What series are you racing in? Are time trials about all that's really practical? I'm not interested in autoxing.

Oh I didn't mean to imply that I intend to drive the car to and from the track. I always throw the car on a uhaul and trailer it. I have a F250 with the 7.3 powerstroke, so I have no reason not to trailer it. I'll get a trailer eventually. My DD is an E36 M3.



Great information about time trials. Thank you.

I realized I didn't give much information so here goes. The car is a 97 SS. It had a 396 LT1 making 380 rwhp and suspension and brake upgrades. I was tracking the car, just doing normal track days/driving schools and I got bored. I really enjoyed when I was trying to chase somebody down. So I decided to turn the car into a CMC car. I got the car to the point where I was ready for a cage and go racing. That's about when I changed my mind. CMC isn't big enough in my area. I also realized how much I miss driving the car on the street.

So, I bough a 99 SS roller to make the car street legal again.

Now my 97 SS has all the interior plastics, but all unused brackets are gone, no radio, no AC, ABS or airbags. It does have heat and a light weight carpet. I also swapped the LS1 front end over for a new look.

The 4 point bolt in roll bar is still in the car, so I'll keep that for now. I'm going to, for now, use the stock seats for the street. I have a Butler seat that one of my NASCAR buddies gave me. That'll be used for the track.

Since I have the 99 parts car, I'm going to start saving for an LS1 swap.

I'm building the car for me to enjoy as a fun weekend street car that'll also be a blast on the track. I just need to figure out what rules I will fit into so I can do some sort of competitive racing. It really sounds like time trials will be perfect for me.
