Chump Car Race!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A buddy is looking for drivers..



914 Drivers wanted for Roebling Jan 29/30th 2011

Hello - from Scott in Savannah

I am sending this to you as an invite to drive my 1973 914 race car
at Roebling Road Raceway in Jan 2011.

I want to start by thanking everyone that has shown interest in racing with
YSR - yellow submarine racing.

Please visit ChumpCar World Series if you have not,,,,, to see the idea behind
this crapcan racing series.

The first page has an "about" button

ChumpCar World Series - What We're About that tells you in a short paragraph the
concept.

Welcome to ChumpCar – North America’s home for $500 race cars and
endurance road racing. This series is for gear-heads; for people who love
driving and driving fast. It’s for grassroots race teams and
almost-race-ready cars. ChumpCar is a throw-back to the era when racing was
fun and cheap… when Bondo beat carbon-fiber; when a crescent wrench was the
most valuable tool in your box; when home-made engineering made everyone
sit up and take notice; and when adding a little theme to your car didn’t
get you laughed out of the pit. Those were good times… and they’re back.

Another button to review, is the FAQ's ---- and then the Rule ( very long,
but 1/50th of the SCCA rule book) are good reading for the "spirit" of the
race series.

Then the Forum ---- please read the topic "How to calculate team
member/arrive and drive seat value"

Type " calculate value" into the search box on the top of the forum page,
and the third topic down in the one to read. I started it to get ideas
about teams and arrive and drive value and costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no doubt that there will be issues with this ( and almost every)
chump car at any given race. With that mindset, I am setting the
arrive-and-drive price low for the first race of the yellow Submarine
Racing Team.

Drivers that have driven with YSRT will get a better rate that first time
arrive-and-drive teammates at future races.

Here are just a few of some of costs of parts-

tires $400 - I bought 6 dz101 at about $60 + mounting
Gas $280 $20 per hour ( 6-7 gal @ $3) =
$140 each day $280 total for weekend
Oil $50 5 qt to start and 5 qts on Sun
Brake pads $120
trans fluid $50

car entry fee $500 $125 each if we run 4 drivers
Driver $400 $100 each driver
Transponder $50
Fire extinguishers - oil absorb - plugs - wires - belts .....


400+280+50+120+50+500+400 (4 drivers) = $1850 i think - is you divide by 4
= $450

That does not cover other stuff that get tore up in normal racing ....
trans , rotors $200 for 4, clutch $250

What I don't cover - REQUIRED personal safety equipment (helmet, fire suit,
shoes, nomex socks , nomex gloves, neck protection...) Chump License ($50
per year) , First time race drivers novice School $25 ---Hotel -
Transpotation -
Food and Drinks ( I will coordinate this but ask for everyone to chip in )



So here is my idea ----- I need 3 drivers to paypal me $250 ---- asap
then $250 more by Jan 14th.


After much thought, I will propose that consumables that are not
completely used will be refunded at a prorated level.... If you get less
than 1/2 of the expected seat time (3 hours) I will prorate a credit to
each driver to a future race. (exception : if any one driver is the cause
for the others to not receive their seat time, that one driver will not
receive the refund or the credit.)


I want to have fun - and want to supply a value - I don't want the Risk to
out weigh the potential fun.


I want to be more than fair - I have a fair sum of time and money tied up
in this car - and would like to have a hand-shake agreement, that if a
driver damages the car or cage to the point that I have to replace one or
both of these items, that the driver will conduct or fund the repairs. The
car body was about $200 and the cage value is about $900 - not huge money
but would be a huge setback to my racing budget if they don't last a whole
season.
