heh, did a bit of research (my GRM gets sent to my house so I don't get to keep up with it much).
3 categories: car show, autoX, drag
just by actually being able to compete will get you to do better than a lot, since people will inevitably break shit.
Friday is unlimited runs at the drag strip
Saturday is 5 runs at the autoX.
can get judged at the concours either day.
my impression is that the 240 has a good bit of potential for the autoX, and with 210hp in a 2400 lb chassis, it won't be too slow in the drag. The interior is gonna get some sprucing up pretty soon too, so it won't do horribly at the car show from what I can tell.
I can pretty much do anything I want to the car, and can resell stuff to make up to an additional $1002 to spend. Therefore, selling parts off this and the wrecked car can make me up to another grand, leaving me a total of $3007 to play with. I'm pretty sure that I could meet my goals with that much money.
Can use slicks at the drag strip, but have to use road tires at the autoX (used azenis anyone?)
Sounds like a good time. I'd have no problem painting some MMs on the car to represent us down thar.
