Needs moar front swaybar. BTW, do you want mine? shoot me a PM.

i think the best part of the challenge was the end where A&M worked extremely hard on their car all night and all day and finally got it running in the last minutes to make a few runs in it. Good teamwork there to an epic finish on their part. its things like that that make events like this exciting. in all the whole challenge was awesome and someday wish to bring a car of my own to come out and compete with some of the most creative people I've ever met.

WOW!!!!

This car is everything I wanted when I was 16 and driving a Plymouth Reliant SE. Awesome work making a sedate car look incredible.

I'm positively going to try to build that for next year. The body is going to have to be made out of milk cartons to come in under $2012, but I'm positive I can do it.

Looks like a giant killer to me. needs more sidecar lean.

OUT RIGGERS! That's what it needed!

If they were long enough they'd fit on the other side of the cones and they could get perfect runs all day long.

By a positively nice guy! It was a pleasure having John as a judge; he really seemed to "get it."

We had an awsome time. When I first came up with the idea of a mid engined PU Some people thought I had lost it. Of course those whos opinions actually matter, Knew I could do it. With my brother Stans help, we did do it. Our goal was to build a challenge car (whatev) that would push our skills. It had to be able to pull street duty when done. It is plated and insured. I drove it from the hotel to the track, both days. And by the time it is done it will have cruise control, AC, and get about 30mpg! And Still beat a new Boss 302!!! I can not thank enough my brother Stan, for his help and for getting me into GRM. Thanks to Per for his ideas that trimmed 5 seconds from my time. And for future pointers that WILL be done befor next year. Thanks to Steve for so fun to hang arround. And everyone for making it a family (albeit dysfunctional) group. My only dissapointment was being told to shut down while in the burnout box without having even done a burnout. But that may have been a blessing. It was brought to our attention that we have severe bumpsteer in the back, could have been disasterous at speed. We are correcting it now. So I can continue to drop off my 5yr old to knidergarten in it. His classmates think it is cool, his teacher doesn't know what to think. Perfect!! Thanks to all. Dorsey Brothers Racing

Big chunk of awesome to you guys also

Oh so close

Here's to $2012

The thing I love the most about the challenge is being able to hang out with a group full of "weirdos" who actually build some of the things spinning around in my head.

I don't autocross, I don't follow racing of pretty much any kind, I pay very little attention to sports, I only sort of follow our local football team (because the whole towns mood depends on it). My one serious hobby is the challenge. Most of the time I am very thankful for it.

Oh and here's to the next generation. SVrex's son rode in the evil handling Mustang for the first run, he later rode in the family GTi and after told his Dad the Mustang was scary....it was

That is him being tossed around in the newest ride bound for Universal Studios

You may have permanently damaged L'ilRex!

You gotta work really hard to make a Mustang handle that much worse than it did when it was stock!
