That's the spirit!
I wonder how many of us are Rookies and half-budget contenders.
I know the probe and q45 are half budget. I think dusterb13 is a rookie
Wyatt, When you register let them know if you are in a special class, like under $1,000 or Rookie. They really don't hunt you down to see what sub-class you could be in, you should tell them.
Half budget and Rookie here.
Counting the days haven't been this excited for a race in years!
Thanks. I'll let someone know the moment I'm absolutely positive we're not going over half budget. Though, we'd have to suddenly spend a bunch more money without good cause to go over it.

How about some more detail? Your screen name does not tell us who you are on the Entry List or what you'll be running.
You have good reason to be excited!
Will the General tire challenge be in miatas again this year?

My guess is Chris Beach in a Neon out of Arizona?
We are definitely a rookie team. How does that even work when you have a team if you're going for Rookie of the Year?
In reply to Dusterbd13 :
Rookie team of year whether it's a one person team or a cast of thousand newbs.
Rookie here... I don’t have enough left in the car to “sell off” for half budget. Even though I’m damn close including buying a used transmission at retail.
In reply to Ovid_and_Flem :
The other neon guy. That said the neon due to a slight engine building mishap won't be making it this go around. Blair Warner bringing a VR6 powered 92 Golf.
Just drove that cheapass pos 5 miles without breaking down. I’m ready.

Just got word we'll have an MX-5 RF 6-speed and an automatic Mazda 3 GT.
I'm a rookie, and my budget sheet for the Firebird says that I have currently spent $767.66.
I also am coming alone, my team mate backed out on me (due to work). I have a two bed room reserved. Anyone need a place to sleep?
Did our team register early enough to be included in the shootout? Steve Stafford registered us
In reply to Dusterbd13 :
The first 20 entries get a ticket to the General Tire Challenge. It looks like you guys were team number 24 to register.
Cool. Thanks ed.
There will be at least one ticket available for someone. And, I think Fuzzy registered early enough to have one. I know we will be too busy to participate in that part of the event.
GRM, you may want to establish a "be here when your number (21, 22, 23...) is called" line and protocal.

John Welsh is driving on behalf of Team Alavanche. Drag prep is more important than the general tire challenge.
Loading trailer tomorrow. Supposed to downpour sunday so I've got one shot to be ready to leave Tuesday after work
And we're in worse shape than ever. This is starting to feel a lot like a sinking ship. If we don't get it back together, running, with a working trans by the end of Saturday, I think we might be doomed!

I'm hopefully coming down early Fri AM, alone as well, no car but have been turning wrenches since '79 (I'm 47 next Sat, it's a great story) so if I make it I'll find the "drunk chicken Firebird" and help out as needed. No, I've not made sleeping arrangements yet
In reply to Justjim75 :
Appreciated. I'm really hoping to not break anything that I can't fix with duct tape and zip ties, but it will be with a Ram 1500 that should have a grill in the bed.
