    That's a lot of red...

    One of the details - car number. Look on the national forum (nasaforums.com) in the Texas region for the '2018 Permanent Numbers List' to see what's available. I'm looking at it now, that thread is pinned to the top.

    It it's Runyon's old car... it's niiiiiice.

    Thanks guys! It is a really clean car for a race car but only ran that one season.

    Yes this was Nick's car.

    Once I get all the fluids changed and go through everything I will start buying the spec carb parts. I can't wait to get this out on track.

    Also I emailed Adrian about the car number last night. I sure don't want to have change all that up.

    I don't remember seeing that car at more than two races.......maybe three. I don't think it ran even one full season.

    Bob Denton knows how to make a 3rd gen turn. I say this not knowing who set the thing up in the first place.

    All I know is what I was told. I know right now I am under powered and probably not enough brakes. Transmission is not the best either but gonna run her till she brakes. Boy I have a lot to do.


    No idea who set it up either. I am going to try and run it as is, at the end of Jan.

    Thanks for the info supercharged.

    if you are new to racing it will be a while before you will need the extra power or brakes. For a long time a 3rd gen at 230/300 held the CMC track record at Cresson and that was on a smaller tire. If you are indeed new to racing just get the car to handle and get that seat time. Seat time seat time seat time.

    You are 100% correct and I know its all about seat time.

    I just want to know what I will need as I progress. Hopefully I can start buying what I want before I need it. lol.

    Current car runs on rails thanks to previous owner so I need to get this on track as soon as possible. Learning setup is going to be key.

    Thanks for the input.
