldn't get up much speed.
But after watching that video, I would love to take a run around a big track like that. :)

Chris,

Yes there is such a forum. It's lateralg.com

One of my chevelle's is being built for such events..by myself, of course.

You can't tell me that wasn't racing, NOBODY wants to finish second. When I think of old guys with expensive cars, I think of NHRA class racers !

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

That is one little bad assed car. I'll bet all those mustang and cobra drivers were scratching their heads after that thing sucked their doors off. Great video. I've got a little Valiant with a 273 4 speed and all updated firm feel suspension, so I know it's a blast. But that little thing would have sucked my doors off too.

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

I've done a few track events and most of the other drivers on course were not the same caliber but it's flat hustlin, you can tell it's a pretty light car the way he can take various lines easily. Pretty cool. Borninamopar, you need to make that Valiant a "brick" like the one that gained so much ink, including the One Lap race.

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

That Ginetta has been through tear down more than most of us S/SS racers!
It has gone from it's "natural" class up two; which is where it is now against the cars you see in the video.

Here's a forum for SCCA racers

Mine is a 64 2 dr sedan 273 with a 4speed 83/4. It has a nice suspension under it. I ran the road course at NPR a couple of times for the heck of it: I had it hung out a few times, but it will usually stick. I build it up to be a "sports car". Believe it or not, out of all the Mopars I have, it is one of my favorites to drive. Yea, they did a good job with the "Brick".

Jeff Lee, with all due respect......the term "my engine builder" is as gay as being "gay enough" to win a championship in a "gay softball league" in the city and district of San Fran...Stock ELIMINATOR is a group of individuals who do it themselves....but,.it's your personal preference and I'm not saying anything is wrong with it , so go with it...if the shoe fits....wear it Jeff! Wear the hell out of it. You go girl!

Chris Hill give me a call, we need to talk buisness....Non west Hollywood...

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

WWW.lateralg.com is where It's at....get a clue..:p

And www.Aedcentral.com is where its at....Period! Enough said!

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

Who asked your opinion?
You have no idea how many cars I've built or how many engines I've built from top to bottom. The ones I have built on my own have set National records, have been #1 qualifier, I don't think I can say that about you.
If you had a family with 4 kids and worked your *** off every day, you might be able to afford to pay somebody yourself after years of doing it all on your own. Then you to could have time with your family, if you even have time to get away from your GAY publications to think about conceiving a child. But then again as an expert GAY consultant, you probably know more about surrogate pregnancies for GAY couples.
Hey, if you are GAY, there's nothing wrong with it. Just put down your GAY reference manual long enough to come out of the closet.
By the way, what is it your sniffing inside of that mask?

Re: Stock or SS for road course racing???
 

To answer the original question, yes there are several forums for road racing stock and SS that are similar to this forum.

http://www.sccaforums.com/forums

It has more activity than the http://www.sccabb.com/ previously mentioned.

Sumbeam Tiger had a 260 v8. Sunbeam Alpine had a 2 carb 4 cyl engine. I had an original Alpine. I could get 4th gear scratch. Very unreliable car.
