Unsage RacingHappiness is the corner.
Last update: 6/30/06
Welcome to the home of Unsage Racing, where you can follow the adventures of a low budget, grassroots racer and his self-built 1984 BMW 318i race car in an epic (and probably doomed) quest to prove that "budget," and "racing" can be said in the same sentence. You can read about Sage's experience through a series of articles about fixing, preparing, sorting, tracking and racing his $1500 BMW beginning in April of 2001 and continuing until the present.
