Don't take the car seriously but make it functional.
A guy on here has a fc that he raced and he used a kitty litter container as a hood scoop.

Ha. 3 out of the 4 drivers are rotary guys(I have one tattooed on my arm). And one is a fabricator for a race car shop. We are just trying to finish. It's a strong 12a. Just hoping it holds up.

However we need a team theme. I.e. The "general wee" a spin off of the dukes of hazard.

We are looking for a rotary theme that would ensure us to get picked to race.

Gay pride car? Have tubs that let some glitter loose while on the track.

7Dust I think was the guy who ran the fc. His theme was a pink bunny.

we ran with lemons this weekend, and i wouldn't sweat the theme too much, it was pretty disappointing.

you should do like a half assed theme, like half a donkey or something

Theme stopped being important years back. Don't waste your money bribing the judges either.

Instead of plastering rotors all over plaster squares or Pentagon's or some other irregular polygon. Maybe they will see the humor in it.

We decided to do a spinoff of the dukes of hazard. Painting it orange, rebel flag on the roof, Dixie air horns installed already. We call it the general wee

Convertable would be nice, but the rules for an open top car are tougher.
