Screen names should be on the cars someplace...

My self Jimmy and (Silence) Carlos would be the two owners for the Condor Speed Shop's E30 aka the DirtE30

I like that idea. I has there last year and probably missed some people because I didn't realize who they were.

How about requiring people's screen names on the registration, on their name tags, and also on the car (vinyl on the window, where the driver's name is typically).

There are at least 2 board members with vinyl cutting capabilities. Bet they'd cut a deal.

7 years later, I still don't know who the heck some people are.

Perhaps that is a bad reflection on myself...

I had my username on my name tag when I challenged

Nobody knows me by my real name.

So, um - who won?

Not you.

Georgia Tech in the V-8 Miata.

I seem to recall our nametags in 2005 had "Hello my Screename is:" on them.

Two things struck me as odd about this year - only 3 Civics, and no Neons.

Team External Combustion consists of WiblerM3 (Dave), Miatame (Jeff), Ma$$hole (Rob), Pseudosport (Greg), our friend who isn't on here yet (Pat), and myself (Tony). We had the token red Miata and of course, the now-famous Jeep Cherokee.

I think folks know by now but MisfitToys is

Jim Thwaite (JThw8) Chris Abbot (Sonic) Jim Wakemen (TheWake) Jeff Wakemen (Littleturquoiseb)

I am Greg Voth on the board but Reginald Lionel P. Stewart in person.

I registered under my screen name (4 years in a row). This year Per asked me for my real name at registration. My screen name was on the car's dmv tag, and the name tag I wore.
There were several times I wish I could have connect screen names to the people there.

Awesome weekend. We had out first $2011 planning conference call this morning after I put the money in the bank from selling the Hello Kitty Mustang.

Hi my name is Steve and I am an enabler

My real name is....wait for it......Pat. And I drive an Aries.

I'll call you that in real life if you let me ride along in the wagon again (...assuming, of course, that the volvo was not the source of the ford drive train that is now in the miata)

The whole shebang (including downloadable, complete results) is now available on The $2010 Challenge event page.

I've still got a TON of videos to edit and add.

Damn, oldtin, had I known that was you sitting with us at the table on Friday night, I would have said hi!

Crap. Wish I had known. It was great putting so many faces with screen names but also there were so many I missed - obviously

Funny, I had Jimmy and Carlos backwards, and oldtim would have remained unknown until we talked at the banquet.

Andy that is perfectly fine, im sure after long hours and beer everyones names become a blur. I also forgot to thank you for letting me use the feeler gauge. I did place it back in the same top drawer that I took it from. Thanks again!
