PAYMENTS

Hey guys, so do you want to make a payment for your entry fees for the race? But you really dont want to go to the chumpcar site and figure out how to do it? Totaly understand! You can just pay pal me the payment to cruelaswinter@gmail.com ( along with a note please ie: licence fee of drivers fee ect..) this way I can keep track of what still needs to be taken care of. Also, Did you know building a race car cost money? If at any point you would like to help with build cost that would be much appreiciated also.

SMOKEY AND THE DATSUN

I belive this car is the long lost japanese cousine of the infamouse Bandit Trans Am,
black gold trim, check
t- tops, check
snow flake wheels,check
Badass behind the wheel? check x5

Anyways this is the new addition to the stable, we are guna be turning some wrench on it starting on the 23rd if anyone one wants to come lend a hand.

RACE TEAM?

Talks are in the works with a certain Midwest based racing team to form a partnership. BS-Racing (Brian Steffen)  is Preping a car for the 2011 season also. It may be fun to do up the cars in the same paint scheme and represent a consolidated effort! Plus we get a discount if 2 or more members race in multiple races. This might mean changing the team name to reflect the new partnership. More on this as it develops

oh and on a un related note Japan is now making Gundams,  I guess its not totally unrelated, cause when japan takes over the world we will all be in Nissans,Toyotas and Hondas!

SO IT BEGINS

I know the Blog has been a little slow but think of it as the calm before the storm. There is one big update We have recently accuired a 3rd 280zx, this one is a Turbo so we will be harvesting some real treasures for the build! Plus it has alot of parts that can be sold to fund the build. The previous owner of the car said all this engine needs is a new distributor and it should roll, well we will see but either way we can use it. Pictures will be posted this weekend.

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.
