we can deck screw in plexiglass.  We'll fab up a push bar for two reasons.  One so I can pit Troy and also to mount enough Hellas that no one else can see but us.

Looks like it has a race performance hi-flow muffler!!! I especially like the LW gas cap. Haha

I have a fiberglass hood for it...

It's a $500 claimer class - we don't want it to look good.  I've got a white metal hood that will go on it.  And a blue,silver and pink hatch off the race car i parted. 

Yes, structural integrity will be key, as I am betting PIT maneuvers will become popular between our team and Troy's... 

We may also have to have some defensive modifications. ..

I'm thinking more like Mk2 bumper covers, with 2" Square thick wall steel tube (think hitch receiver) bumper, with Sharp pieces pointing back and out, hidden under the cover, until someone trys to tap us...

LeMans is the big dollar historical race in france.  LeMons is the backwoods race with $500 beaters here in the US.

Just bought 8 new race tires that are a couple years old, but never used.  They won't be super sticky, but they will hold up to the heat/abuse much better than street tires.  Cheap, too.
