I am assuming you are referring to a top autocross finish driven by the team, without a pro.

We plan to challenge that claim this year.

I blew my '13/'14 Challenge car out of budget this year with a few mods and a valve job.

can I get away with calling the valve job maintenace and undo my mods?

Built 9, have 5, 3 are running and able to return to the challenge with a seatbelt change. You have one, Patgiz has one, one is raced in NJ, one was junked.

Maybe I'll bring something cheap and compete for the first time this year. My current flip car would qualify and I have stuff to bolt on and make 320whp and good handing, and even some dumb wide slicks all around too.

When is the challenge? October? I'll go look it up...

Whorry crap Quasi? I was wondering if any one from the eVil crew was still around.

If you're serious I'll ask my car whore friend in detroit. He might even have a merkur or a Z31 turbo to sell cheap.

Procuring a 1994 Muffedstain from Dean for the Challenge (entry paid for as of 2:00amEST) after the Challenge the entire Muffedstain will be parted out to build the FAIRMONSTER for $2016.

I've told Joey48442 to take Thursday and Friday off as he will be in the copilot seat.

Quasi, was your entry number less than 20?
If yes, you'll be in the General Tire Challenge.

Last year, that meant you got to drive 3 autox passes in one of two identical Fiat Abarths fitted with General Tires. Each car made 30 (or more) back to back course runs. The wear to the tires was significant, but the last passes were the fastest.

Hhhmm. My $2015 project is looking like it's going to be derailed due to some work commitments, but a reunion of sorts might be fun. I still have my flamed black Shadow that I ran in '08, '09 and '13, my brother has the ScAries that I ran in '10, '11 and '12 as well as the Hong CSX that ran in '12. I know Barry still has the Silver Bullet Omni that he ran repeatedly in the early years. He also still has the Neon he brought down last year.

Maybe I'll shelve the Rampage project since it's not going to get done anyway and get some of the old ones back up to snuff.

Our project took a major hit this week. We hurt cylinder #5. We hope to fix i,t but time is the big issue with work ramping up. We may be there for the party.

Memories of my Michigan Ice Racing days in the XR. Lots of fun but hard to heel toe downshift in critical moments. The first car I ran at an autocross where people wanted me to wait so they could watch my runs. The thing looked crazy going around the course with steelies and Dominator tires smoking. Get it Quasi Get it!!!!!!!!!!!

I had planned for a return to the 2015 challenge before I knew it would be a reunion...now I really have to make it. I plan on entering my lemons car (4 door dodge stratus) if I don't break it at CMP next month and I will also bring my $2007/2008 challenge car (AWD turbo Mitsubishi Mirage) to run the exhibition class...still a working progress but always a fun car and even though over the challenge budget it still follows the spirit of the challenge

Or how about I bring it with the head resurfaced and a new head gasket. We can install said head in the parking lot. I got the correct injectors so it should run with the oem computer.
