Nothing wrong with a Cavalier. Gut the interior, cage it and race. **** will start sorting itself out in after a few races.
And dont take this as me pushing my accomplished for sale racecar on ya.
So there you are, you guys have taken off work, you've got hotels, you've trailered to the track, sometimes a half day to full day drive each way. Only to run 30 minutes and then spend 14 hours wrenching. We've literally watched team after team, show up and nearly immediately wrench all weekend to just get back out for the parade lap. Dont get me wrong Lemons actually celebrates those guys with "I got Screwed" and the IOE" trophys. but I prefer to be putting down laps, and passes for my return on money spent.
Now back to our efforts, theres an offroader on the West Coast that Lemons races, Matt Adair. I know Matt from KOH, so when we decided to follow in his footsteps and build a cherokee, we called and talked to Matt. He had 11 races under his belt at that point, and shared every bit of knowledge he had gleamed through trial and error over 11 events. We were so far ahead we didnt know what to do. Our car was a contender at the 1st race, but as drivers we were no where close. We got there quickly though.
I dont know anyone out there making Cavaliers fast/contendors for you to leverage off their learning curve. If I was starting from scratch I'd get a BMW. and hence thats what I just did. Got myself an e46 with a summerengine. But I'm going to be over the Lemons budget, I just wanna go a lot faster at this point.
