So I know the Challenge is late this year but somehow it's already September. So who's going and what are you bringing? Who's going to win this year? Will Andy make a triumphant return? Will Hong Norr put down the beer and pick up a wrench? Will the drag strip be a pool of oily car blood from a full day of racing? Let the fun begin!
only 70 days to go
I'm going, if someone could tell me when the entry deadline is....
Bringing my daily driver again. This time with 100% more boost than last year. (No, really.)
I was wondering if there was going to be a "who's attending", or "smack talk" thread.
Swankforce. The deadline is usually around 30 days before the event. I plan to send in the application after we test the car on 9-22. I'd hate to send in the money on the 15th, then blow up the car a week later. (Which is Likely for any Challenge car.)
Oh, we are bringing a '94 Mustang (SN-95). We brought a '96 in $2010 (see avatar) but this one is much meaner. We caution small children and pregnant women before use.

I seem to recall being allowed to enter chump/lemons cars, possibly in their own sub-category? Am I dreaming, or is that correct? That would be fun, but I'd have to go back and look over our budget to see what we really spent.

rule 28, "special class" Must still meet all budget rules.
I am planning on bringing the Sciricco.
And mndsm will be there in an 88 MX6 GT.
So there will be two of them there to make Steve Hoelscher rip his hair out.

Bought it through the $20xx classifieds on this board. No big secrets at all. (;))
Where have you been? I thought everyone knew about it (and was still pissed at me for it!)
We should be there again. Hopefully with a 68 Mustang. We are not planning on bringing back the chumpcar. We figured two class wins in a row was enough.
(1st year uncontested, 2nd year had one other chump racer)

We're bringing the Trans Am back for another go.
I've got two years of autocross seat time and some new V710s.
I might try to arrange a show for that weekend.

Oh yeah? Well the 68 mustang with have couple year old Nexen 3000's (thats right, three zero zero zero) on 17X9 steel wheels and a stock 302/T-5.
And it hasn't run in over ten years, I've never autocrossed it and it is still not running enough to drive it.
This has the markings of a 'murican muscle show down.
I will be there f150 on a Malibu frame. Chevy powered.
