A mate is looking at getting into the Bendigo Car Club, and I'm acting as technical consultant and conscience.
I'm starting this thread because I'm looking for ideas and possibly a vehicle. We were going to use his AD Van (B11 Sunny panel van) but it was way too crooked and rusted.
All racing exploits will be done based on cost, not lap times - all in fun.
I've been and spoken to people at the Bendigo Car Club, fees are reasonable for Non Speed Events (dirt racing at Bagshot) CAMS license for Speed Events adds to the cost.
Looking at buying
R31/Nissan Pulsar/Sunny
Mazda 323/Ford Laser
RWD Mazda 626
Leaning more towards RWD, because the main protagonist thinks that will be faster.
thoughts that need to be considered are:
- transport - how do we get the car to/from the event? (Permits vs Trailers)
- Vehicle Mods (to pass scrutineering as much as to go faster)
the plan is real shoestring budget racing. Number one factor - low cost. Factor 2 - fun. Lap times be damned, we'll never beat the WRX's.
