Re: ECHC street cars? (George Knighton)

i dunno, i was just wondering.

Would you want all those metal bars running past your soft unhelmeted head in a hypothetical side-impact on the street? I'm thinking that could suck very very badly.

Re: ECHC street cars? (illusion)
My RX-7 was street driven for the first year I raced. A bit loud and uncomfortable, but it worked unti I could afford a tow rig. I never drove it farther than Summit Point (about an hour from home) since I would still be within the AAA service range (which I used a few times - I had a few guys I race convinced I used AAA to transport my car back and forth). There are currently a few HC racers who frive to the track part of the time (Todd, Matt, Chad?).

Yack's Hatchcrap was driven to the track. It has a full interior with a working "system", IIRC. He finished first both days. He was turning 1:53.XXXs (by the way, that's really f-ing fast at CMP)

Re: ECHC street cars? (getfast)
It is probably not legal, smart, or safe to race your daily driver, but I have to give a big to Jack. He was on pole both days, won the race** both days, and won his class both days. All in his daily driver with full interior which he drove to the track!!!!
Amazing.
**Race 1 was actually won by the World Challenge Spec Civic Si, who took the lead from Jack on lap 10 or 12, but he was disqualified for having an illegal car after the race.

Re: ECHC street cars? (illusion)
is it possible to keep a car street legal and still participate in ECHC?

Yack's car has a Cat, passes emissions, has a muffler, and would pass inspection, along with a CD player and Cupholders 
Pretty damn good for a polesitter!
