    Default Chumpcar now allows IT cars

    Chumpcar is allowing the IT cars to race in their own class, no claimer, no win cash.
    This group has had a pile of races at cool tracks.
    Roebling is coming up on Aug 20- 22. Twin 7 hr races. Lots of track time for the cash entry. Bring 4 drivers and the cost is $250per.

    Sebring will have an 11 hr race on Sat and sprints on Sun. Sept 25 and 26

    Who thought that an IT driver would ever have the opportunity to say, "I'd never go out on track with those jalopies!"

    The speeds are pretty high . The prep level is a lot higher than most IT cars. Thats what happens when there are no rules and guys with too much free time.
    My golf- 2/3 liteweight weighs 1898# with 10gals fuel, cut off roof and doors, big Mk 3 brakes, dynamic rear steer with side load bars, Good engine with a small weber, high compression , etc. It should run about SM lap times, with a lot more straight speed.
    The cage is in better also.

    4 of our 5 drivers have either the HANS or D fender. Funny , by far the wealthiest guy, will use a neck coller. Go figure.

    I've got to say, in 21 hours of racing in Iowa, I saw 3 cases of car to car contact. CHUMP is real racing guys. While some of the Citrus cars & drivers will show up with a little bit of theme, CHUMP is all about seat time and racing. At times, the racing was as good if not better than the IT races I've been in. Yes some of the cars could use the occasional new quarter panel, but I've seen just as many IT cars that could use the same thing. It's the real deal guys. Build cool stuff and take it racing.

    They're running Hallett at the end of August. Should be a blast.
