urfsin Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Ok, I just got my new issue of Car and Driver and there is a 24 hour Beater race here in Cali. You have to have a car that was bought for less than $500. I think some of the So Cal subi boys should get together and do this next year. I know we could scratch enough coin toghther and buy some old beater subi and race the hell out of it. It would be a blast, literally. :lol: Who would be in for something like this?

Boostjunkie Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I saw another account of the "race" in another mag, I think Grassroots Motorsports. It was even funnier than the story in Car and Driver I was thinking my old Merkur XR4Ti would be fun for the race, but I don't think I could bring myself to bash it up like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniStiGuy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I say we all do it and make our own cars *Spray paint and all* OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 do "sponsored" parts count under the $500 dollar rule or is that a free for all? cause i'm sure we can find a few sponsors to put parts to fix up a car that might otherwise be slow/clunky.....

urfsin Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yea, there are some rules but we would have to look into it. I would say pick up the Feb 2007 issue of C&D to check it out. I belive that we could get away with some mod's, but not too much. As for multiple people driving, it would be required since it is an "endurance" race. People would need to take shifts. I think it would be cool to represent the subie community. Hell, we could even challange the fools over on NASIOC to see if they could get an entry as well. I think we would spank them.

RezaLaleh Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 What if, We can get our hands on a really old Subaru, and have Subaru sponcor it. Something like a suby with over 300K miles on it, and it still manages to kick ass. That would be great for Subaru.... And yes, they will go for sponsership...

Gire Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Is this the (semi) famous 24 Hours of Lemons race? The Sport Compact Car article was classic. last issue or the issue before... You Californians get all the great stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Let's do eeeeet! Hook up a car Reza. Any "safety" equipment doesn't count in the price. Brakes, wheels/tire, roll cage and such are not part of the price limitations, sponsored or not. Performance mods really aren't needed, as it's more of a war of attrition than speed. As long as you are running at the end you have a pretty decent chance at winning. I'm in to crew/wrench and drive. Who else? I'm dead serious.

RezaLaleh Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Soooooooo..... This is good. What platform of cars do you guys prefer? Impreza or Legacy? I have them both with over 150K miles. They both run fine. Auto or 5 speed? I would pick 5 speed impreza wagon. Put in your input and let's get ready to rummble. SubaruBoxer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight705 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 http://24hoursoflemons.com/id2.html damnit found the site that runs this........ this might be more expensive than we thought. Entry: $500 per car + $100 per driver + $75 for non-drivers. (Each team must have 4-6 drivers. 2.2: Driver Eligibility: All drivers must have a valid US or International driver's license and a valid competition license. Acceptable competition licenses include SCCA, NASA, NASCAR, FIA, CSRG, HMSA, HSR, ACCUS, and SVRA. NASCAR licenses purchased from Altamont Motorsports Park ($90 each) on arrival are acceptable so pretty much anyone without a race license is boned.......
