I drag race in the amateur class in my Trans Am. It's loads of fun, but with gas so high, it's roughly $60/night. It's bracket racing, so you can race anyone against anything. But it's loads of fun.

I also may do some mud racing at the same track this year, $ pending.

Not as of yet. We actually moved my 98 mazda with the blown engine to my friend's race shop this weekend. We are going to start the full rebuild next weekend. Building a moderate prerunner build.....for now. Doing the whole long travel system and then dropping in a mustang drivetrain (302, t5, 8.8). Should be done by the end of summer if the sponsors come through. And since we don't have much baja/prerunner style racing on the east coast the trucking will be running in the NASA rally sport Modified 1 class. If all goes good the first race after testing will be Febuary.

I wanted to compile Rumblegoats posts in one area to keep people aware of their racing program. I just wanted to see if there was any justification for a new forum, or if I just needed to find an existing forum to organize info into.

A new section for racing would be fun. I'm see would could see more people than Rumblegoat Racing post up in there.

I know I'll be posting up pics and info of my race truck build up here soon. And keep updates on that.

the street stock

this is one of the latemodels, used to be a petty driving school car. until this unfortunate day in oswego speedway.

this is the wifes fathers car... when he is done, we are racing for pinks! not really, that thing is fast.

and the modified.

my wife lost the memory card with all the other cars. but im sure i can take some this summer.
oh, and i forgot to add, there is a drunken soapbox derby at oswego speedway every year for the race of champions, this was my ride i made(thats real racing!)

mine is the black chopper, i was in the open class, my grampa's cheater bike was in the skid class, which had to be made out of a skid! he's a clever old man!

I have been racing in SCCA for over 20 years. The only thing my Ranger does in it is tow, carry gear and provide sleeping quarters sometimes. I road race race an Austin Healey Sprite sports car at various tracks on the west coast and a few in the middle part of the country.
