Count me in!

I'll be there too.

I'll be out of Gainesville in a few years. Move the Challenge to wherever I am!

I'm in for the $2008.99 and plan on sending in my registration form when I get back in town.

I'm in as long as I don't have to miss a LeMons race. This is gonna be fun.

I haven't seen this commented on in a while. How is the whole West-Coast Challenge thing coming?

Gotta have high hopes so that someday maybe a Midwest Challenge can be organized

Just gave away my rusty Fiat to the local Lemons Fiat team so they have spares to finish their theme. I think they've figured that the $500 car is costing them $5000 to get it and them to Thunderhill and back. Granted the rollcage, tires and safety equipment are necessary and the labor is "free" but it isn't cheap to go racing, no matter what.

Now that the Fiat is gone, I'll submit my entry for the West Coast Challenge and if I can't afford to go, at least I'll have made a concerted effort.

You'd think they could come up with something better than "LeMons South" for the SC event. I'm just sayin.

August at Buttonwillow!!! Ouch!! Might not want to be so quick about ripping those AC systems out!
