BS! oh wait, mine is to, it's not quite in challenge shape but, I could autocross it. Need some more suspension work first though, hoping to get some testing time come mid August.
as far as I can tell, there is a HUGE difference between ready to autocross and "challenge ready"
a bit more brake line work and a few fittings and my car is ready to go....to an auto cross..not yet challenge ready, and probably wont be even by october, but well be there anyway...

LOL ours didn't even fire up till we got ready to load it on the trailer, to goto the challenge. Couldn't even take it around the block because of the mosquito breeding pit at the end of the driveway.
edit...fixed it that's what I get for taking pain meds and not proofreading at least twice.

You forgot to mention that it was the morning of the challenge. (BTW, no mosquitoes can grow in that puddle, too much oil!)
sigh...still a shell and a pile of parts
Challenge ready so long as they drop that pesky concourse thingy 
Not a pretty car just a strong one.

The mutant sized mosqitoes in your yard could prob breed in about anything.
though I think the ones in my yard are getting to be almost the same size.
No motor. No front or rear suspension. No fab. work done. I like to live dangerously.
I'm not 100% sure that i'm entering yet, but i've been DD'ing my Challenge car and now have less than $900 into it. It's ready enough that i'm taking it out to the drag strip tomorrow to see how she runs. I anticipate high 13s on low end Nexen tires and annihilating 1st gear.
Needs some suspension sorting and possibly megasquirt, but there's PLENTY of budget left for that.
I got the motor for mine in, and by in I mean delivered and in the garage.. Thats about it.
Car + motor - tons of work = so far from done and not much started.
