I gutted out like 70% of my WRX at one point (left the engine, tranny and some of the bulkhead in place).. it's not that bad at all to prep up a race car... you should see pics of the WRC WRX car..

tsyGT Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Mutilate? Mutilate? I like the word "transform". Cars are happiest when driven. I gaurantee you our car is sceaming "yes! YES! No commuting for me!" It's an extreme makeover! It's becoming more beautiful, like a caterpillar to a butterfly! O.k. I was never very poetic. It's being purged of everything unnecessary and extraneous. It wil be leaner, faster, and more agile than it ever would have as merely a commuter car! Keep up the good work, Chris (and the pics!) tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elej Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Is there any TV coverage of Grand-Am or USTCC? I know SPEED channel covers British touring car, but no mention of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLock Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Is there any TV coverage of Grand-Am or USTCC? I know SPEED channel covers British touring car, but no mention of the others. Grand-Am, of course. It just is not part of their listings right now because it is out of season. The Rolex series(Daytona Prototype, GT) has many of their races live, and the Cup Series(GS, ST) are played tape delay like Speed WC. Usually about 2-3 weeks after the event, and shown about 3 times in a month. The daytona race should air in Feb sometime. Look for us then. USTCC has had some "spots" on shows in the past. This year they are vying to be a regular segment one of Speeds shows, as well as a half hour "year in review" at the end of the season.

ChrisLock Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Updates! As of yesterday, the car is complete! It goes to the dyno this saturday. the unfortunate thing about that is, in order to make daytona, it needed to be in the hauler on it's way through the california desert by saturday http://images.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif. Various supply issues paralyzed our efforts at the last minute and we were unable to get the a proper test run before it's debut. In order to make sure we do Subaru and the Legacy justice, we decided that postponing it's Grand-Am debut would be the best choice. So Now we will spend the entire month of February testing at tracks near you, planning to debut the car at the USTCC opening round in March, followed by it's grand-am debut in April at VIR. I know you all are dying to see pics with this update, but I am going to make you wait till this saturday to see if I can get some pictures of it actuallly on track. Now that the build is over, we are all very excited to be the first to run a legacy in a pro series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTORacing Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Chris, will you be at Buttonwillow track on Sat/Sun Feb. 11-12? there's a RedLine track event that weekend that I will be attending. if not, can you reveal what tracks and dates you intend to have this hot-rod LGT testing? also, can you identify any race events within 100 miles of Los Angeles that your LGT will participate in? what tracks/dates? We will post our testing schedule once it is complete. Right now ot looks like we will be at either Leguna Seca this weekend, or Thunderhill. We will be at a test day for 3 straight weekends after this one as well. Another confirmed date is Infineon Feb 4, 5. The USTCC Schedule will be finalized soon and we will let you know if we are anywhere near LA. Thanks for the support guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLock Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 No pics recent enough to be of interest. Our testing schedule is very tenative. Some tests are private. PM me a few days before a public test if you are planning to watch, just to make sure we are still going. Jan 22 Laguna Seca(tenative) NASA HPDE, maiden voyage, stretch the legs. Jan 27-28 Thunderhill CA Open test Feb 4-5 Infineon Raceway NASA HPDE, exhibition, Sponsor day, possible fan ride alongs. Feb 11-12 ?? TBA Buttonwillow? Our Race schedule for this year is very up in the air. But we plan on doing a full USTCC season, and at least 2 GA races, one of which is VIR, the other laguna. More will be added as sponsors are found. When the USTCC schedule comes out, you can check to see if there are races in your area. Also check our web site every once in a while for updates: www.gotoracing.com We have a public forum there if anyone is interested. Good place to pick up info on what we are doing since we often use it for communication. Chris Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great!!! Now I can extend my ENTIRE stay at VIR!!! I will be at VIR in April 24-25 with the Audi guys for some HDPE, so I can just show up and stay at the lodge from Friday night until Tuesday!! Hope to catch you in April! Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTORacing Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Small update... We finshed 95% of the vinyl work tonight. The car looks so hot! Assuming everything goes well on the dyno this saterday, we will be out at Leguna Seca on Sunday. Tried to get some decent pics of the car tonight, but we need daylight to really do it justice. Monday at the lastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonFo Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 ^ weight man, the weight! Sure, but it's in the right place, out back. They still need to make minimum, which is pretty high.
