Could you imagine having the money to buy any car you want and taking it there to race.

I'd have a cage and a ButlerBuilt seat put into a Ford GT.

(You get to choose from 300HP to over 1000HP.)

 

[Johali]

Yep.

 

[BobbyFord]

Yep.

The GTR weighs about 2200lbs., with up to 1000HP.
Can you imagine?

 

[Johali]

Nope. I have a good imagination, but damn.

Cars that race in this MUST have a co-driver.

Check out the first link in the OP and click on "past races" in the header and click on a year. It has all of the stats and who the navigator was if they had one in each class. Also hover over "entry" and click on "course" for a detailed "course notes sheet". I searched the entire site and it was very interesting.

Got some pics today of the yellow GTR at the car show. I'll post them when I get home.
