    Default Sure fire sign STO is going to die.

    I am taking my 01 Camaro SS insurance total to the cage builder/prep shop this week.

    Bring it dude, we can use the numbers! And let us know what you need to be competitive...you have a lot of engine options to choose from.

    Since I am still in recovery mode from the Great Bastrop County Labor Day Conflagration of 2011 The competitive part may be an ongoing project. The first step is to get the safety things done and the oil pan replaced to get it on track. Then the suspension upgrades. No need to make power it you cannot get it to the track. Then engine/drivetrain.

    I hope to have it all done by 2013 when the Run Offs come to Circus (damn it I mean Circuit) of the Americas. Not sure which is the most wishful thinking, the having it done part or the COTA part.

    The cage builder said he can have it back to me in time to have it on the track for the TWS Super Tour. Hope to see some of you there.


    I need someting to replace this


    Since this

    caused the insurance company to total it is seems like a good choice.

    Is that a graveyard of burned race cars or do you torch yours when you're finished racing them?

    The fire was labor day weekend. 34000 acres and almost 2000 homes destroyed. Took ten days to get it controlled.

    The Toyota in front had just been picked up from the body shop being repaired after the MSRH crash with Cooper. The engine hoist had the engine and trans hanging ready to go back in. The Miata was going to be built for my son's race car. The BMW was my daily driver. There is another Supra on the jack stands just out of frame that just needed the brakes bled and a safety inspection to go back on the road.

    I have carried 20000+ pounds of burned and twisted metal to the scrap yard so far.

    Scorched Earth is the leading contender for the new name for the race team.
