Anybody know how good or bad that lap time is just curious

 

[tbm3fan]

Hard to tell since it depends on which of the three different road courses are used. The full course of 2.52 miles has the record of 1:12.688 @ 110 mph in an Audi R8. The NASCAR course of 2.22 miles has the record time of 1:25 @ 83.624 mph. There is also an Indy course and a motorcycle course. Which one the LeMons runs I couldn't find out but assume it is the full course for 150 laps as it is an endurance race.

Perfect...........it's green.

That's like a 67.8 mph average that can't be too awful bad for a basically stock slant 6.

I'd drive it.

i'll give credit to the work put into it and the creative interchanging of parts, but why the cones?

I have a 73 scamp and a 74 dart sport here hmmmmm chump car basics.

At a $4 asking price, you could part it out if necessary and make a decent profit. That is of course ONLY if the car isn't worth saving.
