At one time, it was a very common sight at autocrosses: a Neon on AR-24 wheels. Today, not so much, but we have the memories. In 2006, Bill Ehrman and company entered a 1997 model that they had purchased for a hundred bucks.

It's crazy to me that I've been racing that car longer than my daughter has been alive...
It's more powerful for sure and it also leaks a lot fewer fluids.
And spends less time airborne?

This photo has me curious... it looks like Roos' but I thought the switch from M2 to MF/MR happened before we started running there.
That was definitely at Roo's Farm. The one that you couldn't drive a trailer up the hill.
