Chiming in here:

If you're looking to dip your toe in the water, get involved with a Lemons or Chump forum - sometimes teams are looking for an extra driver or two willing to split costs. A couple friends and I did a 10 hour race at The Ridge Motorsports Park a couple summer's ago.

I paid $460 or so (plus a bit more to buy some required safety gear - my friend managed to borrow all his stuff). For one of the greatest days of hooligan tomfoolery in recent memory. We raced the shittiest '76 Chevette in existence against almost 60 other cars on one of the great new tracks in the PNW. We laughed, we cried, we blew head gaskets, we helped the team next to use re-time their AW11 MR2, we raced at night with barely functioning headlights on an unlit track.

IT. WAS. AWESOME.

That was pretty much my plan if nothing materializes here in the next year or so.

I just think it would be awesome to get a whole team of 86 owners out there!

Bump!

We could race a Mustang

A 4 cylinder 86HP (lol) mustang that is...

Or how about a 5L V8 that puts out an mind blowing 205HP?

Pass on the stang.

Decay107 · 02-06-2015, 04:38 PM

But it's a Mustang, so it's got to be at least as fast as an FR-S... right?

You don't need a car. Talk to Bill at Oregon Raceway Park. He has 5 or 6 chump cars and is always looking for drivers. 541-333-2452
Also I think Wryann at VIP Performance in Portland has one, give him a call. 503-257-1110
