WinkTimber Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The breakfast room at the American, within sight of the Iowa Speedway complex, is already buzzing with Chumps getting ready for the big weekend. Just sat with Stigdad and Stiggy, who are here as support staff. I will be posting updates here, on the ChumpCar blog (with photos) and on Facebook. Stiggy will be doing likewise.Weather looks promising. The morning showers have moved to the north and east so no rain in the immediate forecast. Temps will be toasty today for a guy from northern Minnesota, in the upper 80s. It is supposed to be a little cooler on Saturday and Sunday.I will also be doing some driving this weekend in the Fart-hinder Saab 900. We were not among the invited podium finishers and other outstanding teams, but the Iowa track is reasonably close to the Twin Cities so we are here to get some track time. If there is any time left, watch for updates on the team on Facebook and on our blog: Fart-hinder Racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinkTimber Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The first cars to show up were the #0 Riff Raff TR6 from the east, and the #42 Beach Dudes Datsun 510 from out west.Registration and tech are underway. Cars and teams still arriving and getting unloaded. Test & tune session just started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmulgath Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Where the heck do you find a Running Datsun 510 for $500? I'd love one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinkTimber Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 The 510 wagon was built under last year's rules. It features a V6 from a Nissan Pathfinder, probably worth less at a salvage yard than the L16 that came in the 510. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinkTimber Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Team Mayhem has arrived, probably the final car for this weekend's race. That makes 44 entries.Quite a few Porsche 944s and BMW 325s, but a good selection of other cars as well. And one truck: Tow Mater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Any chance we can get a list of what kind of car each team is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinkTimber Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 There are a couple of RX7s, #74 Left Over Parts & #2 Snake Oiler. There is at least one Miata, #47 Chump Change.Don't have all of the cars because teams often do not list what car they will be running when they enter. Once we start posting results, we will try to include make at least. Unfortunately, we may have to use the random car generator on some as they are difficult to identify. Expect to see some Dacias, Trabants and Tata Nanos in the listing. Maybe even a Dome or a Dymaxion.Test & Tune has ended, the beer has been opened. See you all tomorrow. Expect my first updates in mid-morning as I will be driving for the first stint aboard the Fart-hinder Racing Saab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
