UNDER $10K TRACK DAY PACKAGE DEAL!

July 24, 2021

SPORTS RACER $6000 + TRAILER $2000 + WEBERS $800 + ECU $200

TRACK DAYS - AUTOCROSS - TIME TRIALS -- MODIFY for DRIFT – OR TAKE RACING

Let’s face it – Track Days are fun. But one mistake and you could be walking home with a big tow and repair bill. But, if you buy this package and tow to the track, you’ll have a really, really, fun car. With your seat only inches above the track, the sensation is-- to say the least–exhilarating. It is a purpose-built race car -- not a modified production car. It is configured like a formula car with an open center cockpit, but with a full sports car body. It has a gorgeous livery of bright white with a unique super-wide black stripe and a hint of reflective red trim plus contrasting rondels with reusable numbers (1, 6, & 7).

The car is located in Fort Walton Beach, FL (the NW Panhandle). Car is in "Near-Ready to Track-it" condition. You could just install the battery, check the fuel, strap in and GO. (Needs normal pre-track preparations). To answer the question “Why am I selling?” I am building another race car (virtually from the chassis-up) and “she” demands a lot of time and attention these days.

VALUE: Combining low initial cost (see comparison chart below) and lower operational cost, this car makes your track days very economical to enjoy. For example, the TOYO R888 tires get two to three times the wear of spec slicks, at a cost of only a few seconds per lap. And by using off-the-shelf race parts, you can avoid the mark-up associated with buying “spec” items too (brake pads, shocks, tires, etc.). SEE THE CHART BELOW FOR COST COMPARISON - note it is lighter than a Spec Miata, cheaper to run, and better weight to power! And no risk to your daily driver on track! Think of it as an “insurance policy.”

Also available is a custom built low-boy trailer that, when included with the car, is available for $2000 (see photos). Includes 12v battery and winch, storage box, and tie downs.

MULTI-CLASS: In addition to Track Days, when you are ready to try your hand ar racing, this little car is legal in Super Production Under (2.5L) in SEDiv can run in B-Mod Autocross. It is pre-wired for lighting, including turn signals [would need a bit of work to fabricate and install light buckets]. It might even be licensed as a kit car in some locales.

AERO MODIFICATIONS: Overall, the vehicle is in really good condition. It has been a test bed to evaluate many aerodynamic concepts, and some chassis and bodywork modifications have been made. Here is a partial list:

Body has many modifications to improve aerodynamics and handling.
Nose shortened and re-shaped.
Radiator airbox sealed [Eliminates airflow through chassis/wheel wells]
Fiberglass splitter and air dam [Downforce enhancements/can mix and match]
Front wheel well trim tabs added (spats) [Improve airflow around wheels]
Wheel "air curtains" added to front chassis [direct airflow to tunnels]
Side pod tunnels [outstanding downforce enhancement!]
Fender louvers – all four corners [Relieve under body pressure and decrease lift]
Rear facia "parachute" is removed and the tail shortened [Major drag reduction]

ENGINE MODIFICATIONS FOR POWER/PERFORMANCE: The car was originally a Spec Racer RENAULT. It is SN 123, and there are many historical documents and manuals included. It retains its RENAULT heritage, but has had many engine modifications. NOTE: There has been limited engine run-time since these modifications. No actual track time – or DYNO results -- but healthy and fresh.
