| I know that some have Kawasaki snowmobile engines, which means you have
to start them with a pull cord (we use a different term at the
track...). I've alwo heard that some regional drivers buy 1 set of
slicks and 1 set of rains, and run an entire season that way. It
doesn't get much cheaper to start than that. Formula Vee's at least
have a battery.
Since your down in Atlanta, see if you can get a local SCCA tech person
to talk to, or get a name of a 440 driver to talk to. Drivers love to
talk about their cars.....

| Geez, Mike, don't let the boys in the NASCAR conference hear about

| Hey, remember, I'm a drag racer 1st. I don't mind helping folks who
spend a fortune to go squish sheetmetal every saturday night. But for
sundays I am getting visions of me buzzing through the woods while
my wife is eating cheese and whine, er wine. On Saturdays I can still
have my Beer and potato chips at Lanier. It's simple economics. But
don't tell anyone about this. ;^)

| 358.4 | a F440 racer up north | PCBUOA::PLATT | | Wed Feb 22 1995 13:30 | 13 |
| A friend of mine just started road racing in a 440 last year, having spent most of his
racing career up until now in motorcycles. He loved it and did rather
well. He's planning on doing just this season, with an eye towards
selling what he's currently got and going (perhaps) formula ford
racing. Anyway, if you'd like to some backgrounder info (pricing,
specs, etc.) feel free to call him -- Tom Fatur (603) 437 7629.
Unfortnately, he's not a DECCie, so you'll have to give him a holler
after hours.
Good luck,
Barb

| 358.5 | I'll stick with V8's and Camaros | VMSNET::M_MACIOLEK | Four54 Camaro/Only way to fly | Tue May 27 1997 20:32 | 7 |
| Forget about the open wheels and snowmobile engines... since i'm
a camaro kinda guy, I figured out I'm going American Sedan racing.
I need to score a couple more camaros and then I'll start building
my AS car during the fall.

| Yup, I pushed a bunch of them over the weekend. Back when I was
contemplating something... it was 440, or 300 or 250 or something.
