$2008 Challenge Info

I registered for myself plus 3, looks like I only need me plus 1, any chance I can get a refund at the late date for the other 2? or am I relegated to finding challangers that underbought?

I'm going to chat with Alan and Steve at Nats next week.

You need to email me for specific challenge refund issues.

Challenge entry is open until 9/15, but number requests are no longer being accepted. Number panels are ordered.

Hi Tim, I heard that Friday morning you are going to have free fresh donuts for everyone at the $2008 challenge! Is that true?

I also heard rumor of a Shamon/diety/Yogurt type to come in to ward off rain for Drags .

Okay, okay, registration sent via Priority mail with chocolatey goodness. Sorry, had to wait for my boss to approve my vacation. :D

Here's hoping the GTX even runs after leaving it with my brother for a year! It may be a fun (read: painful) week getting it ready!

We haven't gotten with Krispy Kreme for this event, as its logistically a lot harder for us to get the donuts there (2 hours from 'our' krispy kreme).

so if registration is still open I can get a refund on my 2 extra's? who do I need to talk to?

How much electric power does the donut machine need??

Ducky, how many times have you been to this event? email me and I'll get those refunded.

where are the e-mails addresses? sorry but the new site sucks, I e-mailed someone last night

Alan will be at the challenge but will not be at nationals this year.

My wife is driving to Destin and I need to meet her there after the Challenge. It would be great if I could catch a ride from somewhere near Huntsville AL to the challenge and then over to west Florida (Destin). Anyone going these directions????

What is the cost for spectators?

zero.....

Per (from tom's 'puter)

registered me plus one yesterday. woohoo! now all i have to do is finish my car....

Al -- I'm glad to see you'll be at the Challenge this year. I'd really like for you to drive the V8 944. I'll try to make it not suck.

I sent my paperwork a couple of weeks ago, emailed per this thread but still have not received any confirmation of my entry.

Ill be there as a spectator friday , try as we did, couldnt get enough bugs worked out of the car to make it even remotely competitive in time. BUT, Were going to come cheer you guys on and hang out out for the day...

My project will be built in three weeks, I will be happy if it just finishes....the RX7 will wait for next year

Man, I'm jealous of all the fun y'all will have this year.

Went last year (v8-RX7, Teim Doosh Kanoo), but this year we're doing the LeMons race that's like 60 miles from home and also happens to be 2 weeks post-GRM-2K8. The timing is just too tight, not to mention the confluence of funds it'd require, and time off from work.

As it is, we're virtually done with 'building' the LeMons car (another RX7, ha!), but it's far from actually done in the sorting and proofing sense. It'll likely fail in the first 2 hours anyway, but oh well!

ubiquitous 'look at our stuff' link... :) LeMons car pic-gallery

It performed burnouts yesterday, though I was on the couch nursing a hangover at the time. I am told it was glorious... ahem .. yes... as glorious as a weezy 13b can muster on rock-hard, 20yr-old tires that have more dry-rot than Phyllis Diller (juuuusst barely!).

Next year though, we'll return! (hopefully)

For next year's Challenge: How would I assign a fair value to a shell thats is essentially stock, stripped of everything but suspension and wiring?

coming to spectate with the Bro in tow. We have to stay down the road at the La Quinta but will hang at the home hotel to catch the competitors entrances...

Looks like I'm coming back with last years entry since the engine in this years didn't want to cooperate with me. I've been using it as my DD for the past year and have tweaked a few things, hopefully it will get to run the whole Challenge this year. ( no rain out)

La Quinta huh, will check them out, thanks for the tip...ok we're booked in there

I'm coming to spectate on Friday. What time are things going to get started?

If any other spectators want to hang and shoot the E36 M3, I may end up there on my own now, so shoot me a message.
