Reasons that I want to bring a more "civilian" car:
1. While any of our cars...48 Hour Camaro, 69 Mustang, 48 Hour Corvette...would easily make the trip and be comfortable doing so, I want to demonstrate that you do not need a highly prepped hotrod to have fun, even in a competitive environment.
2. I want to see how well a simple StreetGrip equipped car can perform on the track. These are cars with a simple suspension, low horsepower crate engines, door dings, paint chips, and 15" white letter tires. You know, like most people drive.
3. I want to have fun without the stress of babysitting a high end car or the pressure of expected performance.
Having said all that I won't deny the possibility of one of our more prepped cars making an appearance at one of the stops. Thankfully we have the luxury of doing that since several of the stops are so close to us.
This trip is starting to shape up like one of the old Power Tour trips from the mid 90's, before everything got a little...out of hand. Fun with cars and friends!
