Blanco Bronco

[Blanco]

Ok, I took another step closer today towards actually racing Class 3 Myself....http://www.class3racing.com/images/smilies/cool.gif
Ok, We all know its only a matter of time before I go for it & Race Class 3.

I delivered Blanco to Fantelli Motorsports Today to have him start up on Class 3 legal MODs & in attempts to win over Savage to accepting Blanco into the SCORE legal Class? http://www.class3racing.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

I like to joke around from time to time & post to the Moss Bros to look out cause once I'm legal I'm gonna show them how its done! http://bestsmileys.com/lol/5.gif

But that facts are I've never EVER raced any sort of orginized racing events...
So I'll probably be the slowest guy on the course for a while..
But the way I see it is that due to that I might actually finish. http://thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif

& with that in mind I'd be so Proud! http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7_4_16.gif

Anyways here a series of Pics with What Rodd Fantelli will most likely be doing to my Bronco Cagewise towards my Racing attempts..

I've gotta be honest!
I really dont wanna race at all....
because I know once that starts I will NEVER EVER own my own home...


This is Fantelli's Class 8 legal bronco That mine will be following the build from basically.

I keep telling him to tell Jeff stowers to redo the suspension so they can race class 3....

My dash will be different than this due to my insistance on wanting it my way. :shrug:
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/510962/fullsize/img_3805.jpg
I'm gonna hold off on my windshied & door bars & FuelCell until My balls grow....
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/510967/fullsize/img_3807.jpg
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/510968/fullsize/img_3808.jpg


But the plan is to have everything SCORE legal to that point...

& then I'll be able to race with minor additions....

The facts are I'm trying to avoid racing because I've seen the logistics of racing & supporting a chase crew etc....

So if I figure for now I'll start on building up my Balls & once I feel the fit my pants properly, I'll add the door bars & the windshield bars & cell & then its go time for me to show all you experienced racers how it suppose to be done. :rolleyes:

& in case you wonder why they dont race this in Class 3....

:Dkeep on working, never loose the faith, you can do all, just try.:)

My biggest fear is seeing how much racing will really end up costing...:o

[chupakabras]

try not to think much about it, because, it will cost a lot, for us, it's really worth it, as you know, our results have not been that good, we keep on trying, i know our racer looks like we haven't spend a dime on it, but, we really are, altought all the "hardware" was done by us, you still spend a lot of money, and all has come from our wallets.

what does everybody else think about that, about money against fun :D , is it worth it?

[jonnyslick]

that's a sweet engine cage ...

[petepecas]

Blanco,

Racing is an addiction, make no mistake about it:eek: once you cross that line and actually do it, you will always want to go back for more, but brother, there is nothing like hunting down the guy in front of you, and....

if racing interfiers with your job, work harder:)
if racing interfiers with your marriage, leave it (your marriage);)
if racing interfiers with your children, start ´em young:cool:

Also, you will spend a lot, its a wallet race.

good luck, never give up...

[jonnyslick]

....its a wallet race.

....

Speed costs money, how fast do ya wanna' go!? hahaha

100% agree, do you understand what the sticker says,just by the red arrows, SCORE INTERNATIONAL, LA MANZANA DE LA DISCORDIA. in english means. "THE BONE OF CONTENTION".

[pigracing]

Sounds like a good plan, Blanco.
There's lot's of us in the same pickle as you and one day we'll all be there.

Hell at least your making progress. I can't even justify spending a dime on my project until after my wedding in October.....:mad:

I say go for it as well. I mention the Kia often because that was a big factor that motivated me to get into the class. The Skiltons had multiple championships, and I wanted to take a shot at them. Unfortunately, we only raced together once. They spanked us, even though it was our first race that happened to be 1800 miles long, but we did finish.

Its worth it to me, but I'll tell you it takes a huge amount of determination. Short of being able to keep food on the table for my kids, I'll still keep coming out. I am very fortunate to have a crew that continues to come out with me.

[jonnyslick]

Hey how much for your roll cage/engine cage work? If you don't want it public could you PM me on it Blanco? Thanks....

you better not do that to me!!!:mad:

if i win the 1000 this year, are you still gonna race '08, or are you gonna hang up the helmet and suit like Darren did in the Kia to you? . i got into this class just to chase (hunt) you down!!:D

[kkspeedracer]

hey man looks great !! rule of thumb on the cost....don't do it on credit...that way when yer outa money it stays in the garage !! you are welcome to pit with us whenever you need. i'm kinda like moss, i've been lucky to have a few guys around crazy enough to support my bad habits and help out in the pits for free....couldn't make it without them.

[Blanco]

Savage still has'nt seen it, so who knows.. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif

[kkspeedracer]

yeah...what a racket. makes it tough on us guys outside of california...just like going to another race cost wise. i think they are in big trouble put a tag on a cage saying it is safe in the first place.

[AngerIssues]

now isn't that a silly question?

we show up and race whenever we can... i don't regret doing it.

For the guy that's getting married... get a prenump... or get out quick!!!

We all think we've found the right girl until the day after the honeymoon is over!!

why do you think Anger Issues racing was spawned... a non-supportive wife!!! (she supported it for like.... two weeks).

Good luck CAM. the first time you leave the start line, you will be hooked, wether you go 1 mile or a 1000. The first time a kid in mexico comes up to you, and wants you to sign his shirt.... because he thinks you are some kind of hero... the first time you pass a LEGEND like Rod Hall (even if he's having a problem)... if we all waited until we had enough money to do it RIGHT... this would be called "class3wannagoracing.com"

OUCH!!! I can't speek for my Hubbie Sal nor will I try to, But I have supported him thru it all (Money Time, did I mention money?)and Now race my OWN Car.(Twice as much $$) We have the Same interests and support for one's own interests. You have to try racing to truly find out if you love it and have the well you know whats, if not you will always be wondering. And it is just money, build as you can with what you can. I'm hooked too. See ya all in Cabo! Catheryn the other Cervantes Racing member.

I could see it now, there on a budget & moneys tight but a race they both wanna do is comming up.
How do they decide who gets to race...
Or whos parts are more important & stuff like that. :rolleyes:


Even though we're slightly driffing http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/15.gif

Cam, You are correct.

[Blanco]

Cam, You are correct.

So your not curious to see what her class 5 looks like? :confused:

[RelentlessPursuitRacing]

So your not curious to see what her class 5 looks like? :confused:


Of course I am, but not at the risk of getting this thread locked on us for someone steering it off topic like this. Hopefully she will start a new thread about her class 5 and we can all check it AND know where to find it any time we want to come back to it......now, this is STILL......(see below), so let's stop this conversation and let this thread get back ON tOPIC.

[Blanco]

Maybe its just me, but you seem to be acting like an http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/asshat_.gif this morning.

It's better than acting like a retard!

[BajaBronco13]

I have to agree with Jerry. Cam when any of us slightly go off topic you bust balls but when you do it, it's okay. That just doesn't seem very fair.

Something to be mindful of next time you crack the whip.

Chris

[Blanco]

EXCUSE ME!!!! for simply asking for a single Picture! :rolleyes:
She brought up having her own Racer & so I asked!

[roach]

not only is she a keeper..........................

it seems like you guys are fighting over her already!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blanco]

Well from the thread title adjustment ( & relocation ) you've probably figured it out by now. :o

I'm not gonna persue racing Blanco. :(
Savage told me awhile back already, no to my Cage & to be honest I'm somewhat relieved.

Who am I kidding.:rolleyes:
I cant afford to race, So I'm just continuing its build as a dedicated pre-runner/Chaser.

Box now has a secured mounting for it, But I'm gonn change it so it slides out, lifting it over those hook points is a pain in the butt. :rolleyes:
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/619886/fullsize/img_1739.jpg

I'm gonna mount a 3rd seat here behind the driver.

why did he say no to your cage?




so i dont make the same mistakes

[Blanco]

why did he say no to your cage?




so i dont make the same mistakes

Being my Bronco weighs over 4000lbs, SCORE requires 2" tubing for the main cage structure.
I have 1.75.
I could go race most other sanctions, but why build a truck that you know wont be allowed to race against the Big Dawgs in SCORE.
Thats my way of looking at it anyways. :o

& I dont wanna start over on the cage.
realistically I love being able to drive the Bronco wherever I want & have comforts like A/C & Heat & such.
Beside I still get to run the Course'es with all my race friends doing pre-runs. :cool:
