Well, I'm calling it: I'm registered and I have a car, so I'll be there. Sadly, due to a bunch of other cars requiring my time and commitment (aka $$$), I wasn't able to get the MadMaXRati in condition to compete, so I'm bringing back my original Challenge entry from 2017, the Saab Story 9k. In fact, the 9k was one of my highest priorities to finish (for a variety of important reasons) that hindered my work on the MadMaXRati. Looking forward to seeing everyone there, and not scattering the Saab's replacement trans across the track this time around.

Technically I started my ride to the Challenge on Tuesday and I will be on this trip for weeks so I am definitely committed to showing up.

Just registered. Heading down from Charlotte tomorrow morning.

Would have loved to compete in the under $2000 challenge, but no room for another car in my life (i.e. driveway cheeky) - so bringing my M Coupe instead.

Looking forward to meeting the people behind the usernames!

I'm out.  Something hit me last night I might make it this weekend as a watcher but at this point I can't do what I need to do to compete.

Collected a souvenir at 80mph on I-95. Luckily it's plastic and car is OK, but was a real bugger to get out from under the car. Used a strut tube I'm taking to the swap meet to gain extra clearance laugh

We made it as far as southern NC yesterday afternoon before my Flex threw a code. Turns out it's the one that might signal your water pump is about to go and take the engine with it. Just wasn't worth it to risk the drive the rest of the way, especially given the extra risk we'd be at driving through SC/GA/FL middle of nowhere in the evening.

I'm pretty bummed since this will be the last challenge I'd have been able to attend, maybe ever. sadbroken heart

 

Good luck, y'all heart
