hahahaha, well if you plan on banging, then you should probably build your own car. Most rental places make you return the car to its original condition including any cosmetic damages. and that can get really expensive if you get into the quarter panel or trunk.

+1. If you want to go banging, bring LOTS of cash.

Im bored..so I figured i'd post a pic of the team I work fors car..


We might not go fast but at least we look good lol.

Haven't heard back yet when our first race will be..
They own a car dealership so I know it's hard times for them in the car business.

look familiar?

[RedEj8]

Haha indeed it does! You work for West? Just IMSA?

that pic was from my time at Downing.
and yeah, we build the sports racers that run IMSA Lites 2. We also do trackside service for IMSA races and also SCCA, Porsche Club and whatever events our customers want to run, even trackdays.
I used to do a lot of flyout work too. I will probably still do some, but not near as much.

i think this applies to all racing. crashing is the most expensive part of racing, and to be at the front, its not easy to always keep the car in one peice.

um, yea it is, if your good. There are plenty of racers out there that keep it clean and run at the front.
and crashing is not the most expensive part of racing. in fact, sometimes, the actual price of the car(not including the costs of R&D, just the worth of the sum of all the parts) is hardly a consideration when you think about how much it costs to run a true professional team correctly. logistics, crew, equipment.
what you are saying only holds true to amateur level racing with a entry level car, or if you have a shitty driver.
