...Uh you may want to re-think this strategy. A used cup car is usually in need of a motor refresh. $20k is the number my mech has thrown around.
Well.... I've been shopping a Cup car for over a year now so I'm well versed in the costs. And willing to accept them - but I fully understand why others cannot or will not. Cup cars on the market range from almost zero hours (after rebuild) to 80 hours (in need of a rebuild). I'm not made of money being a working stiff but I've done ok - at least well enough that I can acept going down this particular road. There are all different levels - if I was a gizillionare I wouldn't be buying a used car.

BTW, JGordon will need to have someone help him set that car up, it was sketchy looking in some areas of the track this w/e.
John was doing quite well considering he was running slicks with 13 heat cycles and it was only his 3rd time in the car. The car seems to be set up fine and he has a good crew working with him on - he'll be ok.
