Topic: Got the Go-ahead from HQ for my IoE idea

Now I need teammates

Yes I have a terrible idea.
Yes it will win. Most likely I Got Screwed (by my team captain), but if it manages over half the time on track it would be hard pressed to beat for IoE.
No I do not have the money to pull this off until someone buys my Integra parts.
No I will not tell you what it is but I will tell you the motor will not come from a car, and it will have to pass safety with a different sanctioning race association before Lemons will even look at it.

Curiosity killing you yet? I'll let you know if you join the team.

This is perplexing.  What would be the most likely way the car would kill you.

Re: Got the Go-ahead from HQ for my IoE idea

definitely refueling: that fuel cell will kill me. Maybe the brakes will fail from trying to stop x3 its origional weight.

Scratch all that. My HOA will skin me alive when the donor motor shows up.

6-row M503 diesel radial from Osa-class missile boat, or an aircooled tank motor?

I wish I was closer, this sounds like fun.

Re: Got the Go-ahead from HQ for my IoE idea

I was hoping for nuclear, but radiation wasn't on the death list.  Steam would have been interesting but scalding water wasn't a likely death either.

NTPA? ASA? MTRA? APBA? IHBA? Are any of those even the right sport?
Or is it just some exotic NHRA classification?

You have piqued my interest...  I am a fan of terrible ideas.

Re: Got the Go-ahead from HQ for my IoE idea

I'm definitely curious now. Not much that has popped up on here has made me this curious before. =P Or want to actually post until I could get a team going. Well done on the suspension building here.

What part of Texas is your team located? Are you just looking for help with funding, or actual full fledged team mates to help with wrenching and what-not?

Deal.

Possibly an electric, given the added weight. I considered it, and realized I don't know enough about electric vehicles to bother.
