ChumpCar racing, why haven't I heard of this before?

Looking up a possible test and tune night at the California Speedway to base my next CA trip on (sadly didn't find one) but saw this on the itinerary,

ABOUT CHUMPCAR
Welcome to ChumpCar – North America’s home for $500 race cars and 24 hour endurance road racing. This series is for gear-heads; for people who love driving and driving fast. It’s for grassroots race teams and almost-race-ready cars. ChumpCar is a throw-back to the era when racing was fun and cheap… when Bondo beat carbon-fiber; when a crescent wrench was the most valuable tool in your box; when home-made engineering made everyone sit up and take notice; and when adding a little theme to your car didn’t get you laughed out of the pit. Those were good times… and they’re back.

So, do you think you’ve got what it takes, chump? CLICK HERE to join.

24 hours of lemons for circle track?

Appears to be a road coarse inside the track oval.

Funny, on the list of close parts stores, they miss the closest one, an AutoZone down the street.

I went and watched part of one at VIR alot of the same guys that run lemons race chump. I think the big diffrence is you don't need a theme andthey don't crush someones car halfway into the race.

yea theres a road coarse there at california speedway, some douche even decided to off himself there driving a porsche carrea gt a few years back there on the road coarse - too much car - too little talent - chumpcar is just another version of the 24 hours of lemons, doesnt DF still have a lemons car ?
