Hi All,
Getting interested in Chump racing, fairly new to the Chattanooga TN area so not many "car guy" friends here yet.
Anyone in this area interested in Chump? Thinking of maybe buying a Miata, or possibly a 944 or maybe another 914.
I'm not from your area, however have been racing with Chumpcar for 5 years now. I was originally hoping to build a Porsche for the series, but fell into a e30 BMW instead. At that time they were not as prevalent as they are now. It's proven to be a very competitive platform and you'll find at least 1/3 of any chump grid is made up of them. They are fast out of the box and dead reliable, however some view them with disdain because they are too popular. For that reason you might enjoy going with a different model. I've seen a couple competitive 944s, one 914 and a number of Miatas.
