Well we have been building on this thing for over a year and decided to post a build thread so y'all could see what we got and where we are going. I have learned quite alot for this forum and thank all of you for contributing to my education. I have always dreamed of having/building some sort of race car and particapating in said activity but poor dicisions as a youth and life in greneral kept me pointing in the wrong direction.
After a couple of attempts at marriage
and 10 yrs. in a rock band+a day job my two true loves came together. Amy and LSR. As we have no children we have the time to travel around and experiance life and the this great country.With that being said, on one weekend about 6yrs ago I started looking the internet for something to do or somewhere to go and I came across the ECTA at Maxton. As I was interested in Landspeed racing since I was a kid I suggested to Amy that we go and check it out.
Amy is from Buffalo,NY, so showing her around my home state of NC was a good thing. So off to Maxton we go. I think it took me about 3 nano seconds to decide that this is something I wanted/needed to take part in. Although I didn't realize it at the time Amy got the bug as well. We spent a saturday at the monster mile and when I convinced Amy that it was time to head home I soon realize that she was quite mad. She didn't want to leave! I have created a monster and a race partner, thats cool.
We got a rule book,joined the ECTA and it was on. We started our learning curve running her stock "Little Red Kia", and thats right SHE is the driver. My time will come.
The Kia got killed by a Silverado and the "real" race car build would begin...
Here is what we started with, '91 Camaro Rs street thing that some guy ran in a local club of some sort.
