BigKeyserSoze Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 How many cars are looking at coming out? Are there any rental cars available? I'm not going to haul my FFR to Utah, but I'm either going to rent a SE30 or SI car, assuming there will be fields for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suck fumes Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Me and Corey are bringing our cars. So there will be three reg so far including someone I haven't met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepoe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have 2 spec iron rentals but not sure about Nationals. not worth the trip out for one rental. Trying to haul a few cars out in the semi but that is not looking good right now either. If I can find a few cars to haul then 1 or 2 rentals is possible. or my AI car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacovini Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm very surprised we aren't seeing 5+ cars to date! I believe there are at least 7-9 cars nationally built (to varied degrees). Who wants to be the inaugural Spec Iron National Champion!?!? It will be pretty disappointing if 4 or 5 people don't want to bring their SI cars because there are only 2 cars registered. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't want to pay the added cost for fuel and travel to go all the way to Utah. Least that is what I'm seeing. If this was back at mid Ohio or someplace of a reasonable tow from the midwest I gurantee you would have your 5 plus cars. I know of 3 others in spec iron not going plus me all becasue of distance and time away . That is 4 right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallmosty Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Add to the mix that with all the "teething issues" with the swaybar endlinks, shock package, etc there has been little to no shakedown time for these cars. If I had built one, I certainly would not want to spend $3K in total travel/event expense to show up for a "development" session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel alone to get out there and back + time off work for extra travel time will cost more than my entire 2012 nationals budget. (not counting the tire wall incident... ) I'd love to be there (AI in my car, or SI rental), just not in the budget. Maybe next year.

smitty328 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (not counting the tire wall incident... ) I thought that was me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA13 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Any more spec iron possible entries besides me? My ca will be tested Sunday and I'm inclined ti load up on Monday if there will be a race. Ptb doesn't sound like any fun to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
