Anyone ever done one of these or gone to one. Myself and 4 other guys have gotten accepted into the NH race. We are building a 1964 Studebaker Daytona.

No experience. These races sound like serious fun.
Keep us posted.

I know I'm right....
if you want to win, get a ratted out Rx7. If you want to finish....? Lots of <15 year old cars around here with blown head gaskets for under 500. Labor is just way too much to fix stuff nowadays. Would love to go see one.
I just read through some of the rules, they are hilarious. Keep us posted on the build.
I have been lemon's racing for 2 years now. 1st. the people who run the race love unusual cars, which would be your Daytona (great chance to get a cash award for that)
Brakes, brakes and suspension are the key. Horsepower only does so much for handling. Which is why there are three classes; A. (horsepower and handling), B. less than A class. C. fun slow cars (supposedly)
Everybody cheats. Less than 1% of cars cost $500 and that is only for the first race. All safety equipment (brakes, tires etc) doesn't count towards the $500
Bring documentation for the inspection (safety and bs) that will help. If your car is really over the rules, bring a bribe or take the laps
It is a blast - an for the amount of track time way cheaper than one of those racing schools
Pictures from the last months race at Thunderhill. 5.1 mile track in the 95-100 degree heat. Good times
