Black miata I'm trying to think what would make it stand out I guess rather than cleaning the orange wheels for the concourse we painted them black. I'd bet it was th only car in challenge history to have a full service history.
The MR2 is close exhaust/supercharger plumbing and wiring are what we have left. Should know by week's end if its joining us. If not my 318is is just under challenge money. Our B15 SER spec V rallyx car is well under challenge money. There are options many many options.
The whole living on another continent thing is a bit of an obstacle....
But I'd love to make it to the challenge one day as a competitor, hell, even as a spectator it'd be worth it just to see the craziness in the flesh.

NZ. I talk to fred on a regular basis, super cool guy. Last year when I told hobiercr to take someone to the Jerk Center(a Jamaican restaurant) Fred chimed in with perfect timing “what is that some kind of mutual masturbation club?”
In reply to GTXVette :
I did say a bit of an obstacle, not completely insurmountable, but definitely makes it a little harder. Still, it's on the "to do list"
Does or did Fred at one stage have a Kia 2.0l swapped Mazda b2600?
I would gladly sign up if GRM brought back the carved Roast Beef and the Ham soiree and those little potatoes and endless salad . 3 kegs of beer one for Thursday /Friday and then Saturday nights and
with the challenge entries putting on a craft beer challenge .
In reply to Karl La Follette :
So in other words, Free Food and Beer. Seems to be a no-brainer...
I'm working like hell to have my entry done by the 6th. It's going to be a close call, and still ugly as hell, if we make it. We're not expecting to win, but we're hoping to have a really good time in the process =)
Make the event fun. You might be at risk of niching down past GRM, and into a group that just wants to argue about roll cages all day.
There are Hooptiecon and Radwood events all over the damn place...people are going because it looks like a cheap, fun time with cars. Do the craft beer challenge, and hope that guy above with the WTF-bus shows up again. Award extra points for period-correct dress during the consourse preso. Have some of your friends bring out cool/weird cars they have in their garage. Have a guy there with a welder that can teach me how to weld...or even weld aluminum! Bring a portable rack and teach people how to do DIY string alignments, or how to tweak common suspension setups. Have the professional drivers discuss how they would attack the course. Set up a spray tent and let people try to lay down a coat of paint using a Harbour Freight compressor and gun, give the setup away to the person that does the best job. Have a DJ, or just leave some guitars, bongo drums and beer laying around (after the race is done, of course).
The editorial stuff about past challenge teams is great too-every one of these builds has it's share of drama, genius, heartbreak and hard work.
that guy above with the WTF-bus ? Mestinks goth does protest to much 
In reply to Karl La Follette :
In his defence Karl, WTF was what I said to myself the first time I met you. In a good way of course.
In reply to Karl La Follette :
Ha! Definitely meant it as a compliment.
Defence hippohead.com Go Bucs ! Go Bucs !
If Karl put a brass pole on the bus, and brought the entertainment. And burritos. The pole should have a hole cage
