Would be nice for a mod to come in here and delete a lot of this garbage "it's not a racecar" posts.

I think it's a great story that she managed to find the car, and I'm looking forward to updates.

Nice to see this car! Seen it on IG and was waiting to see what you do to it.

I was hoping Coyote swap :-D

I raced it? Geez you people are so damn literal. That said, it's probably seen more actual track time than most cars on this site. Road course, autocross, drag strip, etc. Didn't care, I ran it. It's the first car I raced = my first racecar. Moving on.

Thumbs up

WTF did I miss? Damn it guys let me read it first before you clean it up LOL

Hey new guy. That's a official Texas license plate...

It is the original state issued Texas plate I ran on this car most of the time I owned it:

P1012177-XL.jpg


Texas plates are printed, not stamped. That said, this plate is currently registered to some stupid lady in San Antonio on her hybrid Corolla, and I am patiently waiting till March in the hopes that she fails to renew it. I threw it on the car for that picture, for nostalgia's sake. I will run this plate again when I can secure it from the state.

As for my candid use of the shocking word "racecar." When I am done, this car will be what they call "full retard." It will be trailered, it will be raced, and it will rarely see street usage. Can we drop this already, please?

I don't understand why everyone brings race into it.

Also, find said lady in San Antonio....slash her tires or throat and aquire tags.

(I had a good pun where I said slash her tires / throat... het it... / slash.... shoulda used it.. ****)

I wonder how many people calling foul on "racecar" have actually ever driven anything on a racing surface of any sort. I'm thinking it's a number near zero.

I vote for returning close to stock, adding safety equipment/cage and come run CMC with us.:rockon: Texas region has a really good car count.:burnout: Nothing's funner than a standing start followed by the chaos coming into the first turn.

Very unlikely. 1, I don't want to wreck this one. 2, I actually want it to be fast. lol

If I were to consider CMC or another racing league, I'd buy a prepped car...much much better use of money.
