I've raced down a Mid Ohio sports car course ... It's a 2.4 mile road course ... They have a triple crown tuner challange every year ...
It's a judged car show, a sound competition, and a speed portion ... They average all three scores and the highest total wins ...Iwon this year !!!!

Nice, BV. I'm jealous. Our track's closed and only have a crappy stadium parking lot to drive around on.
Avengers do look good going around corners!

Default RE: is any one actually racing?

thanks all for your input.....ok as ive said before...im gettin rdy to build a motor for my veng(after i get done with the wifes damm stealth..lol)..is the 2.2 stroker motor really a viable way to go?...ive seen several on another forum(ahem)..that ppl have blown..not sure if it was out of stupidity or what..but i am concerned about puttin about 6 grand into a motor that may go **** up on me at any moment..this will be used only for daily driving and autocross occasional road racing(not street racing)..am planning on using the 8.6 or w/e comp. pistons so i can boost fairly well..also can anyone reccomend a tranny..(5 speed)..with LSD that would be a viable counterpart to such a task?

PS also any highflow heads out there on the market that anyone knows of?
