Hey everyone. New guy looking to get into CMC racing. If anyone knows of a good car please let me know. I am looking for something that is either complete or mostly complete. I have fab equipment so if it only needs a cage then that is fine. I am wanting something that has high quality work & is capable of winning races or could easily be made to be capable of winning races. Not that the driver is capable...

Have you checked out the national CMC forum? Pat Stone has an sn95 for sale there.
I chased that yellow and black LX around a bit at TWS last year. Seems like a sturdy car but could also just be that driver.
I saw Pat Stone's car. If I could have it at my house for his asking price then I would be real interested, but it is pretty far away otherwise. Thanks for mentioning it though. The yellow/black one could be a possibility if I can't find something a little "nicer".
Getting a car from Cal. is not that bad. I bought my car from N. Cal. and I think it was $700.00.
I did have to shop around alot to get that price. Some bids I got were over double that.

numerous national podiums including 1 nat championship...
3 regional championships
very easy to drive... it even made this old man look good
I am not totally against a camaro but the price would have to be favorable. I have messed with mustangs since 88 & know them well and have quite a bit of spare parts around so they seem a better fit.
David Love, where can I find information on the car?
Its $800 to ship one right now from Fresno, CA to Dallas, TX with DAS.Quote:

Each set of Toyo's adds over 10% to the cost of the car too, but you still need tires... 8)Quote:

I had never thought of it that way. I'm off to the bar, who's with me?Quote:

Ask around and most will tell you "even a monkey can drive it"
I have had a number of PMs about the car... I'm in very dire straits financially and really need to sell... but ultimately it will be up to Jason to find some sponsorship before I can name an asking price...Quote:

Does that mean CMC ready?Quote:

Have you thought about spec "cake eater"... err I mean 944? I think Todd and Al both got running cars for about that price point.Quote:

Are you sure about that, Marshall??Quote:

BUT... it is still a CMC2 car... just like the 3 car :roll: :roll:Quote:

I appreciate hearing everyone's opinions. I did not know that cmc1 had gone away, I did know that it did not have much interest. I must say that I do like. Mr. Pat's car in that link. I know it could use parts but I like that most of the parts that it has are good parts. Mr. Pat is at his bottom dollar price though & I still need it shipped. I am coming into this sport after many years of offroad racing. The last 2 years have been really slow & it has been hard to find races. That and when it is was going well it was hectic chasing a championship in a 13 weekend series. Hard to do for a working family guy. When work picks back up I will have more to spend but for now I just want to get on track with a car that will make a solid foundation for future modifications.
I purchased a car! thanks to everyone for their help, hope to see you guys on track.
Scott
