You're absolutely missing out if you're not planning on being at the $2000 Challenge presented by CRC Industries on October 25-26. Whether you're tempted by the drag racing, the autocrossing, the concours, the food (oh the food!), the valve cover racing or the general levels of tomfoolery, this year promises to be bigger than ever! How, you ask?

Oh man. I just made an offer on a challenge car today.  Hope they accept the offer.  

German.  Yes

Forced induction from the factory?  Yes but half of it is missing.  

An interior that is a bio hazard?  Absolutely!!!  Why it is at half challenge price.  The steering wheel that should be black was green and furry.  

Ran when parked?  Owner does not remember as it was 10 years ago.  

What could go wrong. Lol.

Unfortunately I am not able to finish the Wartburg in time (as my updated registration shows) but I am bringing something equally German with just as many cylinders

We got slammed with work at exactly the wrong time and weeks of getting home at 9 don’t lend themselves to garage time.

Is there a rule that said the whole car has to cross the finish line in the drags?  Or is it just that part of it has to get to the finish line?  

(Asking for a friend). Ya that is it. My friend wants to know this. laugh

I entered, but had to sell car due to time space issues, and thanks to work I won’t even be in the country.  Can I pass on my entry or roll it over?

The SR powered Opel (with a medley of parts from other makes) will be making another appearance this year. I had planned to have it all sorted out and dialed in, but it hasn't made it out of the garage since last September. . .

Tom more than exceeded my wildest expectations.  The staff of GRM is exceptional in caring about members and subscribers more than profit.
