Do you race a car

[hakhawk]

I kind of meant a race car that’s only for the track with safety gear and roll cage.
A rally car can be driven on the road but still has a roll cage..

Most vehicles will be trailered to a track where you need a fire suite and helmet and be the actual driver with a cams license.

And the word here is YOU not your best mates wifes uncle twin brother

my car will be trailered to every track bar the one 2ks from my house. i will need a cams licence, helmet, but not a firesuit for most hillclimb tracks(as far as i know). no, car wont have a cage, as that will stop me being able to drive it on the road any time i want.

next time, specify in your FIRST post what you want, rather than sooking when people give you dont want.

Sprint car???

yes, thank you. Builds and drives his own Sprint Car at races around Victoria (not sure if he has been outside Victoria)

Yep... been rallying my 5 Lt VB for about 5 years now. Yes... have the CAMS licence and all that stuff. Car is solidly caged, with mini spooled Ford 9 inch. I also am a codriver in the South Australian Rally Championships in a potent Mitsi VR4 with all the goodies. Rally cars are still race cars... mine has a completely adjustable front end, and Holley 650 etc... I trailer it to most events as with all rally cars, there is fair chance it won't be able to be driven home. I have some more info about the car in the "My Ride" section, with a pic or two.

IMost vehicles will be trailered to a track where you need a fire suite and helmet and be the actual driver with a cams license.

The fun of having B-rego here in W.A, it allows cars used for road rallying (like Targa events) to be registered. All my cars have been, it allows movement from home to events or workshop. But the car has to be CAMS logbooked.

Building a VH up at the moment. Hopefully be ready for Targa West next year.

Interesting. No drag racers have posted yet.
I'm building my VT up for Super Sedan and Super Gas classes.
2800 pounds and 1000hp should be good for 8's

[cpbait]

haven't raced, but have helped out in the pits in improved production raceing (was on a volvo, ex workmates car), mate and i are thinking of building a vk race car, next year sometime, when he gets back from overseas and get our cars paid out to start fresh, were going to do it a couple of years ago with a vk, had the car but didn't have the funds to get it up and running, damn apprentice wages.

how much roughly does it cost to get a car like an old commodore vk-vs 5ltr up to scratch to race in like improved production or any other good classes that would suit, i.e, round by round, wheels, tyres and number of sets, fuel for each round, etc.

 

[lone wolf racing]

Yep sure do on the dirt

Man the only place to race is on a track, I am heavily into Dirt circuit and if you need to know what it’s all about follow the string DIRT CIRCUIT OF SA (Powered by Invision Power Board) and have a look at, about your car, section, Lone Wolf Racing. Ill see if I am smart enough and do a post with some pics.
