Topic: Looking to race the next event!
I have found 4 other people as dumb as myself to dump what little money we have into a crap bucket of a car and do the next one of these races that is most local to us (Florida). The only thing that I am worried about is having my car taken and crushed, bought unwillingly, or banned because someone thinks I was cheating...even though I was not.
I have been building budget drag racing cars for a while. I know how to build a fast car for $500 or less. So if my car performs REALLY well, how can I go about proving I am just good at being cheap? I am far from a cheater and look down on those who do. But I am highly competitive and always strive to win. Even in something as ridiculous as this...lol
I already have a car I was planning on building as my next cheap-o drag project. I bought the car for $500, sold the carb for $300, put another better carb set-up on it for $100. Making it a $300 total car as it sits. But I found an amazing deal. Similar ones typically go for $1500 with the upgrades mine has. So I do not want to get penalized for hunting down a good deal and attending swap meets and constantly hunting on craigslist/eBay for the best of deals.
Any ideas on how to enter my car without being falsely called a cheater?
