Why Dan? Are you saying you may be back racing?

I heard that if you want to get into racing that you should buy a car that is set up already? plus I have not been in the racing scene for a while, so just wondering if there is any truth to the advertisment and what they said about the car being a front runner. ? Hi RGEE

Dan if you figure the cost of the stuff there, it isn't a bad deal. Ask if you can leak test or compression test the engine to determine its health if you are seriously considering buying it. If it checks out it is a pretty good deal (IMHO).

Dan Websters car I think the asking price is $1000.00. It's been a while since I spoke to or saw the disappearing one....... There is an ad in the 'Jam Classifieds regarding Dan's car and contact info.

If that's Webster's car, it has no motor for a grand ($1,000). Now that I look at it, it reminds me of a car that used to wack me in the rear, then pass me when I ran the enduros in 2002-3. I think it might be LIL JOHN ALWAYS??

Umm, I think we are confused here. The black car from Craigslist isn't Dan Webster's. If Dan still has the car I think he does, it was originally campaigned by Artie Veltman in the late 90's. No idea about any lead that may have been added though......

There is no lead at all. The car is set up legally for regular enduro's. And it handles better than anything in the grands. As far as the motor- if I'm not mistaken it needs 2 pistons. The car is worth every penny.

I bumped into Dan's brother Tom this morning. He tells me Dan's car has only 7 or 8 races on it. Which means it isn't the car I thought it was. But knowing the Webster Clan as I do, I have to agree with Ralph that the car is worth the loot, even if the engine needs to be freshened up.

Maybe this thread should be called Danny Webster's Enduro??? LOL. When I raced with him ,his car was a blue chevy malibu, then he went to the black Monte...yeah, Monte .. Smart driver, outside always and car ran on rails.

That enduro car is at the same shop that the modified that is in Craig's list is at and the last I heard, the drive line is in very good condition. The car was built for his son, but I guess either his son does not want to run anymore, or maybe financial problems, as I heard the basement of his house was flooded a couple month ago, and he lost valuable items he had stored there.

UPDATE- I'm sitting here right now with Danny Webster The car is a 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo. It is set up for GRAND ENDURO. The car is complete with the exception of the engine which needs a set of heads and 2 pistons.

Hey Ralph, I guesse you did not read the first line of the listing. It says that it is a 76 CUTLASS. Also, if you look at the picture of the car, you will notice it has 4 DOORS and as we all know the MONTE CARLO never came as a 4 door vehicle, no matter what year it was or is.

Crazy Horse - My car is running great, as a matter of fact we just started doing some minor bodywork saturday night. I have had some medical interferences this racing season. I just got the word from my Doctor last week that there is a good possibility that I will be able to race in the last race of the season at Riverhead.
And Motorhead- I was never involved in the Craigslist car conversation- all my posts on this thread have been in reference to Danny Webster's car, which is a 2 door, blue, Monte Carlo.

A simple phone call would clear up this mystery.

I know a simple phone call would solve this.. and I was wondering who was going to bring that up?? You're the winner. It was just for conversation anyway.. being the ad says front runner, I would figure that someone would know? Being I have not been around the track for a while (been major R/Ving/ camping) Thanks pit .
