What's the most amount of times the same car has competed at the GRM Challenge?
We brought the silver Miata that became the Mumpkin 3 times. I think Dave has brought the MR 1.5 at least that many times. Georgia Tech brought their Miata at least 3 times. So whatever the record is it needs to be more than 3 times.
The reason i ask is because i'm giving serious thought to selling the Celica and instead just focusing on beating the holy dog E36 M3 out of the MX6 at every event i can (and obviously the GRM Challenge every year) for the next.... decade.
I forgot how fun it was to actually compete vs. spending a year or two building a car. (Escort.)
The catch is that i think i LIKE the Celica a bit more, but the MX6 is probably 90% "there," and is likely capable of at least 80% of the performance the Celica ever would be, and is still usable as a daily driver. (Something the Celica won't see.)
The Silver Bullet has been there four times, I think...
And I'm pretty sure there was a fourth time where I can't recall its theme.
The ScAries has been there 3 times: the first year was the red version and the past two years it has been the flared beast that it is today.
The External Combustion guys have brought each of our cars there at least twice. the original E30 has been there possibly 3 times, and the red Miata and Jeep have been there twice.
My old CRX was there 4 times I think. I brought it in 2002, and then Hong Norr brought it in 2006, 2007, 2008. I think it won overall in 08.
Ok well this sounds fun... i think i'm just going to bring this car every year as long as i have it.
Luckily there's still plenty of room in the budget to keep it interesting.

LMAO
I forgot about the 1st year when you towed it with your brother's Jeep.
I get bored after 3, my 240z was there for 03,04 and 05. The Z31 was there for 07, 08 and 09, and now the MK1.5 for 10, 11 and 12.
Over those 5 years the attended the competition with 3 different engines, 4 different liveries, and 2 different roll cages. So, at least it changed from year to year.

It went as a silver GLHS also.
I thought that car went down from '00-'05. The first they brought was the minivan in '99, then the Bullet, then the Puzzle car Charger in '06-'08.
