YES!

Based on what we saw last night at OCS, if a car had it's nose under the car in front and the car came down he got spun out.

I wish OCS was closer. It was a lot of fun.

Yeah, they race friday nights. It's fun to go watch for sure.


I'm thinking about buying/building a car to run in the UCAR series (U Can Afford Racing)- anyone want in???????


Needs to be a 4 cyl front wheel drive car made after ~1980 I think. Looks like it could be tons of fun. They even ran a race at VIR on Sunday afternoon after the Chumpcar race a couple of months ago.

would our lemons integra be eligible?

Was going to ask the same about our LeMons Civic.

I suggest you read everything carefully- the entertainment value alone is worth the time it takes to read this stuff........

Passenger door bars are probably gonna be the biggest hurdle.
1. 6-point roll cage with a recommended 4 door bars on left side and 3 bars on right side. May remove inner structure on doors to accommodate cage ONLY. All roll bars must be 1-3.4" x .090" wall seamless steel tubing. Roll bars must be welded to a minimum 3"x3"x1/4" thick plate and secured SAFELY to the floor pan. A .20 gage drivers door plate must be on 3 bars of the drivers side roll cage. The plate must go from the front of the drivers door to the back end of the drivers door. Cage installation MUST be approved by the Walls Roofing UCAR Clash officials.

The rules are written like they are REALLY scared of Ecotec motors.

BTW- I know a THSCC member that lives close to the track and is secretly interested in building one of these cars.

I built and raced a (pure stock 4 cyl" BMW 320i at Wake Co Speedway for several years and unless things have changed a bunch, the "tech" and "safety" inspections should be a breeze. I showed up at the track the first night of the season ready to be run through tech + safety inspection, but all I got was a cursory glance at the car, then he asked me "did ya build this yerself?" to which I said yes- then he said- "well, ya done a nice job on that cage".

They aren't real big on inspections, unless they think you're cheating your a$$ off, or one of your competitors thinks your cheating, you might run into some trouble.


Just add some door bars and go out there- there is no real application process, you pay your money to get in the pits and you're good to go. It took me 3 weeks to realize that everyone that races gets paid!!! It used to cost me $15 to get in the pits (which allowed me to race) and I finished back-of-the-pack in the first few races, which paid me $10, so it cost me $5 to race out there!! Hell, they didn't even require Nomex or even gloves until the last year or two I was out there.


I seriously want to get a car ready and run UCAR.

I'd take the 320i back out there, but it's RWD so it won't be legal for UCAR, and it gets slaughtered in "Pure stock 4 cyl" class by tube frame cars with $20k engines. Sort of took the fun out of it for me.

I split the UCAR chat from the Lemons thread. Seems like this would be a thread others might be interested in but not click on the Lemons thread.
