Ive never been able to find any video online of these races.

 

They are typcially broadcasted on Speed TV.

 

The Koni Challenge is exclusively broadcast on Speed afaik. You need a DVR

 

First off I need to get cable

Someone needs to upload 10min clips to youtube on a dummy name so that the rest of us can check this out.

 

So what's the reseason that they have to run turbo instead of supercharge or use both besides being in the rules and stuff cause I wanted to take the test for the racing license but if I need a newer car I guess its pointless huh lol

 

The reason they run turbo is because thats what the street car runs.
You could run an LSJ if you wanted to though.

A far as "taking the test". Do you already have an SCCA, IRL, NASCAR, NHRA, IMSA, or USAC professional competition license? (I am guessing not) Because if you dont you wont be able to be licensed by the FIA and you wont be able to get a Grand American License afaik.

A GA license also costs $600 per year for GA membership plus $225 for FIA licensing.

Of course lets not forget the $2000 per race, per car entry fee, crew fees, entrant fees, etc, etc.....youre probably looking at a minimum of $5000 just in fees to run ONE race.



Lets Take your $5000 for fees, youll need a $65,000 car(to buy a used one), at least $2,000 in tires, $1500+ in timing electronics, $1000+ for suit, $800+ for HANS, $800+ for helmet, shoes, gloves. lets say $200+ in fuel.
This is just bare minimums for ONE car, for ONE race, assuming that nothing breaks, you dont practive much, and you teleport your car and crew.

Theres a reason cars have sponsors, it isnt cheap(well compared to other pro-racing it isnt expensive, but anyway)

 

I can't wait to see these babys in person. Walkins Glenn baby!

 

Yea I've done my reaserch and yes its expensive ass hell lol but I was just wondering bout the car if im not gonna be able to run my sc what's the point of trying. I was reading bout getting the scca and whatever else I need and hoping for a sponsor and pray that my car doesn't break down to crash it in the process.

 

You can run your car. That is you can run an LSJ. But youll need a full cage, youll need a full Koni 28 Series suspension, youll need the required engine management system, unless you plan to run the stock setup.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that there is NO F'N WAY you can race your street Balt, or alternately drive a built race Balt on the street, assuming you had the easily $20,000 just to make it legal, nevermind competitive.

Have you ever seen a Koni Challenge Balt up close?


Good luck. SCCA SSC racing is much more accesible and cheaper to boot, you can get a ready to race car for under $20k.
