    It is amazing that this is just one of three sites apparently with all the damaged cars. I wonder how many are actually at TWS.

    yeah Jay sent me a youtube video. I have heard the dragstrip in Baytown is another place-didn't know there were three. I wondered how/who is keeping track of all of them. Then how/when they would be auctioned off. Wonder if they would try to do it onsite instead of spending hundred grands on towing.

    If $8 per car per day is true, they are printing money housing these cars!

    Spec Corvette! They're firing that up in CA. 200TW tires in a C5 Corvette, LS6 power (380whp), insane discounts on the basics like brake kits, shocks, and stuff. Pretty limited class though. Price wise I think it'd fit in between CMC and AI. Oh, and no aero. By the sounds of things it wouldn't be a 13/13 class either, tire donuts would be acceptable.

    This one is happenstance, not intentional. No manufacturer contingencies, just a bunch of aftermarket companies willing to cut some killer deals on their parts. Like Falken Azenis 615 for something on the order of half price. Still out of my budget to build a car, but a flood car might make a good base.

    Are you talking about the old AI before it became Spec S197? Or CMC2 before it became Mustang Challenge? (been too long and couldn't resist since I won't be at the track till next year)

    Thought there are 7 SI cars at the East Coast Nats.

    Spec Corvette does sound interesting if they truly keep it limited and on a tire that last a season. I like Spec E46 but don't think they did a good job of limiting things to keep spending in check. Why would you spec out an allowed $3,200 set of wheels and a $5,000 diff when you aren't even allowed to upgrade the brakes. Just doesn't make sense when the premium build cost of parts only is $27k.

    Don't think we realize how spoiled we are with how good CMC really is when you look elsewhere.

    What is a 13/13 class?

    Don't know what a 13/13 class is?
