Need A Little Help From Cc Members To Build A Mj Race Truck

[zackcj7]

 Me and a couple friends want to build a MJ and enter it in an endurance race series. In order to get the MJ eligible we need to submit 10 for sale ads from Craigslist for an '89 MJ six cylinder for $500 or less. I have copied the actual rule below. So if anyone could give us a hand finding the ads to get the MJ approved we would be really grateful. If we do get it approved we promise to chronicle the build and subsequent race results here on Comanche Club.

 

 Here is a link to some info on the race series. http://www.chumpcar.com/index.php

 

 

 

 

2.3.3.1.4. Ten (10) “Craig’s List” advertisements for vehicles matching your car (including the exact same make, model, year and options) must be provided. All ads must represent cars in street legal, licenses, running and safe condition… without the need for more than $500 in body work or repair.)

"Race of Lemons", or something similar?  ;)

 

Gonna be tough finding 10 ads of exact matching specs - not too many MJs were ever made, much less still around now. Will keep an eye out though.

 

If you make it past this stage and want assistance in the build, post the rules and ask away - it sounds like fun. Good luck!

that's a weird rule.  how hard would it be to get friends around the country to put up fake ads?

it sounds to me like the price really does not matter as log as repairs or body work does not exceed $500...  

 

but i haven't read your attached link yet

The vehicle itself has to have an established value of $500. Which can be done with the ads.

Here are the Basic Rules

Not including the required safety equipment that you'll need – roll-cage, racing seat, racing harness -- your car must be valued at less than $500. That’s valued at, as assessed by the general market, not what you paid for it.

Personal safety gear includes a Snell SA helmet and SFI-FIA certified driver's gear.

Strip out all the interior and take out all the glass, except the windshield. Install the roll cage, seat and harness. Add some numbers and you have just created a $500 race car. Okay, so there's more to it than that, but not much. Read the rules to fill-in the blanks.

You can upgrade the brakes a little but don’t even think of adding any trick racing suspension crap. Tires are up to you... as long as they’re DOT legal and rated for treadwear according to the rules.

ChumpCar has various race formats, but they're all endurance racing... ranging from 7 hours to 36 hours. You’ll need a minimum of 3 drivers for most events – 4 for the longer events – and it's wise to have a couple of crew guys as part of the team. Get people on your team that know what end of a screwdriver to use and can think clearly at 3:19am when a wheel bearing starts to disintegrate.

If you cheat or screw-up or both... you'll be docked laps. If you come to Tech Inspection with a car that's worth $1,500... plan on starting the race about 100 laps down from everyone else. You can still run in the race and you'll have a great time... but you’ll never win. If that doesn't bother you, you're our kind of Chump!

I just read the rules... disregard my first statement...

 

sorry about that

I'm not condoning it either, I'm just saying that it's super easy to cheat around that rule since craigslist ads are free and easy to manufacture, so why make that rule?  :dunno:
