The Green Brick is an inspiration for me as well but to be honest my car won’t see many road races or track days, if any. The Green Brick was a road racer and this will be an autocrosser. I live in a prime location for auto x. Logistically, roadcourses aren’t as do-able as auto x.
Tom’s car is probably the car this one will follow after the most. I’m planning on a couple of different things than what Tom did but really kind of picking up where he quit developing the car like floater , brakes, stronger engine. Tom had some good exposure to people who know how to drive and improved a lot as a driver because of that. By associating within the same circle I hope I can developer into the same caliber of driver. This ain’t no pro-touring deal, I went down the road with an E-body ‘cuda. I’m ready to do some competitive driving.
I have long term goals of building a road race car but it won’t be in an A-body. My E-body will serve in that capacity and it will be far down the road.
I am looking at it this way, building an auto cross car will help me develop my driving skills and I will enjoy it for several years while I build my war chest for the ‘cuda road race build.
