Lake Effect Racing is looking for 2 drivers for the Nelson 24 hours. We will have 6 total drivers, each driver will be driving 2 stints close to 2 hours in length. We have a professionally built Ford Focus which was formally raced in the Pirelli World Challenge and has been converted to run in the B Class with Champ. My expectations for drivers are consistent lap times that are comparative to my own and to stay out of trouble. Endurance racing is very different from sprint racing so my philosophy is run your own race and consistency wins. My expectations are that you will help with pit stops and be in the pits during the races to make sure our strategy is put in place for the races during the weekend.
If you are interested please PM or contact me at lakeeffectrac1ng@outlook.com
The rest of our schedule is:
August 11-August 12 VIRGINIA INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY: 24 Hour Enduro, Champcar
August 25 -August 26 GINGERMAN RACEWAY: 8+7 Enduros, Champcar
Sep 22-23 Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Yokohama Gran Prix 8+8 Enduros: WRL
October 6-October 7 PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL RACE COMPLEX: Champcar
October 19 – 21 Mid Ohio Sports Car Course (8.5 + 8.5) AE
What is the buy in? I run consistent mid 1:58 in a POS 110hp Lemons mustang at Gingerman, ten seconds faster in my bloated V8 mustang with 265hp.
I've never run a Focus, have however finished third in a 24 hour race at Autobahn. The only black flag ever for me was for a gas leak.
Wrenching in really what I'm better at.
Who am I kidding ain't nobody got time for that E36 M3, but It sounds like a lot of fun. Plus I would need to get a real racing license.
In reply to akylekoz :
Champcar, WRL and AER, do not require a license, but prefer some track expierence. If you are interested, whether as a driver, hanging out, or wrenching let me know. Best contact is by emailed me at lakeeffectrac1ng@outlook.com

2 seats still available for Nelson, email if you are interested.
Might want to mention Nelson is paved and has curbs. Oh, I just did!
I would LOVE to do this but this is not a good year. Good luck,
In reply to rustybugkiller :Thanks, yes I have been on the paved track, super smooth.
