9 time national champion D mod autocrosser for sale

This is the legendary YC-3 built by Del Long in 2002.

It is a six time national champ with Cashmore driving, two runner ups as well when various problems intruded, three Ladies championships at the hand of Denise Cashmore and too many national tour victories and podiums to list.

It is a Lotus 7 replica chassis CMC built with an Acura K20 A2 engine, a two speed Toyota Corolla tranny (3 and 4 plus R, 1 and 2 were taken off the shafts to save weight) and a Winters quick change circle trac rear end with at least 6 ratios available (change gearing in 15 minutes). The brakes all have willwood aluminum calipers and lightweight rotors. The clutch is a single disc racing clutch. Flywheel is aluminum.

The engine let go at the end of the first run of the second day at Nationals last year. Although others posted faster second day times they were unable to beat Jeff Cashmore's time on the aggregate.

We have rebuilt the motor with Brian Crower sportsman rods replacing the scats at 100 grams lighter per rod. The pistons are now 13.5s vs last years 12.5 CR Mahle. New springs, retainers and BC cams. The engine is set up to run E 85. It puts out about 250 hp at the flywheel with a lovely flat torque curve which makes it easy to launch. Shifting is optional on most courses. The quick change allows it to be fine tuned for the course for optimal urge without getting into the rev limiters. About 9000 rpm usable.

I am 67 years old and although I ran a lot last year I never really mastered this car. I have concluded that I won't ever master it. It deserves a faster driver. I'd like to recoup most of my investment if possible.

Car includes three extra sets of Real rims with tires mounted. Three sets of tires with low runs on them are mounted plus an oldish set of treaded rains. Six new Hoosiers won at nationals are included still in the box.....4 rear and 2 front.

Lots of "spare" parts included.

$27,500, will consider Formula ford trade if it has a Honda engine with an alternator. Also will consider a Lotus Elise trade. I'll consider any reasonable offer.

I will run it until sold, developing it as we run. There are some parts which can be lightened here and there and I'd love to add some downforce to the front and rear.

I have a nice 26' x 8.5 Haulmark enclosed trailer with one season on new tires. The trailer has two lights inside plus a lot of tie down tracks. $5000.
