The Racing Rig

[tommi]

dunno if this has been posted here before but..... here goes ... I’m sure you’re familiar with the 24 Hours of LeMons, this humble ’91 Accord is a LeMons veteran that now runs in the Chump Car World Series where it recently won it’s first 14 hour event at Rockingham. Just like in the LeMons series, the spending limit for enties is $500 including car purchase price. Safety equipment is not included in that price for obvious reasons. Cheap, reliable, and easy to make quick, it’s the epitome of why most of us got into Hondas in the first place, which pretty much makes this our poster child.







and a vid of it walking it’s way through half the field at Rockingham in one lap

I've definitely drooled at his project in the past. Videos like this are excellent motivation.

Sweet motivation! Hopefully that's the type of track mine is going to be used on. Bit more than $500 though...lol

It is an old Honda Civic (2000, I think) that has had a VTec swapped in. The engine swap had already been done when we got it from the wrecking yard. Believe it or not, it was on it's way to the crusher.

??? Old guy has no idea what he's got or what?

That was just the guy who uploaded the vid... i dont think it was the driver.. I think someone who put that much time and effort into a car he's going to be taking to the limit would know exactly what he's got.. I could be wrong though....
