My kind of folks . I am tempted to enter.



T54

[David Birchall]

If you want another driver-count me in!!

[ensign14]

It's a bit like the Plymouth-Dakar.

[Wolf]

Actually, I drive a car that could be entered about 4x under the price limit... And I wouldn't trade it for anything (well, almost).

[Twin Window]

I was up for this, right until the instant I realised that it's being held approximately 13,000 miles away...

Bugger.

[HistoricMustang]

Hey, I did the vintage scene for 10 years and most of the time let someone else drive my car so I could start drinking beer early and chase the opposite sex even earlier.

Would that same situation apply here?

Nothing like a man in a uniform walking through the paddock while the better half of the opposite sex is doing his thing in his car and I am free to impress!

Just show up with your clunker, let someone else drive and then enjoy!

I can not believe my secret to success has finally been let out to the general racing population!

Henry

[T54]

So do we want to do anything about it? I know I can bring the beer...

[West3]

If the above event is a bit too tame for you this might be of interest.

Bugger.

Likewise Stuart, I was gutted, it sounds like motorsport and fun rolled into one, but the telling remark is

1.1: Organizer Decisions: Organizer's decisions are final. If you don't like it, tough. Get your own race.

It's those last four words!!!!!!!! An English version, and for Charateee mate!!!

I see that safety-related items are not included in the $500 expenditure; so is there scope here for a really extensive roll-cage tying up all the suspension mounting points to be become, de facto the chassis?
Or am I approaching this in the wrong frame of mind?

I like the cut of your jib!! Looking at the regs and thinking "Chapmanesque" how to make it, "more fun"!!!

[T54]

Or am I approaching this in the wrong frame of mind?

I think that the whole idea is to have the frame disintegrate in the 9th hour while comfortably leading, so that the opportunity to use the Weller soldering gun arise.

[2F-001]

Nah... duct tape!

[Jack-the-Lad]

So...what would be the weapon of choice for this event?

Jack

[David Birchall]

How about an early (ish) RX7?

[TooTall]

I'm thinking AMC Gremlin, the one with a straight six and a four speed. That or a Cadillac Cimarron with the Jr. Pimp gold trim kit. One question. Will the Hells Angels be in charge of crowd control again?

Cheers,
Kurt

For Aussies and Kiwis, that's a Holden Camira!

Hmm a 2.0 litre Camira? Or a Volvo 240 maybe.

Wish there was such an event here in Oz. I'd be there in a flash.

Yes. Yes I am.


I'd love to see such an event here. I'd love motorsport to be made more accessible to ordinary people. Call it an evangelical thing, without the religion.

I was thinking of an '85 or so Buick Regal for an even 300 bucks from the Auto Trader, then 4 new over-inflated Cornell tires from Pep Boys for $120.00, the 80 bucks remaining for building the cage and the front shock towers stiffener bar. We dump the heavy bumpers and the back seat for $10.00 to a junkyard, empty the trunk from the rat droppings and the spare wheel, remove the air filter, run a couple of tanks full of fuel injector cleaner and cruise to an easy win while playing Johnny Mathis cassettes if no one has stolen the Delco radio from the pile.

What do you say?

[cosworth bdg]

But do not involve a GM or FORD product............

[Bondy]
