Last year I was introduced to ChumpCar as an alternative to the popular 24 Hours of LeMons series. The LeMons Series seemed like a really cool idea: Buy a $500 car, add a roll cage, and drive it in a 24 hour endurance race with a team of drivers. It's affectionately known as crap-can racing, and I think it's a grand idea!
The problem was there were no LeMons races nearby. Then ChumpCar came along with two races within 4 hours drive of the Twin Cities. Woo Hoo!
After talking with friends, we decided to pool our resources and start a team. Initially it was Greg, Erik, Jeremy and I, and we've since added Ben, Jason, Danielle, Caz, and Matt along with several support folks to help us along. We plan to race at Brainerd and Iowa in June 2010, and if things go well, we'll road trip down to Florida for the Chumpcar race at Sebring, home of the 12 Hours of Sebring, in September.
This blog will chronicle our team's adventures in crap can racing.
