Professional motorsport is a cold, hard place. If you want to run with the big dogs, you can't just build a car in your mom's garage and show up, right? Wrong. One guy did just that. Here's his amazing story.
This is the multifaceted tale of Bill Caswell, a man who bought a crapcan off Craigslist to run against $400,000-plus rally cars in a World Rally Championship race. It is a tale of a guy who had a welder, a bunch of credit cards, and a lot of free time but no real backing or funds. It is a story of a dude who taught himself how to build an FIA-legal roll cage because he wanted to spend the fabrication fee on race tires instead. It's the story of a gearhead who drove a rustbucket to a third-place finish in an FIA-sanctioned event............

Read this story on another forum, freakin great

thats is simply crazy. but kinda shows you dont need the best car in the world to win.

Yeah, read about this from my buddy Halston who is an E30 fanatic. I love stories like this, but that is definitely not something the average-Joe-Driver can do on his own. That takes some serious driver skill to be able to keep up and place like he did. Simply and utterly amazing!

Another Cindrella story come true! I like!
