HAHA no way that's cool. I actually go to LG raceway on Sat. nights to watch the roundy orunders crash it up. Are you racing with the rest of the 4 cylinder cars at those events? If so I do head out there quite a bit during the summer as it is pretty damn fun to watch.MShorten said:Hi!
I don't have a tuner Nissan Sentra, but I'm racing one (along with at least 2 other people) at Lake Geneva, which is about 60 min SW of Milwaukee. I'd love to see some people put together a tuner show at LGR or one of the other local tracks - show off the Sentras and maybe give some people some time on a circle short track, where they can race "safely"...

Yup, the BIC car division - pure stock, 4 cyl - they race on Friday nights. The Sat night is mainly for the Street Stocks and SLMs, Friday nights are the MLMs but the BIC cars are a huge pool of cars for racing - usually 2 or 3 heats, a dash, a semi feature and a feature race for the BICs. Look for the 109, I'm not sure I'll be able to get it painted black/green before the start of the season. Got too much mechanical to do and the weather is NOT cooperating!wes said:HAHA no way that's cool. I actually go to LG raceway on Sat. nights to watch the roundy orunders crash it up.

Anyway I'm in Salem WI which is mid way between Kenosha and Lake Geneva.
That's cool man... I have seen them race a few times as we sometimes go on Friday nights instead! Anyway I will be sure and check it out. Do you know any of the guys from the DPHC crew? I know some of them used to show cars with the Driver's Image crew and I have seen a few of them out there racing, never talked to any of them but seen their cars out there. It'd be fun to run a car out there!MShorten said:Yup, the BIC car division - pure stock, 4 cyl - they race on Friday nights.

I don't recall meeting a DPHC crew, BIC division? What #'s were their cars?wes said:That's cool man... I have seen them race a few times as we sometimes go on Friday nights instead!

Well, let me start by pointing you to the rules to prep your car, if you haven't seen them already - if you are wanting to use your day car, don't - you'll have to do some serious modifications like removing almost everything out of the interior. Best suggestion, if you don't have a car ready to strip and convert, is to buy one that's already been modified and raced. Here's the two links:91ser said:how much is it to enter a car in the lake geneva races, i wanted to look into slinger too, i would love to start racing in the 4 banger classes, i think it would be great experience

I spent $250 on my car (ran at Wilmot) and about another $250 to get it race ready from some brake leaking problems. Of course, since the car is no longer street legal, plan on either getting a tow dolly or finding someone with a trailer to haul your car. You can find those cheap up north in classifieds.
It is a great experience! I plan on running a full schedule at LGR (provided the damn cold weather ever breaks so I can work on my car) and once a month at Illiana. Come look for #109 if you're up there! First race is 4/23 and then second weekend in May is the small car championships (IIRC) and then May 20th is the first Friday night show.

Michael Shorten, #109
Yea, it is cheaper, although eventually you're going to want to either move up or start from scratch, I'm already looking at an older 80s/early 90s 'stangs with a gleam in my eye, given the plethora and strength of the old Ford 4bangers.. ANYWAY, some other thoughts:91ser said:yeah, i didnt plan on running my daily car![]()
i wanted to try to find a junked sentra xe, and start from there, but i spose it would be a lot cheaper to buy one thats ready to go on the track, i really want to get into racing this summer
thx for your reply
