$2009 West Coast Challenge

Aug. 21-Aug. 23

Bryce Nash took psychological warfare to a whole new level for the inaugural West Coast $2009 Challenge.

As news of his amazing AWD hybrid Fiero spread across our boards and on to Jalopnik and other sites, would-be Challengers began to wonder if they could compete.

I got 38 e-mails from the other teams explaining that they had read Bryce’s build thread and decided they couldn’t win,” said West Coast Challenge Competition Director David Chong.

Team Unit Racing was one team to take up the challenge, but they couldn’t get their Lancer finished soon enough. They made it to the Challenge Sunday—just in time to take first place in the autocross. At that point, however, Nash had already taken home first-place honors.
