I'd wear 'em.

 

[KevinV]

Women can wear all sorts of things men would never dream of wearing... so... you dont count:laugh:

By that logic a woman should drive the LMP on the street!

 

[KevinV]

By that logic a woman should drive the LMP on the street!

And that is exactly why it is not allowed :thumbsup:

 

[Jack]

Ouch!

 

[KevinV]

Ouch!

Dont be sensitive... it's all in good fun

Wanna wear chrome cowboy boots while driving your LMP1 on the street go for it... but... we reserve the right to laugh at your ass... regardless of gender.

Fran... we need an update here to get this thread back on track. Got anything for us?

 

[Justin]

Fran,

Upda...... You know what we want.

 

[FD Vaughan]

Any updates on the LMP1 car?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

coming along very well....some really nice tweeks along the way.

New uprights and suspension giving really nice results...

Have some great things to play with this race season

 

[FD Vaughan]

Thanks for the update. I look forward to the final product and am hoping to make a visit later this year to see everything in person.

Hi
Does anybody have a dimension from the bell housing face to the axle of the completed Corvette transaxle when it's all together?

Hi Fran... any new pics?

Also... when do you think the first one will roll out of your shop? I am planning on a March 1 delivery (or so) for my LMP1... is that realistic?

Thanx.

You tease and torture us without mercy!

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Yep....there has to be some benefit to working Saturdays and Sundays and every other day too.

Ooooooooh...you mean you're just like 80% of all other business owners??? Imagine that! :surprised: :thumbsup:

'The majority of classes from both the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and the ALMS will be retained with the exception of the ALMS’ LMP1 class.' from race car engineering.

sounds like they are doing away with the lmp1 class for '14 & '15.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

What we are building is not to run with ALMS/Grand am...its aimed at the guys that want to run in SCCA/NASA/NARRA .....either racing or track days...

The cost to run with LMP1 in pro racing would make ones toes curl

Sounds awesome!

I have been and will continue to be swamped at work until late March... but I am going to do everything I can to fly in and... see the LMP1, meet you and get in a shop tour prior to the car shipping.

Thanx much!

I didn't see anyone talking about using a northstar motor in this thread, would that be a viable option? I know there was a company that specialized in building these motors. I guess the biggest issue would be adapting it to a transmission and setting it up for longitude mount?
