Ok,
I am trying to fine tune things and answer some questions. It seems we have a third driver back in. Dave Marsic has said his company will pay the entry for the car. $500.00
Marshall (jeep dude) most of you know is thinking about getting in but is on the fence as well.
You will definitely need a helmet (to there specs) I ordered a G-Force helmet on ebay for $106.00. Nice light helmet.
You will need your own fire shoes and gloves
This may be a little weird but I am willing to buy a fire suit and share it. Share the suit not the cost. I need a suit for mud racing this summer anyway. I want a 2 piece so I can take the coat off when in the pits. The suites need to be a dual layer nomex and I think I can get one for $150.00. The jacket and the pants are sold separately so if you wanted to get your own pants and share a jacket that would work. I do not mind sharing the whole suit---I will have pants or shorts underneath-- not naked.:rubeyes:
There is a hot rod / racing expo at the fair grounds here this weekend so I should be able to get a deal on some safety stuff.
We have all the tires and wheels we need already so there is no cost there. If we run out so be it. This is budget racing.
Fuel should not be a big deal for this 4 cylinder
Yes it is a 5 speed.
I think we will change the timing chain and the water pump. No cost to drivers
I think we need everyone willing to come and help. It should be a blast and another way for our bronco bros to share special time.
Motor home would be so nice but if it is too much to bring don't do it. I think I will be towning Neals enclosed trailer and it is perfect for cots and has a cab over and mattress, no cable tv or ac
More to come
