Our entry description.
So we have 6 races under our belt (2 of which we broke 1 we black flagged out of) 1 IOE, and 2 cars build, so you could say we got this bitch on lockdown!!! Our cars are the Gremlin and sport about so obviously we are sick and twisted AMC fans. You announced a race with Amc Spirit in the title that is only 37 hours from us so we have to go, but we don’t actually have a Spirit. Our plan which could not fail, is to find a Spirit between now and October drive or tow it to Seattle (probably picking it up on the way). Bend a cage based on the Gremlins dimensions which are the same as the Spirit and weld it in track side Thursday night, and use our cornucopia of super cheaty amc parts and dominate Saturday and Sunday. I see nothing that could possibly go wrong!!
We are a Texas based team but have a member in New Mexico and Northern California, so a car anywhere in between would work. Our hope is to find something that is a driver or sorts. Throw a cage, seat, belts, kill switch, fire extinguisher, and tow points in track side, change some consumables like fluids and pads, add a tranny cooler if automatic (ugh), and win. Time to start perusing Craigslist and Facebook.
The big challenges we see besides the obvious are we had to pick a race at a track with very few amenities and very questionable weather. So thewelder and other tools will all have to be run off a generator and some kind of shelter may have to be acquired.
