Howdy folks... Just staking this little piece of internet as a placeholder for a coming build thread. My partner and I initially purchased an S-10 (Leatherneck Express build thread a few pages back) to enter into land speed racing. We reached a point where our fancy new Ultra Shield full-containment seat with Bonneville halo wouldn't sit where we wanted it to without interfering with the existing roll cage. After a little thought and discussion we came to the conclusion that if we're talking cage work (or whole new cage even), let's look at other platforms to build on. We weren't so far into the S-10 to be committed to it... Enter the '93 Trans Am roller (clean car with no t-top). Purchased dirt cheap from a Facebook posting, all there (save for engine and trans... perfect!). That's mostly where it stands currently.
The plan for the near future is to gut the interior, have a cage installed, get all the other safety goodies, and get the dang thing running and able to go racing (competitive or not)! We'll worry about turning the heat up later... for now, our engine, trans, and fancy seat need a home. We're ultimately looking to run in the Modified Gas Coupe or Altered category. So my first question... Who all do I need to include in an e-mail to open a dialog with tech about our plans and whatnot? Christmas bonus is roll cage money so I'd like to get some clarification before we go talk to the shop.
