Let the games begin - Who wants the NSF K Car? (Page 2 of 20)

I'll take my truck and an empty trailer to CMP with me if it needs to go North to Baltimore/Washington/Philly/Pittsburgh to make a connection. My travel partner will be hugely distressed, but this is IMPORTANT!

I'd take it, but I wouldn't be able to use it until Summit.

just remember kids, nothing says thank you like dollar bills in the waistband.

It's completely stock and street legal.  It had A/C before Ron got his grubby mittens on it.  The rear suspension is chained and welded but bolt cutters could fix that.

Who's going to step and commit to taking it?   I still have the stock seat(s) and will include them for long road trips.

The girls are going to win class C at CMP because they will just turn laps in it and not blow it up.

This was something along the lines I was thinking of.  The K-car racecar will not do all the 24HoL races, but it could wind it's way back up to several east coast races, head midwest, go south and then head west.

EyeMWing, would you be willing to pick up the Parnelli Jones Galaxie and get it down to CMP?  That would be your K-forward!

The best way to do this would be to go east to west, finishing at Buttonwillow, Thunderhill, or Chuckwalla. That way the car can have the tour of each region.

Now if Judge Phil can get "Special K" from Denver to the track,
I could get "Special K" from CMP to St. Louis
Then all we need is someone to get it from St. Louis to Denver ~12 hrs drive

I've been thing about transportation.
If you are driving a car, you have to have insurance.
If you are towing a car, the towing car's insurance covers the "being towed" car
So why don't we scrounge up a tow bar if the car is a manual transmission
Or a tow dolly, if the car is an automatic
I think this would make "Special K" far easier to move around

If Tsog or Eyewing can bring it up north from CMP my team of complete noobs (besides myself) would run it at Monticello.  Even if they only got it to the Baltimore/Harrisburg region, that would save me about 14 hours of going to CMP and back.

What tires does it have on?  I would expect to send some new sneakers with it to the next team.

So, Judge Phil, you're saying you might explore "Special K''s horsepower and aerodynamic limits while your waiting around the BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS for the next transport crew to arrive

Or a transmission or engine, how is that going to work with a tight schedule?

new meaning to the phrase "bringin home the bacon"

monticello to gingermann is relatively easy transport for me, working on it not so much. I won't be able to take it home after gingermann though, since le mopar will probably be back on the trailer for the trip home.

It'd be easier for me to drive straight home to NW PA after CMP, and either deliver, meet 1/2 way (denny's beer barrel pub?), or let you pickup at your convenience. I am approx 200 miles from shiptown fyi.

out of curiousity, how much does this rig weigh?
also, is there room on the all girls team for "strange man in skirt, with offensively large... bacon pile"

I like the idea of working it's way west vs going back and forth.   The last thing we want is for a team to get it out west and miss the East/South races.   But remember, this is a giveaway and the team that gets it should try to make arrangements to give it away prior to taking ownership.   

It's like a chain letter, that leaks oil.

How about who ever gets stuck with, I mean who ever the last owner is should take it to the scrap yard and donate the proceeds to http://www.alexslemonade.org/ , or some other worthwhile cause.

Let's give this a try.  My hope is that it'll have a 440/727 in it for the season ender.
