Candidate cars for RMVR in Hiding
Here is a new approach to increasing the number of cars racing in RMVR, find them. In other words, here is a list of already eligible or relevant to RMVR. Our mission is to find them, and match them with people would like to race them. So scout those barns, sheds, junk yards, back of old gas stations, and report your finds to RMVR Race Central.
This is my first pass at a list of candidates:
