How Many Miles a Year

[NoRiceInside]

This place is kinda dead so.
How many miles a year do you put on your classic and how many shows and races do you atend
In 4 months i do about 15 races and a car show about 5 times a week. Puting about 4,000 miles in that time. sorry i trailer it to the track(set on kill mods in sig) i break stuff. The cars in Mass. so 4-5 months is about it.

Probably around 2,000 miles a year. Hot August Nights in "reno" every year. Good Guy's once a year. Haven't been to the track in years. :(

I got too much money in my 70 Bird to race it and couldnt replace it if something happend to it.I have put about 12,000 in 13 years since I have had it.

Ram Air III :drool: :drool:


Whats with the no racing stuff. blah

So far my Chevelle has a whopping 150 miles on it in about 6 weeks. That works out to about 1,300 per year.

And I will race mine, just not yet.

[BET IT]

when i had mine, i averaged 2-3k miles a year, and showed it monthly at small sonic-like car shows........man do i miss it.....:(

I got the #s on how many 67 Chevelles SS were made 63,006 only less than 12,772 verts were made. 1970 T/A production was 1,339 auto and 1,769 sticks for a total of 3008 made.So they made 20X more of those than T/A,now which ones are more rare? Thats why I dont race mine. :)

Yeah, yours is pretty rare, and I never disputed the rarity issue. Why not find and race a car whose production numbers are high, and therefore more plentiful?

I'm hesitant to race mine only because I have a few dollars in it, and dollars don't come my way easily :)

just wish i had the time and money to finish mine to put miles on it :(

[Red Alert]

Shoot, I put barely 3000 a year on the Velle. I attend a few shows, but mostly town driving, hitting up the local cruise spots to terrorize the ricers :D

I am comutting with it this week (270 miles) and gas at $2.25 a gallon, its getting expensive. If I had to drive this the whole month, fuel alone would cost me over $240 and I only work 4 days a week :( Eh, more fun to drive than any newer car (exceptions there are) and I own it outright so no payments of any kind.

Are you going to the Pismo Show this year?

SS, not sure. I do have a friend with a 67 white blown big block Chevelle in the Santa Cruz area that has mentioned this as well, I will talk to him about it again. When is this being held?
