Have you guys looked at the GRM forums http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/ ? They have lots of low-buck cars and parts folks are offering for the $200X Challenge.

[dpeele95]

This would be nice.

Miata's keep getting people's cursed. I dont want that at all. The other wouldn't be bad if it were not 1000 miles away, lol. There is a 500 or less dollar car right here and I'm gonna find it!

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier ...

I just spoke to my dad and he said he might have a old Nissan or a Taurus Wagon that runs. Paperwork would be the question. Since these are usually abandoned vehicles, there would be no title. Do we have to use titled vehicles?

Either way, he's going to see what he has and get back to me.

[dpeele95]

No it doesn't have to have a title.

If you want a Miata AlanB owns two that could be put together to make a roller. One has a Spec Miata cage in it I think. I call dibbs on the delrin bushings before you guys hack them up.

[Jedi1]

Love the idea of the spec cage, dont love the idea of them deciding that is the vehicle they want to crush.

If it werent for that rule, it would be awesome.

[dpeele95]

If we look slow and act like we don't really know whats going on i bet we can get by without being crushed.

[Cholewa]

Or they'll just think we're trying too hard to fool them and crush us anyway? Or inflict massive penalties.

[dpeele95]

you always think negative. they won't crush us if we are slower than another miata.

[Jedi1]

Hmm, I don't want to be slow, lol. I'm going to go look at a couple salvage cars tomorrow that supposedly run. We shall see.

[dpeele95]

we just have to be slower the first half of the race than we can magically start to pass everybody.

[TouringBubble]

From what I saw in a video yesterday ... in the race we are considering, they crush at noon of day 2 ... or at least morning of day 2.

Talked to Dad today. First possible car is a mid to late 90's Mazda Protege. My dad did work on it, but the title has been pawned and the guy doesn't want the car back. $300 buys the title.

He's also got a couple of Hondas and some late 80's/early 90's big-body domestics too. More info to come.
