Topic: home-made performance parts?
So some buddies and I are considering entering in the 2011 season. We’re starting our planning now, since it will take that long to put a plan in action. My question is how do the judges react to home-made “go faster” parts. I’m referring to things like home-made strut braces from left over square tubing and steel plate. Or a wing made from pink foam and some of the 50 feet of fiberglass fabric my friend has. Front splitters made from aluminum and plywood. I was thinking things like this would be perfectly in the spirit of Lemons, but I’ve been wrong before. Just curious what the overall thought on home-made performance parts is.
We’ve got a car, actually bought it a couple of years ago as a project that never happened. And we have a great plan for a Franken-build with the engine we want to use, and a theme to go with it. I’ve been reading the forums, and it sounds like a great time. I’ll have to come to the north east event this year as a spectator. Hell, I’ll be pit crew for anyone that wants help.
