To tempt you with what is possible:
This is a Camero [sic]
THIS is the same Camero [sic] and how it was raced for quite some time before becoming what you see above.
The team proved themselves to be excellent fabricators, got a good reputation with the series organizers, and involved John Pagel with their build every step of the way.
This is a BMW Z3
This is the same BMW Z3
The team proved themselves to be excellent Lemons participants who "Get it" and paid their dues by racing a dodge daytona in multiple events and got a good reputation with the series organizers, and then switched to the Z3, raced it as a Z3 at first, and then involved John Pagel with their build transformation plans and came up with the AMX body for it.
Seeing a pattern here?
This is an Austin Mini Moke.
This is the very same Mini Moke
The team proved themselves to be issue-prone, always late for tech, constantly forgetting to bring their transponder necessitating their groveling for a late-substitute from Roland, and generally earning the eyerolls and ire of the series organizers, officials, staff, and hangers on. Each time it showed up to a race, the team running it was subjected to a litany of threats at tech inspection and warnings of "imminent death" always being a part of the discussion. Fellow competitors even doled out the phrase "You got Moked" to cars that got stuck behind it on track at the most inopportune moments. It may hold the record for the "most entry fees paid for the least laps turned", which may be the only reason it was ever allowed on track-- It was a clear cash grab by the organizers knowing full well it would never turn enough laps on track over a weekend to be much of a hazard on the racing surface.
Don't build "a Moke".
(In all honesty, the Moke is something that Jay Lamm himself has said is one of the cars that makes him lose sleep at night and he reserves the right to pull it off the track at any time and for any reason with zero refunds. It is more or less retired from competition)
