well the last few weeks, me, my old man, and his mate have been thinking about building a saloon car to race around barbagallo.
after watching them go round and round today as the support race for the V8 super cars we decided to give it the green light and go ahead.
well first off it started with us deciding on which model to use, it was either a VN or VT commodore or a EB or AU falcon, well off course i have a VN commodore out the back so i guess that decides it
basically a quick paint job rebuild with all the goodies... that are allowed by cams off course, a mild V6, Try and find a sponsor and off we go
most off the work will be done by my old mans mate, off course i'll be racing it
see how long it lasts before it ends up in a wall
anyhow this VN used to be the family shopping cart for my family its only just recently ran out (or nearly ran out of rego) its got 550,000 k on it and its an Auto
first on the list is to lighten it up ie get rid of useless stuff for the track and find a T5

The saloon catagory is very regulated on what you can and can't use
New project means less Torana money.... so I guess you like a shed full of pulled apart unfinished cars ?
A saloon car that runs even mid field will set you back $30k+ to build from scratch

it should be pretty cheap to build it wont be much. but to mantain it, it will be alot. Not much money is going into the build coz as i said my dad's mate has most of the stuff for the saloon car as he was gonna build one himself but now he has medical problems and can't but he's happy to be part of the pit crew.
and the Torry is on the top of my list my old man and his mate can play around with it, if they want but i'm not till the torrys done

Hey Josh, (honest question here) have you ever had any racing experience? Karts, junior sedans, speedway or anything? or are you planning to just jump in and give it a go?
From memory, the cams licence to do competitive RACING events is like 2k+ a year too.
