1999 NB Miata / Spec Miata
This is our Spec Miata that started its life as a 1999 NB Miata. We had a significant help in the build from Planet Miata. The car is primarily driven by Vicki but is capable of being adjusted to fit a driver of up to 6′ 8″. For instance at max size capability, Bill’s eye level is at or below the level of the top of the steering wheel. (Pretty impressive for a car as small as a Miata)

Our B Spec Honda Fit / Sundae Cup Car
This was a 2015 Honda Fit that was built by Chris Taylor and competed successfully in BSpec racing prior to our life with it. It was an emergency purchase to initially be used in the One Lap of America but has mostly been raced in HPDE events and at GRIDLIFE. Tons of opportunities in GRIDLIFE, NASA, and the SCCA, as well as many other racing organizations.
1993 Honda Civic
This is our primary budget endurance car. Its engine is still a D16 stock engine and the only upgrades from stock are brakes and safety related. Much like a village bicycle, this car has been the first race car for so many drivers that it is hard to track without our excel file.
2002 BMW 330Ci
Our highest performance car, by a wide margin, this car was built by a friend to be our version of a largely SpecE46 car that we altered for safety (more roll cage attachment points) and endurance racing/durability (trans and diff coolers, etc.). This is Bill’s primary race car and our higher level endurance racing car for the team. Hopefully, it will make its way to the NASA 25 at Thunderhill. Fingers crossed.
This E36 3-series BMW is by far our best performing car to this point. We are modifying the theme over the 2019-2020 off season to improve upon our rather rushed Captain America “theme” we installed at the track in under an hour. The car started out as a 328 and then was upgraded to be mostly M3 suspension and brakes. Also, Alan likes the big wing. Car was written off shortly after the Deadpool picture was taken at the Charlotte Roval.
2003 Chevy S10
The second generation racing truck from the Three Pedal Mafia. We have raced it a few times to this point and are very excited to have this join our team. It is raced primarily by our Monkey House sister team led by Jeremy.
This Chevy truck that has a long (and distinguished?) lemons history with our friends at Three Pedal Mafia. Its been many themes prior to our current one and will hopefully be many more. This should be the foundation car for our team in the coming races as we progress.
1984 Porsche 944 and our 1989 Porsche 944
Originally targeted for our first lemons car we were going to build from scratch, but did not prove to be a good path to follow. We never raced it but at $1,100 it is a decent car to work on and may be used as a daily driver someday.
1984 Mustang GT Turbo/SVO mix
The second car from Prompt Critical proved to be a another good addition to out team. It started out black, but ended up red and blue. And as our founder has often said, “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth overdoing” so we ended up running the Mustang and the Capri in our second race at Thompson CT. Racing two Cars is much more than racing one Car, kind of like kids. Thsi car is currently being run under Alan’s domain under the new livery as a MooStang.
1974 Capri
Our first car we could use and enter. It was raced successfully in 24 hours of Lemons races by the Prompt Critical team out of South Jersey. We ended up purchasing both of their cars and this is how our team started. This car was raced in our first ever Lemons race at NJMP.
1986 Honda Accord
We had to start somewhere, but this wasn’t the right place. The price was right, but the car was definitely wrong. We found a dirt track car locally. It was pretty quick and had a “roll bar” in it. Not knowing better we bought it for $500 and then found out the roll bar wasn’t close to passing for what we needed at Lemons and the car was past where we could potentially try to fix it. Scrapped it and moved on.
