Thinkin bout buying a racer

facn8me · January 21, 2006

Alright guy's. I have had the racing bug for forever. Had a few toys. Just sold the v8 s blazer. Anyway I have been researching cheap fun racing for the last couple of years and had decided on a legend. Trouble is they don't race around here. The local track which is 2 yrs old and asphalt tried to get the legends. Don't know the story but the guy is rich and very cool. Hard to believe there was a problem. Anyway here's one I called on that's local. waitin to hear back. what do you guy's think? look like fun?

Whats in that thing?

Looks like fun tho.

the dwarfs run up to 1200 cc motorcycle engines. That one sold today, dammit. it had a gs1100 stroked to 1166. They will run about 100mph. 150 hp and 1200 pds. Anyway I'm lookin.

Damn, that looks like fun.

How much $$$ does one of those things run anyway?

facn8me · January 23, 2006

Hey nut, I am looking in the $2500-$3500 range.Of course they go higher. Used are normally around $3k+ some even with trailers. We have a 1/4 mile asphalt oval here in tulsa now. Kinda got the bug and decided to treat myself.

Here's another I'm lookin at it has a gs1000

Got a pink one to go look at tonight. Hmmmmm maybe I could # it k-2?

I knew those were small cars but DAYUM! Compare that second one to the guy and the office chair in the pic.

That first one would've matched your truck better. And I also like the rear end of the 1st one better. More style to it. But it'll be YOUR racer, my opinion shouldn't matter much.

Holy crap that looks like fun.

Damn cheap too as far as motor related hobbies go. Heck, my quad cost quite a bit more than one of those things.

They run something similar to that on dirt around here. I've seen one roll the whole straight stretch too lol....

Here's a pic of what alot run around here, some also resemble a real car like the ones you have pictured too...

Nothing in racing is cheap, I can easily see around $10 grand in one, probably depending on whether you want to run in the front or rear.

If you buy the pink one and number it K-2 that would be a nice tribute to "The Man" and no one would make fun of you for driving a pink racecar!!!

A legend car I can see 10k easy. Dwarfs are a little more affordable. Although I too could see trying to buy the biggest baddest motor out there but it has to make it thru to the pavement on 205 60 13's. Anyway here a couple i've looked at so far including the pink one
