      Yeah we know, that's why we are trying to not just make a "normal" E30, and making sure to keep excellent records of purchases, sales, and trades.

            Our website is now active.

            Check it out: www.looksgoodonpaperracing.com

            Most of the content is the same as I posted here, but there is some extra stuff there, like team info.

            I will continue to post the updates here as well as on the website.

              Visitor #2 woo. Looks good guys, more props if you go stick axle rear. As long as the only BMW parts are body panels you shouldn't have too bad of a time with the judges.

                Thanks!

                We are sticking with the BMW rear. We would probably have better luck if it didn't have BMW body panels either :D I think we will make it unique enough that they won't give us too much of a hard time.

                  2011 Schedule has been released.

                  There are two events in the Mid-Atlantic region.

                  April 9-10, 2011: New Jersey Motorsports Park, Millville NJ

                  June 18-19, 2011: Summit Point Raceway, Summit Point WV

                  I think we will be shooting for Summit, as planned, but might go to NJMP to watch, and hopefully race there in 2012.

                  Also, the cage has been ordered, and built. We will be picking it up next week, and shooting for the second week of November for installation.

                      If it was my lemons car i'd make it a convertable pick up truck. Take the trunk lid off, cut out the rear trunk reinforcement crap, and weld in a strong cage to pick up the slack. It could be the BMW ranchero and you guys could dress up like cowboys. Maybe a steer skull where the kidney grill is.

                        There already is a BMW Ranchero :)



                        The folks at LeMons HQ have become quite weary of the BMW E30. However, it remains possible to get your allegedly 500-buck E30 into even the most overcrowded race. How? Do what Team Special Deliverance did and Ford Ranchero-ize it!

                          Usually want a new theme for each race. There's one for next year ;)

                                I'd like to but I don't think the car will be done, and if it is it won't be tested at all, and I'm not doing that again haha.
