Default Can people who Drive what appers to be a race car post some pictures?

Hello:

I've noticed several Cars n this site that appear to be Racing Cars from the outside (With Striping Numbering, Sponsors etc.)

I would really like to see what all people have done in this area, and if it isn't to much of a problem, could you post pictures of your, "Race Cars"?

Also, give a description of your ride.

DRAG, NASCAR, ROAD RACE, ???, all are welcome.

Thanks ahead of time,

Ty O'Neal

Sure. In my area, it just has to have headlights, brake lights, turn signals, horn, DOT tires, exhaust, some sort of title or certificate of origin, proof of insurance, etc.

I've seen converted Sprint Cars into street legal cars around here, so yes, you can convert a race car to a street legal ride... although it may not be real comfortable.

Check out this NCTS truck that was on the Power Tour. It was really cool.

LOL, you beat me to that comment, noticed the cupholder too... my second thought was that it seems like a biatch to clean when its been out driving in the rain... must take a day to get the engine compartment, or whatever you call it clean and show-worthy!

cool UCA mounts as well... adjustable cambercurve!

Hey what do you mean, real race cars dont have cupholders?? have you checked out rod sabourys new vette yet? it was on the moroso stand at sema, it has done approx 600 road miles inc the woodward cruise and on its second ever shakedown pass ran a 7.09 1/4 mile!! apparently the boost is only at half of what it will do so hopefully it will live up to its " in the 6's" license tag. it has fully operational flip up headlamps and power windows too.

I hate to even post my little slow 9 second car after Rod's killer. But until last year (sitting in the garage since 2006 Run Thru the Hills, damn shame, need to get time to use it) it got a couple thousand street miles a year, and a few hundred passes since 1998 when we finished it.

Holy Crap!!

Now I know what the phrase, "Off the Hook!", means.

That got my heart racing, just watching it.

Spectacular!

Thanks,

Frank:

Very Nice!

It's cool you get it out and drive it and drive it on a semi regular basis.

At 9 seconds, I'm sure it can still be a handful.

"Street" cars like this don't get the attention they deserve.

Thanks for Posting it.

Ty

To All:

If possible, even the people who drive, "More Street Friendly", cars (That Look like Race Cars) are invited to post as well.

Your still a segment that are not often seen.

The guys NASCAR post for his Street Chevelle is a good example.

Please post your, "Race Car", rides also.

Thanks again to those who have posted so far. Very Cool!

Ty
