There is a painfully low level of pregame chatter here. The challenge is 2 weeks away........

I made a private bet last night.  Don't want to embarrass them too bad since it's obvious that they're going to lose.

I'm still thinking about bringing the rx8 down.  

I guarantee it will destroy all other gm 60 degree v6 swapped Blue Rx8s in Gainesville on that particular weekend.

 

(Am I doing the trash talking correctly?)

We have a very strong showing of at least 6 former Georgia Tech Wreck Racing students coming this year, but most of us aren't active on the forum. My money is on a certain turbo Miata winning it all... No not yours, Stampie. Nope, not Jonathan's either.

If i won it all with a turbo miata i would probably retire from competing in the event and end in a high note lol

I must remain unbiased and not trash talk this year due to my status as concours judge.
 

I may un-retire for 2025

Was it that some crazy looking guy with a beard would toss them into a dumpster? You still haven't paid me for the last time!

If you want to un-retire in 2025, I know where there's a Corolla to be finished.

You know my number, and also I'm picking up something with a $0 start point this summer that should swallow an engine and transmission I have sitting around

In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :

Do I just have to taunt people to get to finish the Corolla?

 

Most people take months or years to build a kitcar.  We are attempting it in 24 hours in a Best Western parking lot.   I feel like the only smack I can lay down is on others who think they may qualify for most spectacular failure

He knows who wants to finish the Corolla if he doesn't feel up to it
