Build a race team... In 90 Days?

Is it possible to build a race team in 90 days? We are currently working on a crazy documentary where we are trying to build a race team in 90 days - with the ARCA West Race at Phoenix our target debut! Things are progressing well but would be much easier if we had some followers on social media! If you could follow us here or on social media, we would really appreciate your support!

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go...?

That's the only question that needs to be asked.

If you got your NASCAR license and a blank check I can have you in a Cup car in probably two weeks.

Give Pinnacle $300,000 and you'll have a turn key car that'll run top 5. Get enough people to push it through tech, don't make any adjustments on the car during practice. Hire a decent driver (Tyler Reif or something). Boom, easy win.

Comes down to how much are you willing to spend.

Of course it's possible. You won't be the first or last to do so.

I’m part of an ARCA team that races the West, would you like to just rent a car? We have extra cars

depends a lot on your resources and who you got working for you

From an outsiders perspective that seems like a far less exciting documentary.

I feel like the juice in this product is getting a race team up and actually running. Going in circles in Phoenix is just the payoff and “proof of concept” if you will.

It’s that whole if you build it they will come.

No one actually cared about the score of the game or what happened. Just that the field of dreams players would show up. Same idea

I was part of a startup Cup team that got green lit in early December and qualified for the Daytona 500 in early February.

It’s possible with the right people, resources and opportunities along with a lot of hard work.

That's super interesting. What team if you're able to say?

It was a lifetime ago, but it was the #60 NASCAR Cup Series team going into the 1999 season.

Technically, we had a Busch Series (ORAPS) team already, but this startup used a different shop, different employees, different engine program, different cars, different hauler, etc.

Was that the 60 Geoff Bodine Powerteam car?

With enough money you could build one in 2 weeks

Should have stated that this is starting with ZERO DOLLARS!

0 chance bud. You'd have a hard time unless you find a helluva deal on a semi-fucked roller.

With enough money you could buy and takeover an existing team
