This is just something funny I came across while thumbing through the official Chump blog

Its from John the head organizer of chump car, this is his response after a million complaints from people saying 240sx's and Miatas should not be considered 500$ cars

UPDATE

Sorry for no updates but there has not been anything major to report. Other than a very large stack of parts in the garage and a wife that thinks I need to go to a 12 step program for people obsessed with cars. The reason we are still on hold to start the build is because the Jive5 (The corolla) is still in bucks drive way and we cant start a new project till we finish that one! But the wheels are finally in motion to get that wrapped up, Naz is welding up the intake, the ecu is getting chipped and the exhaust flange is in the mail. I will just need a few days to assemble every thing and it should be road worthy... once every thing arrives. Plus its cold and it gets dark early so Iam kinda getting lazy.
      Also check with me before you buy a helmet, i might have one for you, I have been buying them on ebay every time i see one for under 100 cause I figured not everyone has as  much time to hunt down deals as I do. And I have also put down the deposit for the race so our spot in Spokane is secured, which is good cause its one of the only 24 hour races on the west coast and is expected to sell out.

RACE UPDATE

So the latest news is that as of a few days ago the Chumpcar guys got so many complaints about the too 7 hour enduros they changed it to a proper 24 hour race! Also the official title of the race is "The Long and Winding Road...", not the most epic title but who cares. I am currently puting together a turn by turn track map, yeah I know its over kill but since i cant get to work on the car yet its all I can do! well that and buy parts but Iam running out of parts to buy.

Chump Car Spokane County Raceway 2010 Practice

Here is some spy footage, watch,study it and watch it again cause this is guna be the only practice we get till the day of the race. If you know what corner is coming up next you will be able to drive faster with more confidence.

THE SCHEDULE!!!

We now know the date of the race, July 23-24, and it will be too 7 hour enduros instead of one 24. I was excited for a 24 but this will probably be better for our first race. We will have plenty of time to fix any problems that should a rise during the overnight brake. Both enduros are run during the day so we wont need headlight!?

SEAT

We found the a suprise under the carport this weekend, the seat got droped off !

Its super comfortable and the 10degree lay back seems to be better than I thought, It should make good driver position.
