Re: East Coast-based 24 Hours of LeMONS/CHUMPCAR World Series SVX Race Team??

Starting to look like we'll be able to jump between the two fairly easily.

LeMONS requirements:

2.1: Vehicle Eligibility: Entry limited to mass-produced, four-wheeled vehicles legal for US highway use at the time of their manufacture. Vehicles must be acquired and prepared for a maximum of $500 as described in Section 4. Vehicles must meet all safety standards laid out in Section 3. The vehicle's original, manufacturer-stated curb weight may not exceed 4200 pounds. Individual waivers may be granted; just don't ask about Peterbilts, Zambonis, sidecars, or golf carts again. We already said no

2.3: Tire Eligibility: DOT-approved street tires only, minimum treadwear rating 190; no exceptions. BTW, don't call us to moan that there aren't any good tires sold in that range. That's the damn point.


Note: the tire requirement may not be that much of a problem as the street tire classes in SCCA are going to be bumped from the current wear rating of 140 up to 200 in the coming season (or so I've been told)
