Mine too, (actually I don't want to BUILD it, i just want pay for it and then to DRIVE it), though i've heard that Chump Car (now Champ Car I think) has a similar low budget approach but the races are a little more "serious" with (maybe?) less cheating & bribing, ha ha.

I'm in Atlanta, I'm a pretty solid driver with lots of karting experience and tend to be top in class in karting and have been through all the skip barber schools and many track days, i've never had an off or spin in full size cars (knock on wood). Totally up for a Lemons / Chump Car team but i don't have the time to wrench but i do have some spare $ to make up for not being able to maintain the vehicle. And i have an excellent place for a small garage.

I know its all for fun but i really hate that a team can get huge advantages in what's supposed to be a budget race by throwing money here and there.

@jfbeam 6 лет назад

"Just throw money at it" is the recipe for something that blows up within hours. We (Team Duff) used to do that -- 140whp Honda D16... it'll last 2-4 hours before you need another one. We stopped that shit years ago, to instead spend money on hookers and blow, err, RVs and beer. Just ask Team SOB how much of a winning combination a VW Golf/GTI is. (hint: they've finished _second_ more times than anyone in Lemons history. They've one twice in their new E30.)

@rmcdaniels 5 лет назад

@@aliceshaw8265 Costs vary based car, prep level, and how much you wrench yourself. The car may be $500, but a race cage, suit, fire suppression system, tires, brakes, etc. will be be at least $4K. Add radios, fancy fuel jugs, hotel accommodations, and you could easily balloon to $10K. However the car, helmet, and suits should be a one time cost and last a few races. You can also sign up and join and existing team. Expect to pay $1K-$2K for a weekend.

@rmcdaniels 5 лет назад
