What
is it?
- 1984 Buick Regal T-Type WH1 (Only
1,163
made)
- 3.8 liter 231 cubic inch fuel injected V6.
- Single turbo (no intercooler).
What
are we doing with it?
Well, we *were* going to compete in the $2005
Grassroots Motorsports Challenge, but due to a family emergency
the project stalled out. A year has passed and that's behind
us now, and now we're trying to have it ready for the $2006
Grassroots Motorsports Challenge.
The rules are simple, just spend $2006 on a car that can drag
race, autocross and be concours judged. Teams have to buy, build
and prepare a car while facing a strict budget cap of only $2006.

Ok...
but why THAT car?
Yeah... we know. This car does NOT look good. In fact, it looks
like crap. How it ends up running is what'll matter, so here's
why we're building this car:
- All of the Team Members currently own a Turbo Buick or
have owned them in the past.
- We know how to work on them and make them FAST!. Two of
us have street driven 10 second cars.
- We've got a great network of other Buick owners to get ate-up
used parts off of.
- Considering the money we spend on the other cars, $2006
split 5 ways on this car is a cheap way to go racing with
a "new" car.
- We can't wait to see the look on peoples faces when they
see how well this bucket does in the drag & auto-x events!
