Tom,

I'm figuring we'd shoot for the events on this side of the Mississippi river, for starters. Neither series has put out their 2013 schedules yet, so all I have to work with is their 2012 schedules.

The CHUMPCAR schedule is here --> http://www.chumpcar.com/events.php

The LeMONS schedule is here --> http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/eventsbyregion.aspx

Excellent! Two from Florida now. Might just have to include the GRM Challenge ($2013 next year!) in this adventure

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

Would it make sense to remove the stock steering wheel/airbag set up and replace it with a smaller diameter Sparco, Nardi, Momo, or Grant aftermarket steering wheel with no airbag?

Thanks.

Bill

The cheap, quick and easy is just to remove the airbag.
I personally love our stock SVX steering wheel.
This way you are not spending any money.

Given that we won't have any side glass, this would be a nice security "feature"

The adaptor has to be welded to the steering shaft.

I do not remember what the adaptors cost, but does'nt the car have to be valued at a VERY cheap price when compleated?

You are correct, my friend! I'm starting to find myself having to remind myself already to "keep things simple, with a strong eye on reliability" #1 rule is to have fun, #2 rule is to always finish the race.
