  • One Lap of America... in a beater

    I'm thinking about trying to race in Car and Driver's One Lap of America in a clapped-out beater. Am I crazy?

      What is the beater? Or do you need us to pick one for you?

        Only if you don't like fixing stuff at the side of the road, or in the pits at the various tracks. ;D

            get something that is the definition of beater(no interior,rust,missing pieces) just throw it together and run it

            and no your not crazy

              Disco Nova 4dr! trick it out underneith with a combo of DSE, factory WS6, Seville, and Global West stuff but leave it poo brown and actually swap the seats out at the race track the first day and put it in the dumpster!

                Use a dodge omni or Plymouth horizon, sorry had a high school flash back. A disco crew cab nova would be great.

                    I'm thinking surplus Gen IV 6.0 or 6.2L with a minimalistic accesory drive setup, T56 6spd, and a Seville 8.5in 10-bolt with 5x5in wheels and 9C1 brakes.

                      Think the entry fee is something like 1100-1500 bucks ! I could buy three beaters for that. Whitch would be more fun.

                        Sounds Cool....Just make sure it is actually a beater ;D

                        Not a High dollar car that looks like a beater..

                            Are you crazy? Probably - but it's a GREAT idea. Being crazy doesn't make you wrong.

                              Why not just run a Seville. Way more comfortable than a Nova.
