Are you not comin' Pat?
Unfortunately, not this year. Decided I needed a break and spent this years "car time" beating up on the junk I already have instead of starting over on another build. I was pretty wiped out after the ScAries build and just didn't have the motivation to build something else...or the cash for that matter.
It's good to see people talking about the Challenge again. I'll be thrilled if there is a huge turnout, with lots of cool cars. I'm rooting for a few teams at this point but I'm not sure I'm ready to make a prediction on who is going to bring home the Kuhmos and the ebay cash just yet.

I am going to come down and spectate, and hopefully help out some and have a blast. See ya there!
I think I owe you a beer!
You are always welcome in my pit area unless, of course, you want to work on a fast car!
Sweet, thanks! I look forward to having a beer with you and hanging out. I believe I owe you a beer also.
Will anyone be able to dethrone Evildky from his "Worst Attempt to Bribe the Judges" reign?
we killed a bunch of hog this year but nothing worth stuffing

I will be there. Hope fully the car will be running Sunday.
I fired it up then started on the turbo.
Hopefully it will see paint next weekend.
Is there an entry list somewhere?

Are you trying to get me drunk? You know I'm a married man, right?

Careful... as engineering students you can pick an enormous fight around here trying to use a "torque" as a unit of measure!
I'll be there. it's gonna hurt a little financially since i'm back in school now but i can't go another year without a challenge weekend, just can't.
and seriously POOP you gotta come, it wouldnt be a challenge without you people!
I'll be there for another year of observing and cheering. Someday I'll be a participant, probably with a miata that pulls duty as a $2k challenger, rallycrosser, and chump car racer.

Maybe... that goes to my work email, i need to change it. I'll see it in the morning.
Fixed the fueling on the MX6 an hour ago. Running a little richer now, pulls even harder, and i should be good to punt it another 8-10psi to get me in the 22-24 range. Did 60-80 in 5th gear in less than 2 seconds.
Trying to decide if i have time to throw on the meth kit or not to push a little bit more out of it.
I think I might make an appearance, but I don't think I'm going to hang around as much this year as in the past 2 years. At least I have a more comfortable car to sleep in this year, lol. I might even drive home.

I completely forgot about bribes.
I had an idea that involved live lobsters, duct tape, and knives, but that was vetoed by other team members because it could be dangerous for the judges.
Back to the drawing board...

and it makes you sound like berkeleying retards to real engineers. no smiley.
Team Also Ran Racing (BradLTL, 93EXCivic, Psolver1, and Argo1) will be there with our nuclear powered 280Z.
