Default ES250 Race car!

Yes, we have selected entering the 24 hr Chump Car endurance race at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) with a 1990 ES250. Reasonably quick, hopefully reliable enough but boy is it soft when attacking turns too aggressively

If someone has - or knows what we should get - in terms of better springs/shocks/swaybars I'd be very happy.

And if there are ES250 fans out there who would like to keep track on our progress feel free to check the facebook page for Scuderia Papagalli della Corsa (yes, a shameless plug for fan votes!)

Wow, you guys do keep track of the world of Lexus racing
Yes, bought that car in Asheville NC and drove it home without missing a beat. The kids got to paint it in a more race-worthy scheme, so now I'm sure it's about twice as fast as it was when it was "Buick Beige"!
Being cheap, I thought that you couldn't get the cage, seat, harness and other safety equipment for the price of this car. But we sure got to try to get it a little bit quicker in the turns...
