Default SCCA guys

im looking into starting a build for a T3 car. it will be a slow (emphasis on slow) build because will have to make the money while in college. but i wanted to see if anybody had pictures of their car. during the build or finished would be great. just looking to get some ideas so i can slowly add more and more. i will have it set up for autocross by the end of the summer. but i am new to the club racing "scene" and was lookin for some pictures.

also maybe some tips on the build process. i.e. roll cage, hardtop, alignment, etc.


any help/pics would be VERY appreciated

-Zach

Well, autocross is cheap and you can prepare yourself for racing by spending time in the seat! The experience will carry over to road racing if you eventually wish to head that way.

The beauty of autocross is that you can run what ya brung......all you need is a Snell-approved helmet....and there are even loaners!

You can have all the right parts and still be slow.....so my advice is to work on the driver first and foremost!

Next event at Cal Speedway/SCCA is June 14/15 - check out solo2 (dot) com for more info.....and go to forums linked there....lotsa info and help for starting out there.

And, showing up at the track you can see cars up close to see what has been done and speak to people who have done work to their cars.....much better than photos only.

"much better than photos only."-put very well.

i have been running autocross for about 3 years now, and im looking for something more. so i have had some good seat time, of course not nearly enough. But is there ever ENOUGH?

im more just lookin for some ideas for roll cage and other safety equipment since i dont really have any experience with that kinda stuff
