spedfrk Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I wonder how you would put a rollcage in a long bus? Sounds intresting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Texas Speedway Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Rule change a 2-door car with less than 108 inch wheel base can be used if it is not a sports car and has a 4-cylinder engine. I don't want this to get out of control with a bunch of Thunder cars coming out of the wood work to out run everyone so please call and ask before you just show up with a 4-cylinder, 2 door car. Thanks. Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlawcaddy Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 For the right amount of money I have a Caddilac for sale. It is set up for 2 people and can hold more if another seat was installed. It has a custom built cage and has run evey enduro race in Corpus and has finished every one it started. We also ran in Pleasanton. call for more information. James - 361-533-2809. It will need a radiator and probably a battery for the next enduro. There is a picture posted below. Dont let the looks detour you. It is a bit rough but it will still run. If it does not sell I will run it at the upcomming Enduro.
